Future of Propulsion in the Age of Mega-Constellations
The rapid expansion of mega constellations promises to revolutionize communication, Earth observation, and global connectivity. However, this exponential growth in satellite deployment brings with it new challenges and opportunities, particularly in the realm of propulsion systems.
In this talk, we will explore the future of propulsion technology as it adapts to the unique demands of these large-scale satellite constellations. We will explore the current and future capabilities of propulsion for satellite constellation management, including orbit maintenance, collision avoidance, and long-term sustainability.
The talk will also address the future integration of new propulsion technology, such as Magdrive, and the efforts our company is making to bridge the current capability gap.
