Pale Blue, a spin-out from the University of Tokyo, has achieved a significant milestone with the successful in-orbit test of its innovative water-based propulsion system aboard Sony's EYE satellite. This system, which employs a resistojet mechanism for maneuvering satellites using water, promises a safe, affordable alternative to conventional propulsion technologies. With plans to further develop this technology into a hybrid system combining jet and ion thrust capabilities, Pale Blue is paving the way for future advancements in satellite propulsion.
