About
From constellation deployment and repositioning to deorbiting, collision avoidance, and station keeping, the GO-2 electric satellite propulsion system is equipped to handle every aspect of the mission. It is built to be the simplest, most efficient and cost-effective propulsion system, enabling mobility throughout the entire mission lifetime.
Efficient: the total impulse provided by the GO-2 system enables satellite mobility for long durations, ensuring satellite operators get full value out of their payload.
Reliable: each GO-2 system contains 40 individual thrusters, each with its own propellant tank and independent thrust control, offering an unprecedented level of redundancy and precision.
Modular: as a modular propulsion unit at approximately 1U in size, GO-2 can support a wide range of spacecraft from 6U and up.
Key features include a plug and play design that removes complexities of system integration; a solid metallic propellant that ensures zero leakage, with no moving parts, chemicals or pressurization; engineered high redundancy to maximize operational uptime and reliability; and 40 individually controlled thrusters enabling precise maneuvering for various mission requirements. GO-2 builds on three generations of space-proven technology, with core technology in orbit since 2018, support of commercial customer missions in space since 2023, the first-ever in-space test of a nanosatellite propulsion system and the world’s first nanosatellite collision avoidance maneuver.
