Raising the Bar for Electric Propulsion Studies with EP3

Meet EP3, Aerospace's new vacuum chamber and testing facility that advances the capabilities needed for the current and upcoming generations of higher-powered thrusters.

EP3 places Aerospace in the vanguard of propulsion research, making its Electric Propulsion Lab the most advanced facility for the study of electric propulsion thrusters in the world. With its increased capacity and size, and the new antechamber for EMI work, EP3 offers the unprecedented ability to test larger, more capable electric thrusters for use in space, providing critical end-to-end testing of thrust, exhaust velocity and impulse, as well as advanced insight into plume characterization and risk mitigation.
