The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is gearing up to demonstrate the use of an indigenously built electric propulsion system on a satellite later this year.
The system, featuring a 300 millinewton (mN) thruster, will be demonstrated on board a Technology Demonstration Satellite (TDS-01) that is expected to be launched in the second half of 2024, V. Narayanan, Director of Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC), the lead ISRO centre working on the technology, told The Hindu.
