Mission statement

Presently, the company’s main objective is to bring the VASIMR^® engine to full operational deployment in space, a goal planned for 2014. The engine could be initially operated in a number of developing market applications in Earth orbit, including drag compensation of orbiting space stations and satellite delivery, repositioning and general servicing. Later, the VASIMR^® is expected to provide primary propulsion for cargo and supply missions to the Moon and ultimately ready access to space resources, including asteroids and comets and to support robotic and human missions to Mars and beyond.
