Innowacyjna technologia napędu satelitarnego

LuPPT 2 Instytut Fizyki Plazmy i Laserowej Mikrosyntezy wraz z liderem przemysłowym - firmą Progresja Space Sp. z o.o. - otrzymają dofinansowanie na realizację projektu pt. „Impulsowy napęd plazmowy do nano i mikro satelitów”. Wniosek został złożony w ramach Programu Operacyjnego Inteligentny Rozwój 2014-2020 i otrzymał pozytywną ocenę Narodowego Centrum Badań i Rozwoju.

Celem projektu jest udoskonalenie i wdrożenie technologii impulsowego napędu plazmowego dla nano i mikro satelitów. W odróżnieniu od rozwiązań klasycznych, w których wykorzystywany jest teflon, opracowany silnik będzie zasilany ciekłym paliwem. Będą go wyróżniać przede wszystkim mała masa i objętość, bardzo niski pobór mocy oraz wysoka wydajność. Rozwijana technologia zapewnia wysoką precyzję dozowania ciągu, umożliwiającą dokładne pozycjonowanie i orientację satelity. Napęd PPT (Pulsed Plasma Thruster) będzie pierwszym polskim komercyjnym silnikiem satelitarnym.

Wartość projektu to ponad 5,5 mln zł.
