WHAT ARE EDTs?
EDTs are in-orbit conductors that can provide drag and thrust without using propellant; effectively serving as de-orbiting devices as well as in-orbit propulsion solutions.
GREEN SPACE PROPULSION TECHNOLOGY
The space sector is experiencing strong structural changes driven by new private actors, a dramatic cost reduction for orbital launch, new challenges like the space debris, and opportunities like the booming on-orbit servicing market.
To cover the new propulsion needs of the space sector, we offer a set of products based on ElectroDynamic Tethers (EDT) that can provide drag and a thrust without using propellant.
At PERSEI Space, we are committed to finding technological solutions for the sustainable use of space. Our hallmark is the innovative space technology of EDTs.
As enablers of space technologies applied to post-mission disposal, active debris removal, and in-orbit servicing, we intend to share our insights to foster a more sustainable space sector.
HOW WE DO IT
Like sailing boats, that travel without fuel by using the wind, EDTs interact with the space environment (ambient plasma and geomagnetic field) to produce a force without using propellant.
