After significant support from the French state and the European Commission, ThrustMe has announced their first contract with the European Space Agency (ESA) ARTES C&G program in support of the development of a breakthrough technology to solve emerging challenges in space associated with the rise of satellite constellations.

Médaille de l’innovation 2019 du CNRS, la chercheuse, co-fondatrice de la start-up française ThrustMe, a inventé un moteur révolutionnaire pour les nanosatellites.

French propulsion startup ThrustMe unexpectedly made it into orbit early this month with its innovative propulsion system placed aboard a Chinese cubesat.

ThrustMe and Spacety have announced that the first propulsive operations have been conducted, and this milestone occurring just 15 days after the successful launch of the first ever, iodine-propelled smallsat.

BREMEN, Germany – Spacety and  ThrustMe reported success in initial on-orbit testing of an iodine-fueled cubesat thruster at the Space Tech Expo Europe here.

“It all operates as expected but we cannot give you data on the performance because we have just thrusted a little bit,” ThrustMe CEO Ane Aanesland told SpaceNews.

Only 15 days after the successful launch of the first ever iodine-propelled satellite, ThrustMe and Spacety announce that the first propulsive operations have been conducted.
