At Neutron Star Systems, we’re developing a first-of-its-kind SUPerconductor based Readiness Enhanced Magnetoplasmadynamic Electric Propulsion thruster – … that doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue, which is why we prefer to call it the SUPREME thruster.

The concept is relatively simple: take industrially mature High-temperature Superconductors and integrate them into widely researched, robust Applied-field Magnetoplasmadynamic thruster technology (AF-MPD for short). With this combination, we’re able to leverage the disruptive capabilities of both technologies to push human space activities further, faster.
