A 33% increase in specific impulse could translate to rockets carrying significantly more payload, thereby reducing the cost per launch and enhancing the overall efficiency of space missions. For instance, a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, which currently can carry up to 63,800 kg to low Earth orbit (LEO), could potentially carry an additional 21,000 kg of payload if this technology were implemented. This would have profound implications for both commercial and scientific missions, offering more flexibility and capability at a lower cost.
