Strategic Objectives
• Master the physics of electrospray and pulsed plasma propulsion.
• Optimize thrust-to-weight ratios for mission-critical maneuvers.
• Navigate the thermal and power constraints of miniaturized systems.
• Implement cutting-edge cold gas and chemical micro-thruster designs.
The Core Challenge
Traditional propulsion systems are too bulky and inefficient for the rapidly growing fleet of CubeSats and SmallSats requiring precise station-keeping.
