In-space electric propulsion developer Neumann Space and SmallSat pioneer Surrey Satellite Technology have agreed to work together to test an Australian designed and manufactured in-space propulsion system as part of the CarbSAR In Orbit Demonstration Mission.
SSTL and Adelaide’s Neumann Space will begin work this year to integrate the next generation Neumann Drive as an In-orbit Demonstration (IOD) payload on board the SSTL CarbSAR satellite scheduled for launch in the second half of 2024.
Neumann Space’s CEO Herve Astier said: “Our participation in the CarbSar Demo Mission and our first piece of work with SSTL is significant for Neumann Space and for the commercialisation of our innovative propulsion technology.
