About
The IVO Quantum Drive is a propellantless (zero-fuel) electric propulsion technology developed by IVO (Infinity Voltaic Orbits) that the company states has been tested and validated to Low Earth Orbit environmental conditions. As a fuel-free thruster concept, it is positioned as a way to extend spacecraft operational lifetime by removing the propellant mass and resupply constraints of conventional chemical and electric propulsion systems. Detailed independent performance data (thrust, specific impulse, power draw) is not published on the company’s site.
