  • | Application focus: Power supplies for electric space propulsion research |
15 August 2026

The development of new electric propulsion systems is opening exciting possibilities for future orbital transportation.

One of our customers, a french start-up working on advanced electric propulsion technologies, selected Technix power supplies to support the testing of their prototypes. Their approach combines concepts already used in fields such as particle accelerators and ion sources to explore innovative propulsion solutions for space applications.

To support their test campaigns, Technix supplied:
• 2 × 1kV – 2kW DC power supplies
• 2 × 5kV – 40kW DC power supplies

A key feature of these units is their floating high-voltage outputs, providing maximum flexibility during testing:
• Easy polarity reversal
• Isolated current return paths
• Simplified integration of measurement equipment
• Support for a wide range of experimental configurations

In research and development environments, flexibility is often just as important as performance.

Our ability to deliver these systems within a short timeframe, combined with our responsiveness throughout the project, played a key role in supporting the customer’s development program.

Another example of how high-voltage power supplies contribute to the technologies shaping tomorrow’s space industry.
