The optimised layout achieved a 15.7% reduction in thruster on-time — a meaningful gain in efficiency for future servicing missions.
The work establishes a baseline for AOCS hardware development, advancing Water Electrolysis Propulsion as a non-toxic, refillable alternative to conventional systems.
“Space innovation needs people as much as technology. Through SpaceVantage, we aim to help build the skills, collaboration models, and learning opportunities that will enable the next generation of European professionals to actively contribute to the future of the space sector.” -SpaceVantage Team
“The technology we are developing in Ice2Thrust.Space is only as impactful as the ecosystem that can bring it to life. By connecting with SpaceVantage, we are helping to ensure that Europe not only leads in green space innovation but also cultivates the talent to sustain it for generations to come.”
