OUR TECHNOLOGY

A REVOLUTIONARY PLASMA THRUSTER FOR THE NEW SPACE AGE

An ultra-efficient electric system with an unparalleled power-to-mass ratio

​

​

The Magdrive delivers high thrusts for all satellite maneuvers and missions

​

​

We use a high-density propellant that burns 100x hotter than a rocket

​

​

The plasma is contained by magnetic fields, reducing mass and launch costs

​

​

The Magdrive enables entirely new space missions and business models
