USA. Orbion wins contract to demonstrate high-thrust propulsion (Space News)

Orbion Space Technology announced a U.S. Air Force contract to develop and demonstrate high-thrust propulsion to help small satellites quickly dodge satellites or space debris.

The Phase 2 Small Business Innovation Research contract awarded by the Air Force AFWERX program supports Orbion’s work on El Matador, a collision avoidance feature that “allows a spacecraft to elegantly step out of the way and avoid the horns of an incoming threat,” said Brad King, Orbion founder and CEO.
