Spacecraft Propulsion
Complete propulsion solutions for spacecraft orbit and attitude control, including thrusters, valves, and integrated propulsion modules
21 products · 2 featured
Overview
Spacecraft propulsion products span chemical thrusters, cold-gas systems and electric micro-propulsion. Thrust, total impulse, specific impulse, electrical power and propellant requirements must be compared for the selected model; a single range does not describe every system in the catalog.
Product Categories
Chemical and Cold-Gas Systems
The catalog includes hydrazine thruster assemblies, ADN-based formulations, cold-gas systems and integrated propulsion modules.
Micro-Propulsion Systems
Micro-newton modules, MEMS arrays, cathode-arc modules and Hall thrusters serve different fine-control and mission requirements.
Propulsion Components
Pressure sensors, valves and filters support propellant handling and monitoring. Confirm fluid compatibility, pressure ratings and connection details for the system.
Thrust Levels & Applications
| Product | Thrust as published | Selection context |
|---|---|---|
| Micro-newton variable-thrust module | 1–50 μN | Fine-control module; 0.5 μN stated resolution |
| Tiny ultra-high-pressure cold-gas system | 10–200 mN | Integrated cold-gas system |
| 0.2 N hydrazine assembly | 0.2 N nominal | 190 s specific impulse |
| 1 N hydrazine assembly | 1 N nominal | 200 s specific impulse |
| ADN thruster series | 0.2–20 N options | Configuration-specific; confirm selected thruster |
These are discrete product options, not a continuous operating range guaranteed by one system.
Frequently Asked Questions
What propellants are available?
The product pages describe cold-gas, hydrazine, ADN-based and butane-based options. Select the complete propulsion system against mission performance, materials compatibility and handling requirements.
What is the specific impulse of these thrusters?
The 0.2 N and 1 N hydrazine assemblies list 190 s and 200 s respectively. The ADN overview lists theoretical formulation values of approximately 220 s and up to 245 s. Theoretical propellant performance is not a measured delivered thruster rating.
How are thrusters controlled?
Control and electrical requirements depend on the assembly. For example, the 0.2 N and 1 N hydrazine assemblies list a valve drive voltage of 28 ±3 V DC. Request the selected product’s interface and operating documentation.
What is the typical thruster lifetime?
The 0.2 N hydrazine assembly lists a 5-year design life and the 1 N assembly lists 15 years. Check impulse capacity, cycle limits and duty conditions separately for the intended mission.
Can I use multiple thrusters for redundancy?
Redundancy is a system-level configuration. Verify the plumbing, electrical control, isolation provisions and failure behavior for the chosen module rather than assuming all products have the same redundancy features.
System Integration
Review pressure regulation, thermal control, valve drive, propellant compatibility and telemetry needs for the selected system. Qualification and flight history are product-specific.

ADN-Based Non-Toxic Thruster Series
The ADN-Based Non-Toxic Thruster Series includes thrusters ranging from 0.2 N to 20 N, designed to provide high-performance and environmentally friendly propulsion solutions. Two ADN-based monopropellant formulations were developed: a medium-energy propellant with a theoretical specific impulse of approximately 220 s, and a high-energy propellant reaching up to 245 s. Catalyst optimization further enhances combustion efficiency and propellant compatibility.
