Eligos, Inc.

Eligos Inc is an American company dedicated to bringing to the satellite market the next generation of Electric Propulsion technologies.

We are applying Plasma Science coming from particle accelerators and thermonuclear fusion research to offer the best propulsion system for tomorrow satellites and spacecrafts.

ELIGOS holds an exclusive license on the E-IMPAcT technology a radical departure from legacy Electric Propulsion technologies by not requiring any electrode or neutralizer hence being fundamentally immune to short-circuiting or cathode failure. This technology has not been analyzed throughly analyzed in theory, an extensive design effort has allowed to produce a first engineering demonstrator. This first thruster demonstrator was successfully tested in Princeton University Electric Propulsion and Plasma Dynamic Laboratory.
