ABOUT US
Dr. Troy Howe, PhD (CEO) started Howe Industries in 2015, with the mission to introduce technologies with both space and terrestrial applications. These technologies would derive from their expertise in nuclear technologies, thermal systems, and space propulsion. Reflecting the company’s culture of innovation and excellence, Howe Industries has been the recipient of multiple grants from federal agencies, including NASA (and NASA NIAC), DARPA and NSF.
Howe Industries developed the solid-state, Advanced Thermoelectric Generator (ATEG), new fuel for nuclear thermal propulsion, and the even more high-tech nuclear Pulsed Plasma Rocket. Other projects range from debris de-orbiting to a rover for the surface of Mercury powered and cooled using ATEG.
ThermaSat was formed because of commercial interest in the ThermaSat propulsion system being developed under the Phase I and Phase II SBIR NSF award. ThermaSat develops in-space mobility and In-Orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Maintenance (ISAM) solutions with a focus on reusability and “green” propellant.
