Engineers have successfully tested a spacecraft powered by iodine, in a development that could help transform spaceflight.

At the moment, spacecraft that use electric propulsion usually use xenon. But it is expensive, difficult to store and rare to find.

Did you know that not all ThrustMe employees are in France ? In this Canberra Innovation Network article, you will meet Trevor Lafleur, our Principal Engineer, and his innovative working space in Australia.

ThrustMe has signed a research agreement with the Research School of Physics at the Australian National University (ANU) to study new electrothermal plasma systems and alternative propellants for space applications including spacecraft propulsion, simulation of low-Earth-orbit environments and future in-situ resource utilization. The plasma systems also have important ground-based industrial applications related to material processing and waste gas disposal.

The Norwegian Space Agency and ThrustMe announce that they have completed trial integration of ThrustMe's NPT30-I2 propulsion system into the NorSat- TD satellite. During the mission, which is on schedule for launch in early 2022, both parties will demonstrate, amongst other things, just-in-time, low-thrust satellite collision avoidance maneuvers—a critical capability for acting on space situational awareness data and ensuring a sustainable space environment.

On parle beaucoup en ce moment de l’entrepreneuriat spatial, le “Newspace”, mais le domaine reste encore largement préempté par de grandes figures masculines tels que Elon Musk ou Jeff Bezos pour ne citer qu’eux. Pourtant des femmes regardent au delà des étoiles. Nous vous proposons 3 portraits à l’occasion du International Women’s Days. Partons à la découverte de Sandra Budimir, Alice Memang et Ane Aanesland.
