Propelling the small satellite revolution
Spacecraft electric propulsion to power your mission. We didn’t invent a new type of thruster—instead, we designed an entirely new manufacturing process around the highest-performing most-trusted technology in the industry. No new-gadget risks. No gimmick propellants. Just proven performance.

Design your custom systemMeet the Orbion Team
Orbion’s engineers have built 100s of space hardware components that are flying all over the solar system.
Orbion’s expertiseYour 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.
Our automated assembly and acceptance testing ensures the highest quality control—whether your application requires 1 or 1,000 units.
