Space. Powering sustainability: Satellite propulsion underpins orbital stewardship (Jason Rainbow, Space News)

Enpulsion’s Nano R3 is roughly the size of a Rubik’s Cube, weighs about a kilogram, and produces 350 micronewtons of nominal thrust.

Small satellite propulsion has a critical role to play in keeping space sustainable.

While in-orbit debris cleaners and other emerging capabilities capture imaginations, thrusters underpin a healthy operating environment in space.

Onboard thrusters can help ensure a satellite safely reaches its assigned orbit, moves out of harm’s way, relocates as market and mission requirements warrant, and dispose of itself when the time comes.
