Ice2thrust
Ice2Thrust.Space (S4I2T) is an EU-funded project (GA number 101161690) that aims to develop a next-generation solar electric water propulsion system, as well as investigate and advance the in-space resource utilization and mobility architecture surrounding it. The project, which commenced on 1 September 2024, spans 36 months and has an ambitious goal of achieving significant breakthroughs in solar-powered propulsion technology, in-situ resource utilization, and AI-driven mobility in space. These efforts will address critical technological challenges and bottlenecks. The project envisions offering a high-performance platform that enables autonomous spacecraft docking and propellant refilling, which promotes both economic and environmental sustainability. It also facilitates in-orbit servicing, robotics, and in-space manufacturing. The project explores in-space water extraction and utilization from celestial bodies, contributing to a self-sustaining circular space economy based on solar energy harvesting.
