Global Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) Market 2024-2030

Last Updated:  Apr 25, 2025 | Study Period: 2024-2030

SOLAR ELECTRIC PROPULSION (SEP) MARKET 

 

INTRODUCTION

A propulsion system known as solar electric propulsion (SEP) uses electricity produced by solar panels to accelerate charged particles, often ions, to produce thrust.

 

For space missions requiring a low-thrust, high-efficiency propulsion system, such as deep space exploration, satellite station-keeping, and cargo delivery, SEP is seen as a very promising technology.

 

The electrical power produced by solar panels is often employed by SEP systems to ionise fuel and accelerate the resultant ions through an electric field to produce propulsion.

 

SEP has a number of benefits over conventional chemical propulsion systems, including higher specific impulse (which translates to more effective propellant consumption), a longer operational lifetime, and the capacity to carry out accurate manoeuvres for an extended period of time.

Moreover, NASA is working on its own solar-powered propulsion system. Aerojet Rocketdyne and NASA's Glenn Research Center and Jet Propulsion Lab are collaborating on the project.

 

A robotic probe that will collect a fragment of a nearby asteroid and set it in orbit around the Moon will be used by NASA to test out the solar electric propulsion system. 

 

In order to create a cutting-edge Solar Electric Propulsion (SEP) system for next deep-space missions, NASA has spent in Aerojet Rocketdyne  The propulsion mechanism might be applied to robotic asteroid expeditions as well as other NASA Journey to Mars-related projects.

 

Aerojet Rocketdyne is in charge of developing, delivering, and testing a SEP product as per the terms of the contractThe research, certification, and flight of electric propulsion systems that enable civil, defence, and commercial missions for multiple customers are led by Aerojet Rocketdyne, which holds the world record.

 

To date, more than 250 spacecraft have been equipped with their more than 600 electric propulsion thrusters SEP is cited by Aerojet as a facilitator for the Exploration Gateway Platform, a viable strategy in NASA's Human Space program.
