Accion Systems is well-placed to provide a solution to this growing challenge, and co-founder and CTO Natalya Bailey will join us at TC Sessions: Space in December to talk about the evolving market of in-space propulsion. > We’ve followed the growth of Accion for years, and back in 2016 it seemed like an idea ahead of its time: developing a super-efficient, super-compact ion thruster that could improve the maneuverability and effective lifespan of small satellites. Now, of course, it seems like an extremely valuable position to be in: the middle of a small satellite boom with five years of development behind them.
