Sateliti alimentați cu apă? Propulsorul revoluționar care schimbă zborul spațial
In January 2023, Momentus Space’s Vigoride-5 raised its orbit by 3 km using only water propulsion, completing 35 thruster burns. HawkEye 360 and Capella Space first used commercial water propulsion in 2018. By 2024, water thrusters were operational on multiple satellite fleets. ArianeGroup plans an in-orbit demo of a dual-mode water engine by fall 2026.
