Advancements in electric thrusters and sustainable propulsion technology initiatives to propel the market
The space propulsion market in Germany is advancing through advanced innovation driven by initiatives from the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and industry players like OHB SE and ArianeGroup. DLR is working on developing advanced electric propulsion systems such as ion and Hall-effect thrusters, focusing on increased efficiency for satellite and deep-space missions. ArianeGroup's progress on reusable rocket engines, particularly the Prometheus engine, reflects Germany's commitment to cost-effective and sustainable propulsion. Germany is heavily involved in European collaborations like the Horizon Europe program, which emphasizes green propulsion technologies. In 2023, the successful testing of the Helicon Plasma Thruster (HPT) was done, which will further support the small satellite constellations.

Germany’s expertise in space propulsion has gained international recognition and opportunities for partnerships within the country. Besides, green propulsion technologies are given a cutting-edge showcase with work being done at the Lampoldshausen facility of the German Aerospace Center (DLR) using hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and nitrous oxide (N2O) as eco-friendly propellants. In tandem with this, Germany aims to promote commercial green propulsion systems applicable in multiple spaceflight missions. The market for satellite propulsion in Germany is set to almost double by 2030, propelled by demand for medium and nano satellites-suggesting the country's commitment to increase proficiency in space. This development is further propped by Germany's strategic approach in pursuing the rapid digitalization and commercialization of space sectors with innovative and sustainable technologies to gain global competitiveness.
