New Propulsion Technologies for Evolving Industry Needs

In an effort to provide a “responsible space” option to existing and future satellite manufacturers, CUA has developed five innovative micropropulsion systems that represent tipping point technologies for future integration and flight on micro/nanosatellites. The company takes pride in its ability to innovate and develop quality new solutions for the ever-evolving aerospace environment. The CUA family of micropropulsion systems provide a broad range of capabilities from high thrust to high specific impulse to best suit the needs of the customer.

Advantages of onboard propulsion:

• Collision avoidance (avoids escalation of orbital debris problem and the Kessler Syndrome)
• Orbit raising and lowering
• Inclination change (some systems)
• Rendezvous (some systems)
• Drag makeup and orbit maintenance
• Deorbiting at end of satellite useful life (avoids escalation of orbital debris problem and the Kessler Syndrome)
