In this episode of the NSV Podcast, we sit down with Lukas Werling, co-founder & CEO of InSpacePropulsion Technologies, or ISP Tech, a German startup building non-toxic chemical propulsion systems for satellites and spacecraft.
After more than a decade at DLR’s rocket engine test site in Lampoldshausen, Lukas spun out ISP Tech to commercialize advanced green propulsion technology. We discuss:
- The journey from research scientist to founder
- How to spin out of a major research institution
- Chemical vs. electric propulsion
- Why agility in orbit is becoming critical
- Europe’s funding environment for deep tech
ISP Tech is building the mobility layer of space, enabling satellites to move precisely, responsively, and safely in an increasingly crowded orbit.
