The experimental HEIT is the latest tech demonstration to come out of Void Aerospace. The HEIT is set to be introduced on the VORTEX mission to Venus, and will fly on many future missions. Using an experimental dual electron injector design, HEIT is simultaneously a tech demonstrator for future designs.
There are certain things required for integration into a launch vehicle. You first have to drag the command disc into the upper left corner of the editor upon downloading the engine. After loading a craft you would like to integrate HEIT into, you must remove the command disc. When attaching the engine construct you must make sure the uppermost tank mounts properly to the bottom of your craft. In addition to this you can not use HEIT in career as this heavily relies on tinkering. You are free to use HEIT for whatever you desire, however in the case it is used in media we would like Void Aerospace to be credited.
Thank you for choosing us for your space exploration!

@SpaceJ1 it is stock, no mods, low part count, easy to use, every buzzword/adjective you can think of

@SpaceJ1 My guy, it's 40 parts. I don't know what kind of potato you'd have to be running this on to get any dip in frames.

Thanks for your patience, i did not know about that as i usually build planes instead of rockets

@Livingg017 You seem to be quite inquisitive, so we'll answer your questions. Most Ion thrusters produce thrust in the millinewtons, so the 1N HEIT produces is actually quite high. Yes, while RCS does produce more thrust it is orders of magnitude less efficient than electric propulsion. And to answer yor last question: The more ∆v the more scientific instruments you can pack on your spacecraft (like in the case of VORTEX I uploaded a few days ago as of writing). And lastly, thanks for the compliment, our logos do look similar.
If you'd like to ask furhter questions you can contact us on the Juno Community Discord Server.

@VoidAerospace wait wait… 1 newton? :/ it only lifts like 1.5 kg man rcs's are even more powerful, when are you going to need such a fuel saving machine? also, love your logo, looks similar to mine

@Livingg017 It has a total thrust of 1Newton, and drains power at a rate of approx. 8-9 Kw/s

Never mind, just a bug
