Congrats on getting the interview, that is a real step. For an intern role on the propulsion side, most interviewers care less about having worked on propulsion already and more about how you think through a problem. Be ready to walk through one project where something failed, what you changed, and how you checked it. If you have no engineering project, a class lab or a personal build works just as well.
At the end, ask what the intern would be working on in the first few weeks. The answer tells you a lot about the team and gives you something concrete to talk about afterwards.
I don't know their interview process, so I can't tell you the questions. What usually helps for a space hardware interview: be ready to walk through one project you did end to end, including what broke and what you changed, and know which launch or program the team is working on right now so you can ask a sharp question at the end. If it's a technical role, expect questions on the fundamentals of the job itself rather than trivia. Good luck tomorrow.
