By ENPULSION 06 Sep: ENPULSION delivers compact electric propulsion systems to The Aerospace Corporation Four ENPULSION NANO propulsion systems were shipped to The Aerospace Corporation (Aerospace) for their DiskSat demonstration mission which is expected to be ready to fly by the end of 2024. DiskSat’s alternative approach to the CubeSat combines the benefits of a containerized launch with large surface areas that can be dedicated to power generation, antennas, and/or instruments needing exposure to space.
By ENPULSION 29 Aug: Space Inventor and ENPULSION successfully positioned the world’s first nanosatellite in GEO On May 1st, GS-1 by Gravity Space, the world’s first nanosatellite destined for geostationary orbit, was launched on board a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket. Mid July it reached another important milestone: commissioning of the spacecraft was successfully completed and the satellite was sent on its way to its final orbit in GEO, which it successfully reached last week by utilizing three of ENPULSION’s NANO AR³ propulsion systems.

By ENPULSION 25 Jan: OHB Italia selected ENPULSION as propulsion partner for the IRIDE constellation OHB Italia selected ENPULSION as their propulsion partner for the IRIDE constellation. In December 2022 OHB Italia and ENPULSION signed a contract for the delivery of 12 NANO thrusters, using ENPULSION’s unique Field Emission Electric Propulsion (FEEP) technology.
By ENPULSION 13 Jan: Launching 144 FEEP propulsion systems – on orbit data and lessons learnt A recent peer reviewed journal paper published in the Journal of Electric Propulsion shows that, while many other successful propulsion companies talk about “units sold”, ENPULSION has reached an entirely different level of creating value for its customers by having 144 propulsion systems in space by the end of 2022.
By ENPULSION 13 Dec: ENPULSION’s NEO thruster successfully passed Preliminary Design Review (PDR) with ESA ENPULSION has reached another important milestone in the development of its next generation of thrusters and the new age of in-space mobility. The NEO thruster has successfully passed the Preliminary Design Review (PDR) with ESA. The NEO propulsion system is a new class of electric propulsion, scaling Field Emission Electric Propulsion (FEEP) technology to the kilowatt range. The new satellite thruster builds on the extensive heritage of the ENPULSION thruster family.
