Key highlights

spaceware™ is a family of high-thrust and flexible electric propulsion systems suited for all mission needs for satellites ranging from 5 kg to 1.000 kg. Whether you are looking to deploy a constellation, change the altitude or inclination of your spacecrafts, perform a RAAN phasing, maintain your orbit or avoid collisions, spaceware™ will meet your needs.

The Exotrail spaceware™ - Micro XL Hall-effect thruster (HET) is a 150W-class system offering high thrust and significant maneuver capabilities for microsats. The cluster configuration of the Micro Cluster² XL provides flexibility to meet higher thrust and lifetime mission demands. It also opens up the door to AOCS capabilities and allows optimal performance in all the throttling scales.

It uses Xenon propellant and has a maximum total impulse of 115 kNs.

Key features

  • Space-proven system with performance demonstrated in orbit
  • Reaches optimal orbit faster than other electric propulsion technologies
  • Delivers high specific impulse of electric propulsion while maintaining very high thrust
  • Adaptable to specific mission profiles with a unique, modular design.
  • Configurable total impulse which can be modified using a different tank form factor
