Genergo

Genergo is an Italian deep-tech company headquartered in Como, Italy, focused on developing a new class of space propulsion technology that eliminates the need for propellant entirely. By converting electrical energy directly into thrust without expelling reaction mass, Genergo's systems offer a fundamentally different approach to spacecraft mobility.

The company's proprietary propulsion system has demonstrated significant flight heritage, accumulating more than 1,300 hours of on-orbit operational time across three separate missions launched between 2022 and 2023 aboard SpaceX Transporter rideshare flights. These missions validated the technology under real space conditions and achieved Technology Readiness Level 7/8 — confirmed by independent analysis of in-flight data.

Genergo's systems require only modest power inputs and contain no pressurised components or hazardous materials, making them safe and straightforward to integrate into a wide range of spacecraft. The elimination of propellant also removes contamination risks during operations and simplifies end-of-life deorbiting.

The company's mission is to make mobility in space safer, more sustainable, and reusable — addressing both the operational needs of satellite operators for station-keeping and orbital maneuvering, and the growing regulatory pressure on responsible deorbiting of end-of-life satellites.
