Mostly small nuclear batteries which run for decades. They are a version of a reactor, but micro-sized. Also, increasing use of ion engines, which output a small thrust, but keep accelerating constantly, building up increasing speeds over long periods of time.

Can Magnetoplasmadynamic Thrusters Be Used On Aircraft?

Future power-rich robotic and piloted outer planet missions will require exhaust velocities approaching 100,000 meters per second (over 200,000 mph). These higher velocities can be achieved using noncondensable hydrogen plasmas, which are currently under investigation at NASA Glenn. As research continues, the efficiency of the MPD thruster will be increased, which will allow missions with reduced propellant requirements or increased range. Higher exhaust velocities and thrust levels will lead to shorter trip times and reduced mission cost, which is especially beneficial for cargo and piloted missions. As large amounts of power become available in space, MPD thrusters may become the method of propulsion that carries humans to other planets in our solar system.
