Dassault selects Arkadia Space’s “green” ARIEL 250N propulsion for VORTEX-D reusable spaceplane demonstrator
Dassault has chosen Spain’s Arkadia Space to supply the propulsion system for its VORTEX-D reusable spaceplane demonstrator. Arkadia’s ARIEL 250 N thrusters use hydrogen peroxide as a “green” propellant, positioned to improve safety and efficiency for orbital missions, as VORTEX-D work continues alongside broader FCAS cooperation scrutiny.
