Four Propulsion System Families

From monopropellant thrusters for cubesats to bipropellant systems for GEO transfer missions — engineered to specification, not to catalogue.

Chemical Thrusters

0.5 N – 500 N thrust range

Monopropellant and bipropellant thruster systems for attitude control, orbit maintenance, and transfer manoeuvres.

Electric Propulsion

Isp: 800 – 3,200 s

Hall-effect and gridded-ion thrusters for high-efficiency orbit raising, station-keeping, and deep-space applications.

View Specifications →

Cold Gas RCS

0.01 N – 5 N, N₂ / GN₂

Reaction control system modules using inert cold gas for precision attitude manoeuvring on small satellites and cubesat platforms.

View Specifications →

Propellant Management

0.5 – 50 kg propellant capacity

Integrated propellant management units including titanium tanks, latch valves, pressure regulators, and structural interfaces.
