Listen "Riccardo Albertoni - Electric Propulsion for Smallsats - Cold Star Project S02E06"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Riccardo Albertoni, a member of the Airbus team in charge of developing electric propulsion systems including the one used on the OneWeb constellation, is our guest on the Cold Star Project.
His team was the 2017 & 2019 Winner of the Airbus Defence and Space Award for Excellence, and he lectures on electric propulsion at the Airbus Space Academy.
Dr. Albertoni explains how electric propulsion for satellites works, as well as its role in the market.
While electric propulsion has several advantages, it is not a fit for every type of mission. He explains to host Jason Kanigan that there will continue to be room for conventional combustion propulsion systems.
Dr. Albertoni concludes by sharing his views on what new developments are upcoming in the electric propulsion field.
Cold Star Tech is on a mission to bring automotive-style continuous manufacturing process improvements to smallsat and cubesat commercial operations. In doing so, costs will be lowered; profits will be increased; and most importantly, smallsat mission success rates will be raised.
