Electric Propulsion Club
Electric Propulsion Club (EPC) is an independent University of Alabama in Huntsville undergraduate student research organization working in electric propulsion and plasma physics. Its STARGATE team developed an experimental gridded ion thruster, presented the work at the International Astronautical Congress, pursued patent protection, and earned first place at the 2025 AIAA Region II Student Conference after low-pressure testing; no flight, orbital, patent-grant, or operational-spacecraft claim is made.
