The project develops ATHENA, an innovative electric thruster using electrospray technology for small satellites. This propulsion system aims to enhance operational flexibility, extend mission lifetimes, and address space debris through controlled maneuvers.
Small satellite manufacturers, integrators, and their clients have proven reluctant to incorporate on-board propulsion since it comes in conflict with the already stringent payload requirements.
These power/volume/mass constraints have limited historical adoption to under 7% and 1% in the nano- and pico-satellite classes.In response to the perceived market need, ienai SPACE is developing ATHENA (Adaptable Thruster based on Electrospray for Nano-/micro-/pico-satellites) an innovative electric th…
