Investigating large-diameter gridded ion thruster concepts targeting higher thrust regimes than current systems. Current work focuses on simulation-driven evaluation of subsystem performance.
Current electric propulsion is optimized for small-satellite station keeping. However, these architectures do not scale linearly for the high-mass orbital transfers required for deep-space logistics.
i-one-x explores gridded ion architectures through computational modeling of discharge chambers and acceleration grids to bridge this commercial thrust gap.
Modeling discharge chambers to improve propellant utilization and plasma density uniformity.
Evaluating multi-grid concepts with emphasis on erosion behavior and operational lifetime.
Studying neutralizer integration to maintain charge balance and reduce interaction effects.
Current efforts are focused on simulation-driven feasibility analysis.
i-one-x originated from collaborative excellence in competitive physics. We operate as an independent research unit focused on early-stage electric propulsion modeling.
Directing conceptual system architecture and computational modeling.
Overseeing corporate strategy and the roadmap to business registration.
We welcome dialogue with technical mentors and domain experts in the propulsion sector.
