The image shows a spacecraft with ion engines. Ion engines use electricity to ionize propellant gas, usually xenon, and then accelerate the ions by electrostatic forces. This creates thrust. Ion engines are very efficient and can produce a lot of thrust for a small amount of propellant. They are often used for long-duration missions, such as those to the outer planets. The spacecraft in the image is using its ion engines to travel to Mars.
