Representatives of the University of Oklahoma signed a memorandum of understanding at the Oklahoma Aerospace Forum on Tuesday with California-based Phase Four, Inc. to advance collaborative research involving space propulsion technologies.

Former NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine is making his first investment in a space company, backing the satellite propulsion company Phase Four’s latest fundraising round.

Phase Four, a leading provider of next-generation electric propulsion (EP) solutions for satellites, announced the planned commercialization of their monopropellant multimode capability.

Based on the NASA-designed and tested H71M Hall Effect Thruster, the two companies will manufacture a family of propulsion systems spanning a range of input power and propellants.

Phase Four, a leading provider of next generation electric propulsion (EP) solutions for satellites, proudly announces its distinguished Board of Advisors. Comprised of esteemed former government space leaders and industry visionaries, the Board will play a pivotal role in informing Phase Four’s strategic direction and advancing its mission of revolutionizing in-space propulsion technology.

Phase Four, a leading provider of next generation electric propulsion (EP) solutions for satellites, was awarded a $14.9M contract by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to deliver an “air-breathing” EP system to enable extended satellite operations in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO), at altitudes as low as 90-450km.

Leonid Capital Partners, a leading investment firm focused on high-growth technology companies working in the National Security industry, today announced a new $6.25MM financing for Phase Four, a revolutionary aerospace company developing advanced propulsion systems for the next generation of space vehicles.

The Space Rapid Capabilities Office co-sponsored this year’s Hyperspace Challenge to get more insight into commercial technologies that could enable dynamic space operations, such as satellite propulsion.

Propulsion company Phase Four received a funding increase from the Air Force Research Laboratory and its innovation arm AFWERX.

Former NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine told Breaking Defense that Phase Four has the potential to “disrupt the in-space propulsion market,” and its technology “is important for the country.”

Propulsion startup Phase Four is expanding its Maxwell plasma propulsion line by offering Max-V, an iodine-fueled engine.

Bridenstine brings a wealth of industry experience and a commitment to space sustainability

Former NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine joined the board of directors of spacecraft propulsion startup Phase Four, the company told CNBC.

Phase Four, the creator of the radio-frequency thruster (RF Thruster) for satellite propulsion, announced today that it has signed a memorandum of understanding with Impulse Space, a Space 2.0 pioneer providing agile, economical last-mile space payload delivery capabilities.

For most of the last decade, the U.S. relied almost entirely on Russia for rocket engines and crewed launches into space.

Phase Four expands its leadership team to support the company’s rapid growth in both the commercial and government markets.

Phase Four won a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency contract to demonstrate the California startup’s radio frequency thruster technology with a new propellant

The Company will adapt its versatile radio-frequency thruster to operate on novel, low cost propellants.

Propulsion startup Phase Four has signed a memorandum of understanding with satellite refueling startup Orbit Fab aimed at preparing future Phase Four Maxwell engines for on-orbit refueling.

2021 has been by far the most significant year in the history of Phase Four
