Bi
propellant
Simple, Versatile and Cost Effective bi-propellant hydrogen peroxide-kerosene propulsion systems to provide mobility to satellite platforms and microsatellite deployers providing up to 300 N of thrust.
KEY FEATURES
BENEFITS
Low cost
The system is specifically conceived to represent a trade off between costs and performances, targeting a substantial cost reduction respect to currently available MMH-N2O4 bi-propellant units.
Customizable
The system is customizable on thrust, expansion ratio and accommodation to fit specific customer needs.
Green
Hydrogen peroxide is a green non toxic oxidizer. Furthermore our system uses highly stabilized peroxide which, respect to MIL-Grade peroxide allows for reduced compatibility issues. Kerosene is also a green fuel.
Restartable
The system is restartable many times.
Throttleable
The system allows for a 1:5 throttleability.
Performance
Current delivered Specific Impulse of 285 s.
APPLICATIONS
Orbit raising, Orbit changes, Station-keeping, Decommissioning, KO motor.
ACHIEVEMENTS
The motor is under development since 2015. Several laboratory models have been developed and tested. A 300 N Engineering model is under development. Currently TRL 4.
DEVELOPMENT
An internal development is currently ongoing to target TRL 5.
