GO-2 Electric Propulsion System
A FEEP-based electric propulsion system for small satellites from 6U and up. The unit measures approximately 1U and houses 40 individually controlled thrusters, each with its own propellant tank, using a solid metallic propellant that requires no pressurization and has no moving parts. It covers the full range of in-orbit mobility including constellation deployment, repositioning, station keeping, collision avoidance and deorbiting, with a total thrust range of 5 to 400 micronewtons. Manufactured at scale at the Reloaded facility in Dresden.
