Key highlights

BOOSTER is a configurable green chemical propulsion system using standardized components and N2O/C2H6 propellants, built for 20–500 kg satellites. It delivers 5–250+ kNs total impulse, scaling to meet your mission - whether for precise station-keeping or major orbit changes.

With first units already flying on SpaceX rideshare, Liftero brings BOOSTER to small satellite missions needing high-thrust maneuvers for orbit changes, collision avoidance, and deorbiting.

BOOSTER does everything you expect from electric propulsion, but with higher thrust, faster burns, lower power draw, and none of the complexity.
