SubsidieMeestersDetox SatDrive Propulsion
SatDrive aims to revolutionize small satellite propulsion with a safe, efficient bi-propellant thruster, enhancing science missions and enabling global internet connectivity and climate monitoring.
Projectdetails
Introduction
SatDrive is based on an entirely new paradigm: the use of safe, abundantly available propellants and a simplified, direct ignition system, increasing throttability. Compared to other technologies, the SatDrive module is the key enabler for European Space Agency (ESA) science missions to benefit society.
Benefits to Society
It also supports the adoption of civil space systems, such as:
- Worldwide internet connectivity (bridging the digital divide)
- Earth observation for monitoring climate change and methane emissions
Simplified Operations
SatDrive is simplifying operations through its bi-propellant thruster for small satellites weighing between 100-500 kg. This proposal is centered on the developments needed to bring this product to market.
Technology Development
Dawn’s safe, reliable, and affordable propulsion technology was first developed for the nanosatellite industry, which is rapidly growing and becoming adverse to the use of Hydrazine. Quickly gaining international traction, we are expanding this technology to the midsized satellite market with a larger thruster and supporting system.
