Butane Micropropulsion Module
Quick Overview
The Butane Micropropulsion Module uses non-toxic liquefied butane as the propellant, relying on self-pressurization and vaporization to achieve a compact cold-gas propulsion configuration. Integrated with control circuitry, the module supports plug-and-play operation. Its high-precision thrust output enables micro- and nano-satellites to perform fine orbit transfer, attitude control, and station-keeping maneuvers.
