"Beyond Orbits: Innovating Space Mobility with SUPREME Technology"

关于我们

Neutron Star Systems is a leading market enabler for high power space missions. We develop disruptive and robust electric propulsion (EP) systems and subsystems based on the latest superconductor technology. This unique space electric propulsion technology is suitable for three main markets: ? Automated Transfer Vehicles for spacecraft servicing, ? Lunar and cis-lunar transportation, and; ? Mars cargo missions. NSS is developing the SUPREME thruster – an EP technology that offers a unique combination of features based on superior operational flexibility, scalability, cost-effectiveness, and thrust efficiency compared to the competition. In high-power applications, the SUPREME thruster outperforms status-quo EP technology, cutting costs by millions of euros through propellant mass savings. The SUPREME thruster is a magnetoplasmadynamic (MPD) thruster. Unlike other potential high-power EP systems, MPD thrusters have a 60-year research heritage and their technology is well understood. Furthermore, they are far simpler and more reliable than potential competitors such as VASIMR. MPD thrusters have been previously limited by the large mass of the electrical components. With the introduction of high temperature superconductors (HTS), these obstacles can be overcome. Through the SUPREME consortium, we have built a unique network of actors which bring together the technological knowledge and experience required to develop this technology. This consists of prestigious research institutions such as the Institute of Space Systems at the University of Stuttgart, a major industrial prime in Airbus Defence & Space, several expert SMEs, and the German Aerospace Center. This consortium is a fundamental part of our network of partners ready to support our technology development program starting with a 5 kW technology demonstrator to reach TRL 5 and subsequently to develop a 20 kW thruster prototype together with our primes and major stakeholders.

  • ???A Wake-Up Call from the European Commission on Space Weather – But Are We Ready????? The European Union has just reaffirmed the?urgent need to enhance space weather preparedness. With increasing solar activity, the risks posed by?solar storms—which can cripple satellites, disrupt power grids, and impact global infrastructure—are?more real than ever. At?Neutron Star Systems, we’ve been deeply engaged in tackling this challenge head-on. Our focus??Pioneering advanced propulsion and positioning technologies?that will revolutionize how we?monitor, predict, and mitigate?the impact of extreme solar events. ?? The EU’s latest publication underscores the limitations of today’s warning systems—just 30-60 minutes of advance notice?for potentially devastating solar storms. This is simply?not enough. The future demands?a bold, innovative approach?to space weather forecasting, leveraging cutting-edge?electric propulsion, AI-driven prediction models, and resilient satellite architectures. ???We stand at a pivotal moment in space weather preparedness.?The next generation of early warning systems must be capable of?pushing the boundaries beyond L1?and?multiplying today’s warning times by a factor of five or more. This is not just about improving science—it’s about?protecting global infrastructure, ensuring economic stability, and safeguarding the future of space exploration. ?? The conversation has started. But?real action is needed?to bring Europe to the forefront of space weather resilience. Stay tuned—exciting developments are on the horizon! ?? ?? Read the EU’s latest take on Space Weather Events: https://lnkd.in/d8-CdGun ?? Let’s talk! How do you see the role of?advanced space propulsion and AI?in tackling the challenges of space weather?

    Milestone reached: Commission adopts Decision selecting a space weather service ?? On 12 March 2025, the Commission adopted its Implementing Decision for the selection of a space weather service under the Space Weather Events (SWE) subcomponent of the EU Space Programme. This is the first of several milestones for the SWE subcomponent, an important initiative to keep assets in space and on Earth safe from adverse weather events in space. Space weather events are changes in the space environment caused by solar activity, including solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and variations in the solar wind and magnetic fields. Space weather risks in space include radiation storms that can harm satellite electronics and make them unusable, and geomagnetic storms that increase drag, affecting satellite paths and making it harder to manage and coordinate space traffic. Upcoming milestones for the SWE subcomponent include: ?? launch of a call for tender to procure EU space weather service? ?? contract award to the winning tenderer? ?? kick-off of provision of EU space weather service More information: https://lnkd.in/d8-CdGun The Implementation Decision: https://lnkd.in/dmVeufQE

    ?? Building Bridges in Space & Defense ?? In times of geopolitical uncertainty, transatlantic cooperation in space technology is more critical than ever. The DHS Mentor-Protégé Program plays a key role in ensuring that innovation, inclusion, and strategic partnerships remain at the heart of U.S. national security. On February 6th, Paul Mendoza, co-founder of Neutron Star Systems USA LLC and a proud member of the Pueblo Nation, attended the Space Systems Command briefing on space mobility, where the DHS Mentor-Protégé Program was introduced to industry leaders. Companies like L3Harris, Lockheed Martin, General Atomics, and Northrop Grumman joined the conversation, highlighting the importance of leveraging small business innovation for the future of space security. As discussions unfold at the Munich Security Conference #MSC2025, it is clear that technology is a bridge, not a barrier. Our SUPREME propulsion technology, backed by the European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) Space Portfolio Transition Program, has just successfully completed its Critical Design Review (CDR)—a milestone demonstrating that U.S.-EU partnerships can deliver cutting-edge capabilities for space dominance. https://lnkd.in/eirVd4ZU Now is the time to move forward together. Let’s collaborate, innovate, and secure the future of space mobility. #resilience #msc2025 #EUdefence #MSC European Commission European Defence Agency European Space Agency - ESA U.S. Department of Homeland Security U.S. Department of State United States Space Force Munich Security Conference

    Strategic Alliance for Autonomous and Agile Space Mobility Solutions Neutron Star Systems signs MoU with Scout Space to co-develop solutions for space situational awareness Munich, 30.04.2024 – Neutron Star Systems and Scout Space announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate on pioneering solutions aimed at advancing space situational awareness (SSA) and space domain awareness (SDA). Leveraging Scout’s cutting-edge software and algorithms alongside Neutron Star Systems’ innovative multimode hybrid chemical/electric propulsion systems, the partnership seeks to revolutionize the space domain. Drawing on their respective expertise, both companies have developed groundbreaking solutions for space mobility and SSA. Both companies have been awarded under the Orbital Prime program STTR grants for developing SSA solutions for the U.S. Space Force. Scout is a leading in-space SDA service provider focused on autonomous space intelligence and security. The company’s optical payload systems and algorithms enable satellites to see and understand their surroundings and act autonomously while on orbit. “Working with one of the leading companies in space situational awareness is a huge step for NSS. Combining the software and algorithms of Scout and the powerful SUPREME technology will be a big leap forward for SSA and SDA”, said NSS’ CEO, Manuel La Rosa Betancourt. NSS develops advanced electric space mobility solutions utilizing an Applied-Field Magnetoplasmadynamic (AF-MPD) propulsion system, integrated with HTS technologies known as SUPREME?. This technology maximizes payload capacity and facilitates multi-mode propulsion for both high specific impulse and high thrust maneuvers. Moreover, it enables optimized maneuverability, enabling a wide range of operations such as collision avoidance, proximity maneuvers, rendezvous operations, and orbit transfers for satellite servicing, making it the ideal thruster for SSA. The strategic partnership aims to address the challenges posed by space debris in the areas of SSA and SDA by integrating a set of disruptive technologies combining AI hardware and software.
