SteamJet offers Thruster Systems
Founding Year: 2017
Location: Ashford, UK
Partner with SteamJet for High Thrust Systems
British startup SteamJet develops thruster systems for CubeSats. Steam Thruster, the startup’s electrothermal propulsion system, provides high-thrust, limits environmental impact upon usage, and lowers power consumption. Using low-pressure water as the main propellant, it is launch-safe and easy to integrate into any platform and serves both small satellites and CubeSats. The low voltage and the absence of ionized particles make the system ideal for both telecommunication and optical payload.
NPHSAT engineers Radio Frequency (RF) Antennas
Founding Year: 2019
Location: Vijayawada, India
Work with NHPSAT on Small Satellites
Indian startup NPHSAT develops small satellites and antennas for space missions. The startup designs and develops CanSats, CubeSats, and PocketQubes, among other small satellites. PDSAT-1, a miniaturized satellite developed by NPHSAT, carries messages into space on titanium plaques and orbits around the earth for a year. The startup also assists companies in the design and development of RF antennas, providing miniaturized off-the-shelf antennas as well as custom antenna integration services.
Orbion Space Technology develops Propulsion Systems
Founding Year: 2016
Location: Houghton, US
Reach out to build Hall-effect Thrusters
US-based startup Orbion Space Technology engineers propulsion systems for small satellites. The solution offers high-performance Hall-effect propulsion systems to small satellite missions. Aurora Hall-Effect Propulsion Systems is a fully integrated Hall-effect propulsion system, including thruster, power processing unit, propellant management assembly, and electrical harnessing. Its solution increases the image quality of satellites by operating at lower orbit altitudes as well as provides better signal-to-noise for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) missions. The design for the system is from the ground up to be an affordable, reliable, mass-producible product, reducing the cost of launching payloads.
