Creatz3D Ceramics has recently shared about its ongoing collaboration with Aliena in supporting the development of the MUSIC plasma propulsion system. This collaboration is already contributing to key space initiatives, with ceramic components from Creatz3D Ceramics playing an active role in Aliena’s STRIDER mission since July 2023.
Creatz3D Ceramics provides high-quality ceramic 3D printing services using Stereolithography (SLA) technology.
Aliena is a space-tech company based in Singapour which provides advanced electric propulsion engines for small satellites, enabling them to fly closer to Earth for improved data collection.
This collaboration reflects a growing trend in space technology, where 3D printing is helping companies like Aliena create more efficient propulsion systems for satellites. Aliena’s system, which was onboard the smallest satellite ever to carry a Hall thruster, was featured in NASA’s State-of-the-Art of Small Spacecraft Technology. This innovative thruster is distinguished by its low power consumption, using just 20 watts, making it the most efficient commercial Hall thruster available. Creatz3D Ceramics’ expertise in 3D-printed ceramics plays a key role in meeting the tough demands of space, such as extreme temperatures and harsh environments. By working together, they are improving performance and cutting costs in space exploration while also addressing the specific needs of industries that require durable, high-quality materials.
Creatz3D Ceramics and Aliena are ready to continue pushing the boundaries of space propulsion through their joint efforts. With significant milestones already achieved, such as the involvement in the STRIDER mission and the upcoming ESA tests, the partnership is expected to deliver even more advancements in the field of satellite technology.
