Engineers developed an engine prototype which could reach unprecedented speeds, cutting down interplanetary travel time.

Russia's state-owned Rosatom announced a prototype plasma engine which could speed up travel to other planets.

Russia is testing a new plasma rocket engine that would drastically reduce travel time from earth to mars using charged hydrogen particle system. Using the existing technologies, it may take somewhere between 7-36 months to travel between the two planets.

Russian scientists have unveiled an ambitious new plasma engine that could drastically cut the travel time to Mars, reducing the journey from several months to just one or two. If successful, this breakthrough could redefine interplanetary exploration and bring humanity closer to deep-space travel.
