GO-2
GO-2 is a FEEP-based (Field Emission Electric Propulsion) modular electric propulsion unit for satellites from 6U and larger. The system contains 40 individually controlled thrusters, each with its own propellant tank and independent thrust control, providing a total thrust range of 5 µN to 400 µN and power draw of 7–40 W. Its solid metallic propellant eliminates moving parts, pressurised gas and chemicals, making integration straightforward. GO-2 supports constellation deployment, orbital repositioning, station keeping, collision avoidance and deorbiting throughout the full satellite mission lifetime.
