About

The Pale Blue PBR-30 is a fully integrated propulsion system built upon flight-proven resistojet thruster technology. It is designed in a compact 2U form factor, making it suitable for small satellite applications. The system delivers exceptional performance, providing up to 12 mN of thrust at 35W, with an optional throttling capability that allows it to operate down to 3 mN at just 10W. A key feature is its delivery pre-filled and non-pressurized during launch, which ensures a non-hazardous payload status and eliminates the need for complex propellant handling procedures at the launch site. This design simplifies integration and reduces safety concerns for satellite operators.
