Advanced Propulsion

The study of Advanced Propulsion Systems in the ACT focuses on the research and assessment of novel propulsion concepts and technologies and their potential benefit to future mission architectures.

Welcome to the section related to ACT activities in the field of advanced propulsion. You can find here information on past and ongoing projects.

Breakthroughs in advanced propulsion can significantly improve space mission performance well beyond what can be achieved with today's conventional systems. Main benefits include improvements in overall mission delta-V manoeuvre capability and the enablement of entirely new missions or space transportation architectures, faster trip times, substantial increase in payload mass delivery, or a large reduction in overall spacecraft mass/size leading to launch cost savings.
