The Steam Thruster

The Steam Thruster is a safe, high-performance, electrothermal propulsion system specifically designed for Small Satellites and CubeSats

► High thrust

► Safe & Green

► Low power consumption

Unlike electric, chemical or cold-gas propulsion systems, the Steam Thruster provides both performance and efficiency. Using low-pressure water as the main propellant, the Steam Thruster is launch-safe and easy to integrate into any platform. The low voltage and the absence of ionised particles, makes the system ideal for both telecommunication and optical payloads.
