ThrustMe

It’s summer time at ThrustMe ⛱ 🥳 Last week, our team took a break to unwind and connect. Even during our downtime, our engineering instincts kicked in, leading us to a fun and creative challenge: building the tallest, most beautiful tower using just scissors and paper. The vibration and shock tests were indeed a part of the qualification, adding to the fun and enjoyment. A huge shoutout to our trophy winners and kudos to everyone for their efforts. 🏆 Want to be part of a company where you truly feel at home?

Our dedicated commitment to sustainable space exploration is not just a goal but a driving force behind our diverse in-orbit propulsion product lines. Join us on our journey towards a more sustainable space industry! #sustainablespace #ThrustMe #propulsion #iodine

💻 Machine learning to address multidimensional performance mapping of fully integrated propulsion systems - what a fantastic presentation! During the IEPC, Alfio E. Vinci presented our latest research article, “Inference of iodine ion thruster performance envelope at system-level using neural networks.” Our study details the performance envelope of iodine ion thrusters using neural network techniques. This research has provided comprehensive insights into the behaviour and optimisation of ion thrusters at system level. To all who took part in the presentation, thank you.

🎯 The lifetime testing challenges of a complete iodine-based electric propulsion system presented at the IEPC! The lifetime study is fundamental to increasing the reliability and efficiency of electric propulsion systems, allowing for more robust and long-lasting space missions. During Elena Zorzoli Rossi's presentation, she exposed the unique challenges in testing iodine-fed electric propulsion systems, insights into the effects of back-sputtering and mitigation techniques to ensure accurate lifetime testing, and a comparison of experimental results with numerical simulations, showing significant alignment.

💬 "ThrustMe successfully completed the testing of the first Hall thruster propulsion system fully operational on iodine. Next year we will have a fully developed qualified product, ready for in-orbit demonstration!" - Alfio E. Vinci during the presentation at the IEPC. Building on the proven reliability of iodine-compatible subsystems from ThrustMe’s flight-proven propulsion products, ThrustMe is proud to introduce the JPT150, the first Hall thruster propulsion system designed to operate entirely on iodine. During the IEPC, Alfio E. Vinci and Francesco Bianchi presented comprehensive insights into the JPT150, including both its modeling and experimental results. Thank you for attending our presentations! For more detailed information, visit our website to access the full articles information. #space #propulsion #IEPC #IEPC2024 #hallthruster #innovation

🚀  Happy with our exciting presentation at the IEPC, where we introduced the LTA100, a versatile tool designed by ThrustMe to reproduce the upper atmosphere environment for testing space hardware before launch. Modeling space hazards is challenging, and addressing issues in space is costly. Success in space innovation relies on de-risking systems. Accurately simulating the space environment greatly aids development and qualification. Dr. Dmytro Rafalskyi’s presentation, "RF Plasma Flow Generator for LEO Environment Simulation: Use Cases," was a highlight at the IEPC. Special attention has been given to the use in airbreathing propulsion development, where the need for ground testing is growing. A big thank you to everyone who attended the presentation! For those who missed it or want more details, you can access the paper on our website. Explore how the LTA100 can revolutionize your space missions today! #space #innovation #IEPC #IEPC2024 #propulsion
