In recent years the role of CubeSats has grown hugely in the space sector. From experimental satellites testing  innovative technologies to constellations that aim to compliment and even enhance the services offered by larger more traditional spacecraft. In addition to the CubeSat sector growing we also see an increased move towards CubeSats with active propulsion on board using novel chemical and electric propulsion systems. 
ESA would like to nourish these developments.

This year ESA would like to host the second edition of the Workshop on Propulsion4CubeSats. This Workshop serves as forum to exchange information on the latest industry developments and the ESA activities in the CubeSats propulsion domain, to discuss the technical/regulatory challenges facing the industry in sustaining further growth and competitiveness, to discuss needs for standards particularly related to safety and qualification/acceptance test and to discuss needs for advanced test facilities.

This two day online event is intended to act as an open forum for you, the innovators, drivers and major players of this expanding sector to discuss the current state of CubeSat Propulsion in Europe and to allow us to identify areas of collaboration and gaps that ESA might help to bridge.

The event is open to the European propulsion industry and research institutes/centres, CubeSATs manufactures and operators, launchers and ESA personnel with interest in CubeSat missions.

Company Directory

ESA’s intention is to strengthen the member states Cubesat Propulsion Industry, to this end we would like to invite you to create a company profile, including company and product brochures, contact details and any information that you would like to share with the other participants. The aim is to facilitate the exchange of information within the European cubesat market. It will allow you to show what your organisation is capable of and how you might be able to work together, we hope it will also serve as a resource for you too, a place where you can easily see all the players in the European propulsion cubesat market and the products and services they offer. 

If you would like to provide information the following should be included:

  • Company information - Location, number of employees, heritage
  • Product information -  List of products including and technical information, TRL level, expected qualification date, expected first flight, heritage flights etc 
  • Contact information – main point of contact for the company and/or propulsion point of contact, link to website etc
  • Brochures or catalogues – if you have a brochure or catalogue it can be included as an attachment or as a link

If you would like to upload information for your company, please make use of this link
