Spacecraft Propulsion Research
Research covering chemical, electric, and alternative propulsion concepts for future spacecraft systems.
ThrustLab AGH is a student science club at the Faculty of Space Technologies, AGH University of Krakow. The club brings together students interested in scientific activity and R&D in space engineering, with a strong focus on spacecraft propulsion, prototype projects, experimental testing, outreach, and participation in space-related events.
Research covering chemical, electric, and alternative propulsion concepts for future spacecraft systems.
Design, simulation, and manufacturing of propulsion components and other spacecraft hardware.
Experimental testing and performance evaluation of propulsion components and subsystems.
An experimental plasma spacecraft propulsion research demonstrator we are developing and testing that explores a concept which, in the long term, could potentially use nuclear fusion as an energy source.
A small airship built to showcase and explain the operating principle of electrohydrodynamic propulsion through a simple, visible, hands-on platform.
A ground-based static testing facility being developed to validate hybrid propulsion systems with thrust vector control, ECSP type thrusters, and other experimental propulsion solutions.
A lunar lander based on cold gas propulsion, designed to achieve three-axis control as a long-term target.
