The 2nd 2024 issue of the EASN - European Aeronautics Science Network #newsletter is out!
The iFACT-MP initiative, short for iodine Fed Advanced Cusp field Thruster for Mid-Power, that launched in the beginning of the year, is a 24-month project funded by the European Union. Its primary objective is to enhance and solidify Europe's leading role in iodine EP (Electric Propulsion).
Check out the newsletter to learn more about the project’s mission, objectives and expected impacts, as it aims to address all the essential components necessary to facilitate the implementation of an iodine EP subsystem.
iFACT-MP Website Launch
Exciting news! The all-new iFACT-MP website has just launched! Discover how the team aims to develop a robust iodine-fed thruster for the 3-5kW range, by focusing on key components like the Advanced Cusp Field Thruster (ACFT), the fluid system, the neutralizer and the PPU breadboard.
iFACT-MP sets its goal to scale up the ACFT and develop the necessary fluidic components to realize a functional iodine Electric Propulsion (EP) subsystem and enhance its maturity.
