Orbion offers the only electric propulsion system that can increase thrust by 100x on demand. High thrust when you need agility. High fuel efficiency for routine maneuvers.
Learn about ‘El Matador’Your small-satellite constellation has an important mission. Let Orbion’s Aurora propulsion system add value to your architecture:
Better data
Increase image quality by operating at lower orbit altitudes; improve GSD and NIIRS ratings to stay ahead of the competition. Better signal-to-noise for SAR missions.
Lower costs
Dramatically decrease launch costs by reducing propellant mass needed for on-orbit maneuvers.
Fewer launches
Extend satellite lifetime by using efficient drag compensation and reducing required replacement launches.
Rideshare-friendly
Hitch a low-cost ride to space, then use on-board propulsion to deliver your satellite to destination orbit.
Our propulsion system at-a-glance
The Orbion Aurora is a fully integrated Hall-effect propulsion system, including thruster, power processing unit, propellant management assembly, and electrical harnessing. The system is designed from the ground-up to be an affordable, reliable, mass-producible product. Aurora is a workhorse you can trust for your in-space maneuvers.
Orbion will work with your team to co-engineer a module configuration of the standard Aurora components to fit the available volume in your spacecraft.
Our AS9100D certified systems ensure the highest quality control—whether your application requires 1 or 1,000 units.
