An electrothermal thruster including a heating section through which a propellant fluid is intended to pass to be heated before being exhausted, the heating section being supplied by an electric power source The electric power source includes photovoltaic cells mounted on the heat exchanger through which the propellant fluid is intended to pass before reaching the heating section. Such a device may, for example, find application in the area of spacecraft propulsion.
