Aerospace is at the cutting edge of electric propulsion research, and this lab is one of the world’s foremost facilities for the advanced study of electric propulsion thrusters.
About Electric Propulsion
Electric propulsion produces significantly less thrust than chemical propulsion but is much more efficient in terms of the amount of fuel used. It’s too weak to launch rockets through the atmosphere, but once in space, the lack of gravity allows electric propulsion thrusters’ true potential to shine. Historically, electric propulsion has mostly been used for station-keeping of satellites. But its highly efficient nature opens up possibilities for long-distance space exploration missions with the small but constant thrust building up over time, accelerating the spacecraft to a very high velocity.
About This Lab
Aerospace provides end-to-end testing of electric propulsion thrusters, from measuring thrust, exhaust velocity and specific impulse to more advanced work like plume characterization, which helps quantify the risk of damage to other parts of the spacecraft. The lab also offers non-invasive testing using laser and optical diagnostics.
We are equipped to test the latest large electric propulsion devices or smaller micro-thrusters that go on CubeSats, with tests spanning from just a few hours up to more than a year.
Browse through the space and check out our newly installed vacuum chamber, EP3, that will enable us to test the newer, high-powered thrusters needed for future space exploration, or visit “The Snake Pit” where we test the tiniest of thrusters.

Electric propulsion in spacecraft involves the application of electrical energy to a gas. The electrical energy breaks the gas down, producing ions and electrons, while the electric field of the thruster pulls these ions away from the thruster at a very high velocity, thereby creating thrust.

It's not all about electric thrusters in this lab!
Water bears are fascinating little animals smaller than 1 mm long. They can survive extreme pressure, radiation and temperatures, and can even live in the vacuum of space. They go into a hibernation state in which their metabolism is suspended and they don’t need food or water for more than 30 years!
Our scientists are researching how water bears (also known by their scientific name: tardigrade) can survive in space by putting them in our vacuum chamber. Understanding how these remarkable creatures function can help us understand human factors and habitability for space exploration.

The plume from an electric thruster can interfere with the operation of the spacecraft's solar panels. This Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Chamber is used for testing that interaction, to ensure no problems occur.
Electrostatic discharge can harm other spacecraft components, and can also be caused by energetic electrons from the space environment.

The vacuum is maintained in the chamber by cryopumps that condense gases on their super-cold surfaces, similar to condensation of water on a cold glass on a hot day. The EP3 chamber combines six off-the-shelf pumps with an in-house-designed pumping system that consists of 28 panels assembled into four rings.

This unique electromagnetic interference and compatibility (EMI/EMC) test facility lets us acquire thruster emission data that is critical for spacecraft integration concerns. An 8-foot-long RF-transparent fiberglass vacuum chamber is attached to EP3 through a large gate valve and is surrounded by a semi-anechoic room that provides isolation from background noise.

To simulate the vacuum of space, the EP3 chamber uses cryopumps that require liquid nitrogen. To support EP3, the lab installed a new 9000-liter liquid nitrogen tank.
