ThrustMe will provide seven I2T5 iodine cold gas propulsion systems for Spire three-unit (3U) cubesats scheduled to launch later 2022 on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rideshare mission.
ThrustMe’s NPT30-I2-1.5U electric propulsion system will be integrated into the GomSpace-led GOMX-5 technology demonstration mission.
ThrustMe was awarded an ESA GSTP contract to develop and qualify the electric propulsion system NPT30-I2-1.5U.
The GOMX-5 satellite will be equipped with several advanced payloads and will use ThrustMe propulsion for orbit raising and end-of-life disposal.
ThrustMe’s NPT30-I2-1.5U was selected to provide maneuverability for orbit raising, end-of-life disposal, and to support satellite position accuracy on the GOMX-5 mission.
Hisea-1 carries an iodine electric propulsion system developed by French startup ThrustMe for orbit maintenance, collision avoidance, and de-orbiting.
The jury included Euroconsult CEO Pacôme Révillon, CEO of Seraphim Capital Mark Boggett, Founder of Promus Ventures Mike Colett, President of Mynaric USA Tina Ghataore, Founder & CEO of ThrustMe Ane Aenesland, and Member of SpaceResources.lu Jean-Jacques Dordain.
ThrustMe developed an iodine-fueled electric propulsion thruster that will be tested on NorSat-TD to demonstrate the ability to change a satellite’s orbit.
NorSat-TD will test an iodine-fueled electric propulsion thruster developed by French startup ThrustMe to change the satellite’s orbit.
ThrustMe tested the NPT30-I2-1U during two 90-minute burns in late December 2020 and early January 2021.
A further ThrustMe demonstration is planned aboard the GOMspace GOMx-5 mission in 2022-04-01.
ThrustMe and Spacety first collaborated in 2019 on the I2T5 non-pressurized cold gas thruster aboard Xiaoxiang-1 (08) CubeSat.
ThrustMe plans two in-orbit demonstrations of its 1.5U propulsion unit, with the first demonstration scheduled for 2021.
The European Space Agency supported the development of ThrustMe’s NPT30-I2-1U through the ARTES C&G program funded by France.
ThrustMe successfully tested an iodine-fueled electric propulsion system in space aboard the Spacety Beihangkongshi-1 satellite.
