Electric Propulsion Innovation and Competitiveness 2.0 (EPIC2)

Project description

Promoting electric propulsion innovation and competitiveness

The preceding EU-funded EPIC project created a roadmap and master plan for in-space electrical propulsion and station-keeping. Its next phase, EPIC2, builds on this project’s achievements aiming to complete the implementation of the electric propulsion technology strategic research cluster (SRC). This will involve assessing SRC operational grant activities and results, updating the master plan, identifying the activities required to address relevant challenges and creating coherent actions in the electric propulsion field. The project’s activities will help to increase the technological readiness level of future electric propulsion technologies and enhance the competitiveness of the European space industry.
