What it does
"Alpha Impulsion is a pioneering aerospace company focused on space propulsion technologies. With a mission to revolutionize the industry, Alpha Impulsion is developing a micro-launcher capable of carrying payloads up to 500 kg in Low Earth Orbit. Their innovative approach involves hybrid autophage propulsion, where the rocket's structure is composed of fuel that is gradually consumed during flight, leading to a continuous reduction in the rocket's length and mass. By presenting groundbreaking results at industry conferences, Alpha Impulsion has demonstrated the potential for a significantly reduced inert mass, resulting in a remarkable Payload to Total Mass ratio. This achievement not only enhances performance but also contributes to a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly launcher, positioning Alpha Impulsion as a key player in advancing space exploration."
