Summary
SatDrive is based on an entirely new paradigm: use of safe, abundantly available propellants and simplified, direct ignition system, increasing throttability. Compared to other technologies, SatDrive module is the key enabler for (ESAs) science missions to benefit society. It also supports adoption of civil space systems, such as: worldwide internet connectivity (bridging the digital divide) and earth observation for monitoring climate change and methane emissions.
SatDrive is simplifying operations through its bi-propellant thruster for small satellites between 100-500 kg. This proposal is centred on the developments needed to bring this product to market.
Dawn’s safe, reliable and affordable propulsion technology was first developed for the nanosatellite industry. An industry that is rapidly growing adverse to use Hydrazine. Quickly gaining international traction, we are expanding this technology to the midsized satellite market with a larger thruster and supporting system.
