The Plasma Physics Division of the European Physical Society is happy to announce that the 2022 EPS Plasma Physics Innovation Prize is awarded to:
"for technological, industrial or societal applications of
research in plasma physics. They successfully pioneered the use of
iodine-fuelled plasma-based electric propulsion systems for satellites.
Iodine is a transformative alternative propellant to xenon, has been
recently demonstrated in orbit, and has the potential to ensure the
economic and environmental sustainability of the space industry."
