BOOSTER
Mission-configured, high-thrust green chemical propulsion system for satellites, enabling fast orbit transfer, collision avoidance, in-orbit servicing, and re-entry missions.
Description
BOOSTER is a green chemical propulsion system engineered for the rapidly growing space economy, designed to be reconfigured to a customer's specific mission profile rather than forcing missions to adapt to a fixed product. It uses a self-pressurizing green propellant combination of N2O and C2H6 (nitrous oxide and ethane), which is globally available, low cost, and qualified on all major launchers and rideshares. The system delivers high thrust, allowing satellites to reach their designated orbit in 1 to 3 days and perform maneuvers such as collision avoidance, in-orbit servicing, and re-entry with precision, while operating on low power (only 7W for 1N of thrust), leaving more satellite energy available for payload rather than propulsion. It provides precise impulse bits for fine station-keeping and attitude control, and operates without thermal limits, supporting continuous operation, cold starts, no cooldowns, and no performance degradation over its lifetime. Customers can select thrust level, degrees-of-freedom control, total impulse, and interfaces to tailor the system to LEO, GEO, constellation, in-orbit servicing, or re-entry capsule missions. It is built with only essential components for reliability and is designed for series production and rapid delivery, with configurations available within 72 hours of sharing mission requirements. BOOSTER's flight heritage includes the RED5 mission, which launched on SpaceX Transporter-13 in March 2025, becoming the first Polish propulsion system in orbit, developed from concept to flight in 15 months as a fully qualified, market-ready product.
