A review of eight studies outlines diagnostic techniques and modeling advances for optimizing electric propulsion systems ...
Electrospray technology has made the leap from the lab into real space operations. HYPERION’s successful flight test marks the ...
ION-X has successfully performed the first-ever in-orbit firing of a European-developed ionic liquid electrospray thruster. This milestone marks only the second global demonstration of this advanced ...
A new ion engine has been tested in a lab, proving itself to be 25 times more powerful than NASA's current state-of-the-art one. This advanced technology could one day assist humans in reaching Mars.
New Mexico, June 17, 2025 — Desert Works Propulsion (DWP) has successfully completed initial testing of multiple prototype discharge and neutralizer cathodes developed for Turion Space Corp.’s TIE-20 ...
Choosing an orbit for a satellite always comes with trade-offs. Very low Earth orbit (VLEO), between 100–450 km (62–280 miles), has distinct advantages. Remote-sensing cameras can take better pictures ...
Space is unforgiving about inefficiency. Every kilogram launched costs somewhere between $2,000 and $10,000 depending on the vehicle – and that’s on a good day with a favorable contract. In that ...
The X3 Nested-channel Hall Thruster (NHT), is a 100-kW class thruster developed jointly by the Plasmadynamics and Electric Propulsion Laboratory (PEPL) at the University of Michigan, led by Alec ...
