Scalable and sustainable space infrastructure. Closer to Earth

Our technology propels a new generation of satellites operating in Very Low Earth Orbit, where debris cannot stay

Meet VOLTA

Meet VOLTA

​A compact air-breathing ion engine that turns thin atmosphere into propulsion.

Built for the Edge

Endurance and agility for nano and micro satellites in the low-radiation, debris-free VLEO environment.

See More. Reach Further

Designed for the boldest optical, telecom, and radar missions at the edge of space.

VOLTA

Turning Drag into Opportunity

Long life, high performance

Our solution combines solar electric propulsion with in-orbit atmosphere harvesting, producing thrust only from renewable resources: sunlight and air.

More missions

Engineered for next-generation VLEO constellations of nano- and microsatellites, extending mission lifetimes by up to 10× at unprecedentedly low altitudes.

World first

World-first experimental evidence of net thrust generation in air-breathing conditions, enabled by a proprietary innovation in how the engine ionizes the ingested atmosphere
