Turn-key propulsion systems for 30 kg to 500+ kg satellites. Through standardized interfaces and flexible form factors, we deliver purpose-built systems — fast. All systems include thrusters, tanks, valves, instruments, and control electronics. We’re a full-service partner, working with you wherever you need us, from initial design to on-orbit commissioning and operations.
The B20 thruster assembly includes the thruster body, valves, and control electronics. The thruster body is additively manufactured as a single structure using Inconel and includes the injector, combustion chamber, and nozzle. Isolation valves are included upstream of the firing valves for added redundancy. Health monitoring instrumentation includes an integrated and isolated thermocouple and chamber pressure sensor. With standard data and power interfaces, thrusters are easy to command and operate. The B20 is also operable under ambient conditions to enable fast turnaround ground testing.

Available in various form factors, the B1 thruster is currently utilized as the central thruster in Dawn’s CubeDrive propulsion modules and as a modular building block within Dawn's turn-key SatDrive systems. They can be positioned throughout the spacecraft, in clusters, and at various cant-angles. The B1’s assembly includes the thruster body, valves, and control electronics. Thruster bodies are additively manufactured as a single structure using Inconel 718 and include the injector, combustion chamber, and nozzle. Health monitoring instrumentation includes an integrated and isolated thermocouple and chamber pressure sensor. With standard data and power interfaces, thrusters are easy to command and operate.
