About us
Magdrive is developing the next generation of spacecraft propulsion for satellites today, deep space and beyond tomorrow. With high thrust and high efficiency at low mass, the Magdrive’s magnitude improvement in manoeuvrability enables entirely new missions and business models, including - high cadence avoidance manoeuvres in congested Low-Earth Orbit. - repeated rendezvous and close-proximity operations for satellite servicing and orbital manufacturing. - stochastic movement to make defense satellites untraceable.

A great start to the new year for Magdrive and our inner children, our brand new and huge vaccum chamber has arrived! Thanks to the UK Space Agency and the Space Cluster Infrastructure Funding that's enabling Magdrive to build a dedicated space qualification, testing and manufacturing facility for propulsion, and startup friends in the space industry.

Merry Christmas everyone - or should we say "Maggy Christmas ... drive". Our simulation capabilities have taken a huge leap forward this year and our physicists have had fun making "the most Christmasy simulation possible". Here we have a cylinder of plasma expanding into vacuum, constrained by a solid funnel. While not a particularly useful simulation, it makes an excellent Christmas tree shape - and also helps validate how our code treats interactions between the plasma and solid obstacles.

I'm thrilled to announce that Magdrive has been chosen to take part in the US Space Force's Hyperspace Challenge accelerator to help inject cutting-edge mobility technology into US military space operations. Very exciting to be alongside Phase Four, Dawn Aerospace, TRL11, and HEO!
