Question by Vitki: What is the specific impulse and fuel consumption of the VASIMR engine?

Answer by ronwizfr
This paper http://www.adastrarocket.com/TimSTAIF2005.pdf quotes 5,000-12,000s for the specific impulse, but I remember also having seen values that were in the 20,000s and more.

Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_Specific_Impulse_Magnetoplasma_Rocket quotes 0.5 N for the thrust, a number I found in a lot of places, but that seems pretty low
