"Is it tough? Hell yeah, this is the hardest thing I have ever done. It has brought me to my knees, past my breaking point. Doing conventionally multi-million dollar level research on essentially pennies..."

Well that's one way to think about propulsion!

If you could put propulsion on your CubeSat, what would you do?

It seems like all revenue generating space companies need to take this approach at least to some degree at some point in their journey.

You don't need much thrust to do a lot in LEO.

I spoke with Kalle Vaha-Jaakkola from @spacenation and asked him about growth obstacles. His response... "I would say that growth obstacles are ultimately always internal.... a venture to outer space is a venture to inner space"

Did you know there are over 100 million bits of space debris in low earth orbit?
NZ takes its role as a responsible space actor seriously; anything launched from here must comply with international debris mitigation standards.

@Applied_Ion "All EP systems draw upon well-established technologies and principles in many other fields of research and industrial applications. Pulsed plasma thrusters are just flash camera circuits that ablate fuel rather than trigger a xenon flash tube."

@Applied_Ion This is one of my favorite segments from this interview series. My favorite line... 👇

@spacenewspod We recently explored the challenges of smallsat propulsion. The advances that are made in this space will dramatically change smallsat mission profiles.
