California Tax Credits Back Paramount’s Clueless Series and Ascent Amid Industry Turbulence

The California Film Commission awarded nearly $38M in Golden State tax incentives to Paramount's Clueless series and Viola Davis' Ascent, as part of a round that granted about $145.5M to nine TV projects; collectively the nine shows are expected to spend $608M in California, create thousands of cast/crew jobs, and inject significant local spending, with Clueless receiving about $16.3M and Ascent about $21M. Production for the pair is slated for 2027, even as Paramount faces an antitrust suit over its Ellison–WBD merger.

MIT's ASCENT fuel could fuse chemical and electric propulsion in space

MIT researchers propose ASCENT, a greener, non-toxic propellant that could power both chemical and electrospray propulsion in a single cubesat package; ground tests show comparable thrust to dedicated thrusters, and NASA-backed Green Propulsion Dual Mode will test the system in space no earlier than November to demonstrate dual‑mode capability for smaller, cheaper satellites.

Benchmark Receives AFRL Award for ASCENT Thruster Development

Benchmark Space Systems has been awarded a $2.81 million contract by the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to develop and test thrusters using Advanced Spacecraft Energetic Non-Toxic (ASCENT) fuel. The contract aims to optimize the thrusters for size, weight, and longevity, with the development of a 22 Newton thruster for hot-fire demonstrations and a preliminary design of a 100 Newton thruster assembly. Benchmark is also establishing an Advanced Propellants Group to explore nontoxic chemical, electric, and hybrid propulsion systems, potentially expanding the usage of ASCENT and other green propellants in the space industry.

ASCENT Takes Flight in Commercial Markets

Rubicon Space Systems, a division of Plasma Processes LLC, is working to encourage the adoption of ASCENT, a non-toxic propellant developed by the Air Force Research Laboratory. The company has achieved flight heritage on its 0.1N thruster and is close to completing the first low-rate production run. Rubicon has orders for one-newton and five-newton thrusters with government customers for deliveries beginning in the first quarter of 2024. The company is also developing larger propulsion systems and a new 110-newton thruster.
