The French government and BPIfrance continues supporting our R&D, for which we are extremely grateful. With the I-NOV grant we will develop our innovative RF acceleration for neutralizer free gridded ion thrusters.

Après avoir dirigé l’équipe de recherche Plasma Froid du Laboratoire de Physique au CNRS, Ane Aanesland a décidé de passer du monde de la recherche à celui de l’entrepreneuriat. En lançant ThrustMe, la chercheuse d’origine norvégienne, veut rendre l’industrie spatiale « durable ». Portrait d’une chercheuse-entrepreneure de la Deeptech.

Cubesats are becoming more and more capable — once considered a useful “toy” to educate aerospace engineers, they are now widely used for scientific research and commercial applications.

Is it possible to bring the ionosphere down to earth?

On the 21st May 2019, ThrustMe will deliver a unique plasma device to the University of Oslo, Norway. This device has a very special purpose: creating an artificial ionosphere in the laboratory here on earth.

In the last decade or so, industries around the world have experienced unprecedented disruption due to advances in computing and information technology. This is also true for the space industry and, today, commercial opportunities and easier access are allowing a democratisation of space. The authors explain the role of smallsat propulsion systems in this disruptive era.

La chercheuse d’origine norvégienne Ane Aanesland s’est rendue au Big Bang Éco pour présenter ThrustMe, une des start-up françaises du New Space les plus en vue. La jeune société francilienne qu’elle a fondée fabrique des moteurs économes pour les petits satellites, de plus en plus nombreux au-dessus de nos têtes.
