Abstract

In November 2025, another 4 of Aurora’s Resistojet Thrusters and a Plasma Brake were launched into orbit as a part of the WISDOM mission which received funding from ESA NAVISP programme. This paper presents the results received from orbit thus far and outlines the plan for upcoming tests, including the Plasma Brake deployment planned for later this year as well as the results expected from other missions demonstrating and using Aurora’s technology.
