Quick Overview
The Solid Cold-Gas Micropropulsion Module is a new-generation propulsion system based on solid gas-generating propellant technology. It consists of a gas generator, storage chamber, control circuitry, and sensors. The solid gas generator produces the required cold gas, which is supplied to the thruster assembly to generate precise thrust and torque for micro- and nano-satellite attitude and orbit control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Solid Cold-Gas Micropropulsion Module
How does the Solid Cold-Gas Micropropulsion Module work?
A solid gas generator produces cold gas that is supplied to the thruster assembly, so the module needs no high-pressure components and supports long storage.
What total impulse does the module deliver?
The module provides a total impulse of 80 N·s for micro- and nano-satellite attitude and orbit control.
What storage temperature range does it tolerate?
It operates from −15 to +55°C and can be stored across a wide −40 to +95°C range for long on-orbit storage.
What communication interface does it use?
The module communicates over RS-422 or CAN, in a 96 × 96 × 98 mm titanium-alloy (TC4) housing weighing about 1200 g.
What platforms is the module designed for?
It targets micro- and nano-satellite attitude and orbit control needing reliable, long-storage cold-gas propulsion.
