ESA Backs UK’s Pulsar Fusion as Demand Grows for Next-Gen Space Propulsion

A major step forward for the UK’s space ambitions is underway as Bletchley-based Pulsar Fusion secures an 18-month European Space Agency contract to accelerate work on its Hall-Effect Thruster. The plasma-based propulsion system, which ionises gas to drive spacecraft, is becoming a key technology for future space missions.

The ESA award, part-funded by the UK Space Agency, brings Pulsar into Europe’s in-orbit mobility supply chain at a time when sovereignty over propulsion capabilities is becoming increasingly important. It also strengthens the UK’s growing influence in Europe’s space propulsion sector.
