The GIESEPP (Gridded Ion Engine Standardised Electric Propulsion Platform) project has been set up to develop, build and test to TRL5 the first European Plug and Play Gridded Ion Engine System to operate ArianeGroup and QinetiQ Space Ion Engines for LEO, GEO and Space Exploration Missions.
The approach to system standardisation will provide highly cost competitive and innovative Electric Propulsion Systems whilst meeting the technical requirements needed to address our customer needs for future satellite assets.
The Project will also describe the roadmap to higher TRL by 2024.
