🚀 URA Thrusters 2023 Highlights 🚀 As we step into the future, we're thrilled to reflect on an incredible year of achievements at URA. Here's a glimpse of the milestones that shaped our journey in 2023: 🌌 AQUAHET Triumph We're over the moon about the successful ignition and stable operation of our 1 – 3.5 kW Hall Effect thruster, AQUAHET. Powered by oxygen and hydrogen, this technological breakthrough propels us into a new era of space exploration. 🌟 AIAA 2023 Year In Review Feature AQUAHET earned a well-deserved spot in the AIAA 2023 Year in Review, showcasing the impact of our innovation on electric propulsion. 🏆Top 50 Finalist In European Startup Prize For Mobility We're honoured to be named a top 50 finalist in the European Startup Prize for Mobility. This recognition fuels our commitment to shaping the future of mobility through cutting-edge technology. 🛰️UK Space Agency's Space Clusters Infrastructure Fund (SCIF) Thanks to the UK Space Agency's Space Clusters Infrastructure Fund, we're developing our own state-of-the-art sustainable propulsion manufacturing and testing facility. Receiving this support gears us up for stellar accomplishments in the space sector. As we celebrate these achievements, we're energized and ready for the opportunities that 2024 holds. Thank you to our incredible team, partners, and supporters who make the journey possible. Here's to reaching new heights together! #Innovation #YearInReview #SpaceExploration #SpacePropulsion #ElectricPropulsion #WaterPropulsion #GreenPropulsion #SpaceTechnology #UKSpace

A year of firsts for Electric Propulsion in space. The famous AIAA's 2023 review is out, and highlights our recent achievement of operating our Hall-effect Thruster (#AQUAHET) fully on the by-products of water electrolysis as a propellant. Find more here: https://lnkd.in/epnp8HPS Make sure you follow us and you will hear more about this development, while we also embark on new horizons in our HQs at the Westcott Venture Park, as part of the Westcott Space Cluster. Thanks also to our collaborators Imperial College London and Aliena Pte Ltd. #waterpropulsion #electricpropulsion #greenpropulsion #spacepropulsion #spacetechnology #ukspace #spaceexploration

We are immensely grateful to have received the support of the UK Space Agency under the Space Clusters Infrastructure Fund (SCIF), with the support of the Westcott Space Cluster, for the development of: 🚀 Our own state-of-the-art sustainable propulsion manufacturing and testing facility. 🏭 >60,000 sq. ft of clean rooms, MAIT workshops, shared training facilities, a lecture theatre... and high-end offices and state-of-the-art units, available to rent. This is what will constitute the Westcott Space Hub, the destination for visitors, and a vital service for those based in the Westcott Venture Park. One of the most groundbreaking and innovative places in the UK to grow and scale-up your Space ambitions. Be quick, spaces are being filled in quick. As the CEO of the UK Space Agency, Paul Bate, commented: "Westcott is a hotbed of innovation in areas such as space propulsion, and it’s exciting to see the space cluster there continue to grow". Our COO, Emily Dingle, said: "We are thrilled to see the overwhelming support from all the members of the Westcott Space Cluster and academia across the UK. This support demonstrates the recognition of the national importance of our endeavours - the opportunity for Westcott to be an internationally recognised Space Cluster is here!". Our CEO, Alberto Garbayo, said: "This is a clear stepping stone for URA to help make Space more sustainable, not only by eliminating debris, but also on Earth, by replacing toxic and energy-demanding propellants with sustainable, low energy-demanding, readily-available and/or naturally-occurring propellants". #spacetechnology #spaceinfrastructure #ukspace #waterpropulsion #spacepropulsion #electricpropulsion #greenpropulsion Thanks to all involved. Thanks to our supporters. Thanks to our partners. Buckinghamshire Local Enterprise Partnership Westcott Space Cluster Westcott Venture Park Skyports Infrastructure Plastron UK
