#DYK that electric propulsion systems that power small #satellites rely on gas propellants like xenon or krypton? But:
⚠️they are pricey & in short supply
✅to tackle this #iFACT proposes a unique thruster principle paired with iodine as propellant & tailored feeding architecture
🎉Looking forward to this great event❗️
