Cold Gas Propulsion Module (1U CubeSat)
1U CubeSat cold gas thruster module, 1-13 mN, >420 Ns impulse, plug-and-play, <7 W.
Description
The Cold Gas Propulsion Module is a low-power, simple plug-and-play propulsion system designed for 1U CubeSats. It provides straightforward orbital maneuvering capability with minimal system complexity, operating with a single cold gas thruster delivering 1-13 mN of thrust and over 420 Ns of total impulse. The module accepts 10-32 VDC supply and consumes less than 7 W during continuous firing. Custom configurations are available including additional propellant volume and heater options. Availability is targeted for Q4 2025 with a 6-month lead time, and an in-orbit demonstration is planned for 2026.
