These propulsion systems are based on passively fed, indium based liquid metal FEEP technology that was developed at AIT and later FOTEC, and in which thrust is generated through electrostatic acceleration of ions extracted from a liquid propellant.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"flex flex-col justify-center items-center w-full image-block px-8\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" class=\"w-full object-cover mx-auto max-w-sm\" src=\"http:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/9Dy3cA1hSmmxMtmAwqak_Tech-Focus-Report-2-1-Page.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"p-3 bg-gray-300 bg-opacity-50 italic mx-auto max-w-sm\">The ENPULSION MICRO R\u00b3 fully integrated propulsion system<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>FEEP Technology Principles<\/h3>\n<p>FEEP propulsion generates thrust by electrostatic acceleration of metal ions. Ionization is achieved from a liquid propellant applying high electrostatic fields between the metal propellant and an extractor electrode. In the ENPULSION FEEP systems, the metal indium, which is solid at room temperature during assembly, integration, and testing as well as during launch, is liquified once in space and used as metal propellant. This brings many advantages to the technology. FEEP has the highest total impulse per volume and per wet mass compared to other electric propulsion technologies, due to the very high density of indium, when compared to propellants like argon, krypton, xenon, or iodine \u2013 and it makes FEEP systems very compact.<\/p>\n<p>Since propellant liquification is only done once in space and for ground vacuum testing, the FEEP system is fully solid and inert during ground handling, integration, and launch. Emitted propellant is replaced in a fully passive manner by capillary forces which maintain propellant supply from the propellant reservoir up to the emitter tips, relying solely on surface tension of the propellant itself. FEEP thrusters therefore do not require any external forces like pressurization or pumps. Even at end of mission, the system does not need to be passified, as it is self passivating. <\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_3b1090471fff907526ba862b7a31bdbc_6a6904e295c2b;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_3b1090471fff907526ba862b7a31bdbc_6a6904e295c2b = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/digital-issue-tech-focus-report', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1777400494768-0-6a6904e295c2c').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1777400494768-0-6a6904e295c2c'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<figure class=\"flex flex-col justify-center items-center w-full image-block px-8\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" class=\"w-full object-cover mx-auto\" src=\"http:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/t6CGY8VqSRCiGIDDULT5_Tech-Focus-Report-3-1-Page.jpg\"><figcaption class=\"p-3 bg-gray-300 bg-opacity-50 italic mx-auto w-full\">ENPULSION crown emitters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For assembly, integration, testing, and launch this comes with additional advantages.
