Propulsion systems for maneuvers in space

Aurora Propulsion Technologies provides agile, fast, and simple propulsion systems for various maneuvers in space. These systems are plug-and-play, ITAR-free, and designed for zero-debris compliance, making them suitable for LEO architectures. The product line includes solutions for satellite integrators, operators, and defense applications. For integrators, the modules are designed to fit standard satellite sizes from the smallest CubeSats to 300kg smallsats, aiming to save volume and maximize payload. For operators, the systems offer zero-prep collision avoidance and meet FCC/ESA deorbiting requirements, utilizing unpressurized water for hazmat-free logistics. For defense, the ITAR-free and localized production ensures a sovereign space supply chain. The propulsion systems are intended for extended mission lifespan, collision avoidance, and regulatory-compliant deorbiting, which in turn increases profitability. Aurora has a significant flight heritage, with 14 ARM thrusters and 3 Plasma Brake tethers already in orbit, and 11 ARM thrusters and 2 Plasma Brake tethers scheduled for launch. Notable missions include AuroraSat-1 (hosting a 6-thruster ARM-A attitude control system and two Plasma Brake prototypes), Foresail-1, Strider (featuring MUSIC Hall Effect Thruster by Aliena and four Aurora resistojet thrusters), EstCube-2, Wisdom (with 4 Aurora ARM-C thrusters and an Aurora Plasma Brake), SpeQtral-1 (with an Aurora Plasma Brake), and JinjuSat-2 (propelled by Aurora’s 0.6U ARM-O system). Aurora also delivers multiple 1U ARM-O dual thruster systems to customers.
