Key highlights
Due to its compact size and non-toxic propellant, ECAPS's 100mN HPGP Thruster is especially suited to small satellites and CubeSats. Key features of this system include:
- Non-toxic propellant makes for easier and less costly integration on secondary or 'piggy-back' missions.
- Allows for more secondary or 'piggy-back' launch opportunities, especially missions where there is concern about the hazards of hydrazine and its risks to the primary payload.
- Allows for more capable missions than spacecraft without propulsion
- Allows for more agile mission profiles than electric propulsion. Spacecraft take significantly less time to execute maneuvers and orbit changes.
- Higher performance over hydrazine allows for more payload or longer mission duration.
- 'Fuel at the factory' – integrate in place
