The project mainly consists of a few smaller sub-projects:
-Deuterium Gas System
-RF Ion Source
-Electronic Controls
To ensure safe and stable operation of the accelerator sever electronically actuated valves and pumps will be used to control things such as gas flow into the ion source, and cooling fluid to the titanium target (primarily to reduce secondary emissions)
-Vacuum System
For a particle accelerator to work properly, vacuum levels on the same order as those in deep space much be achieved and maintained within a discrete chamber. This involves high precision machined flanges and several stages of vacuum pumps
