About
The Pale Blue PBR-50 is a water vapor propulsion system housed in a compact Φ250 x 300 mm form factor. This system is fully integrated, encompassing the thruster head, fluidics, electronics, and a propellant tank. Its design allows for clustering, making it adaptable to a wide range of spacecraft sizes and mission requirements. A key feature of the PBR-50 is its use of water as propellant, eliminating the need for high-pressure storage, which simplifies handling and safety protocols. To further streamline the integration process for satellite manufacturers, the propellant is preloaded into the tank at the factory, removing the need for complex on-site fueling operations.
