Electric propulsion for small satellites
3 European H2020 organizations list this as part of their work — 3 as their primary capability.
Most active in this area
- TECHNOLOGY FOR PROPULSION AND INNOVATION SRL
Italian SME developing plasma-based electric propulsion and antenna systems for small satellites and spacecraft navigation.
“Coordinated the MHT project to develop a Mini Helicon Thruster specifically designed for small satellite platforms.”
PrimarySMEIT3 projects - ENPULSION GmbH
Austrian SME developing electric ion propulsion systems for small satellites from 1 to 500 kg, with two EU-funded products.
“Both IFM nano thruster (2016) and IFM Micro Thruster (2017) projects center on electric propulsion systems designed for satellites in the 1–500 kg class.”
PrimarySMEAT2 projects - GOMSPACE SWEDEN AB
Swedish space hardware SME specializing in miniaturized batteries and electric propulsion systems for nanosatellites and small spacecraft.
“HiperLoc-EP (2017–2019) targeted development of a high-performance, low-cost electric propulsion system — the kind of miniaturized thruster essential for nanosatellite orbit control and deorbit.”
