About
Pale Blue PBR-10 is a miniaturized water vapor propulsion system in a 0.5U form factor. It is a fully integrated system incorporating the thruster head, fluidics, electronics, and propellant tank, and is clusterable to scale to a wide range of spacecraft sizes. The PBR-10 uses water as propellant — no high-pressure storage is required — and the propellant is preloaded at the factory, eliminating the need for satellite integrators to perform complex fueling work after integration.
