SmallSat Propulsion System EPSS
The minimum order quantity for this subsystem is 5 pieces.
NanoAvionics is the first aerospace company ready to offer a high-performance and environment-friendly CubeSat propulsion system, also suitable for small satellites. The system has the potential to unlock massive relaunch savings for satellite operators by an estimated 80%.
The propulsion system is modular in design, permitting integration with multiple present and future small satellite platforms on the market. The system is designed to be easily scaled to optimize for the client mission by adjusting the volume of the tank to accommodate different propellant quantity needs.
This system is fueled with ADN-based monopropellant, which has up to 6% higher specific impulse and 24% higher energy density as compared to the hydrazine employed systems, permitting significant levels of thrust to be stored within a relatively small storage volume. In addition, EPSS allows a high thrust-to-volume-to-weight ratio at a very low power budget requirement making it a very competitive and proven solution, even when compared with the electric (high Isp) propulsion.
As ADN-based propellant is “green”, its usage contributes to ESA’s and NASA’s clean space initiatives. Components such as valves, fuel tanks, propellant management system, and high-performance thrusters were designed, manufactured. and supplied by NanoAvionics’ partners – globally trusted aerospace companies.
The first in-orbit test was performed during LituanicaSAT-2 mission.
