Game-Changing Innovation for European Launch Solutions

Funds up to three teams, EUR 5-7 million each, to push mid-maturity launcher propulsion breakthroughs like staged combustion, hybrid, aerospike or autophage engines toward flight readiness.

Applicants pick one of the four propulsion areas and can target low, medium or high thrust engines, explaining how the engineering fits their technical roadmap and commercial plans, and how it performs on measures like specific impulse and thrust-to-weight ratio. A dedicated section must also show the technology's supply chain is free of non-EU export restrictions such as ITAR. From an indicative
