I was reading about a few mission that sent spacecraft s very far from the Earth.
Like the Pioneer 10, which went past the asteroid belt, Jupiter, and lost contact with Earth on 2003.
I tried to search for, but didn't find what those kind of spacecraft s use to gain speed in the space.
I know they use Radioisotopes thermoelectric generators to power up all experiments and computers on the spacecraft , but can you move a spacecraft using a kind of electric motor in space?
