In-Space Propulsion Institute

The In-Space Propulsion Institute is a research organization focused on advancing propulsion technologies used for spacecraft traveling in space. It studies and develops systems like ion thrusters and electric propulsion, which are more efficient than traditional chemical rockets. These innovations enable longer, more sustainable missions to explore the solar system and beyond. The institute collaborates with industry, government, and academia to improve space transportation, reduce costs, and support future exploration efforts. Its goal is to push the boundaries of space travel by enhancing propulsion methods that are critical for the next generation of space missions.
