Talk:ThrustMe

Add Flight Missions section

 * What I think should be changed (include citations):Add a Flight Mission section


 * Why it should be changed:This section would show the flight heritage of the product. It could have the same format as Busek or NanoAvionics, to show the satellites that implement the propulsion system of a ThrustMe.

XiaoXiang 1-08 is a 6U cubesat developed by SpaceTy. It carries the first iodine-propelled satellite in orbit (I2T5). +

BeiHangKongshi-1 is a 12U cubesat developed by SpaceTy. The satellite carries a ThrustMe's NPT30-I2-1U, the first iodine electric propulsion system sent into space. The cubesat has been launch on board the CZ-6 Long March 6 on the 6th of November 2020. The propulsion system will demonstrate orbit control maneuvering with the first iodine gridded ion thruster ever tested in space.

Hisea-1 is a 180 kg SAR minisatellite, the first generation of light, small SAR satellites developed by SpaceTy carrying a NPT30-I2-1U for orbit maintenance, collision avoidance, and end-of-life disposal. It was launched on board a Long March 8 (LZ-8) rocket on the 22nd of December 2020. Antoinebore (talk) 15:37, 30 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Specific text to be added or removed: In 2021, Spacety and ThrustMe achieved the first in-orbit demonstration of an electric propulsion system powered by iodine. The result of this in-orbit demonstration has been published in Nature and have demonstrated a cumulative altitude change above 3 km.
 * Reason for the change: Results have recently been published in Nature, a peer-reviewed research scientific journal.
 * References supporting change:
