Pro Tip 1/3Space Technology
Used often to describe systems in spacecrafts or satellites designed to control movement and direction.
The lunar module's thrusters were critical for a safe moon landing.
Pro Tip 2/3Not Always Loud
Thrusters like ion thrusters are quiet compared to conventional rocket thrusters, which are very loud.
Despite its power, the ion thruster operated silently in the vacuum of space.
Pro Tip 3/3Subtle Distinctions
Different types like 'ion', 'rocket', and 'propulsion' thrusters vary in technology and application.
The spacecraft uses different thrusters for launch and for maneuvering in orbit.

Busted 38 Ton Engine PIPE...
here in the open ocean second of all you can't flip the thing upside down so that means divers have got to go in and do it from the bottom in order to free up the old thruster they'll have to attach cables to the top of it and drop it out the bottom of the hull then a giant crane will lift the thruster onto a waiting support vessel they'll transfer
Video examples
Will future spacecraft...
One example of how this might work is called microfluidic electrospray propulsion. It's a type of ion thruster, which means that it shoots out charged particles to generate momentum.
