Scaling Electric
Propulsion.

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.
