United States Defense Innovation Unit visits VXB’s facility

We were delighted last week to host a delegation from the US DIU, along with the Australian Space Agency and the Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) to demonstrate our breakthroughs in Hall effect propulsion . We discussed how we can bolster the US and Australian capability for critical space propulsion technology at a time where mobility in orbit is more complex and contested than ever. 🛰️🌏

We shared the exciting advantages we’ve built into our Zephyr propulsion with Steve Butow the Director of Space Portfolio and Omar Pimentel, including our optimisation for Argon fuel, 100x cheaper than current alternatives. 💯

The US DIU has a mandate to accelerate commercial development of critical technologies for defence security with key allies, we’re excited to continue growing this international relationship to support a robust in-space capability both for the US and Australia.

Similar to commercial customers, Defence needs reliable access to space propulsion that is high performance, cost efficient and fast to produce, VXB Aerospace's #Zephyr system is the answer.
