Innovation is not only about creating new ideas and technologies, but about rethinking and reimagining the current ones. Today we are challenging traditional approaches to space propulsion in order to improve their relevance and usability.
Breakthrough Technology
Dependability, accuracy, and effectiveness are the three essential principles that underpin any revolutionary technology. They guarantee that the most daring designs can be implemented and have a meaningful impact in reality. At SteamJet, we engineer solutions that perform exceptionally well in real-life scenarios. Our space propulsion systems are created to be effective, long-lasting, and improve thrust efficiency.
Water Propulsion Is the Key to Sustainability
We harness the power of steam to transform the space propulsion industry. Our steam generation technology presents an eco-friendly, secure, and sustainable solution for navigating CubeSats and Small Satellites in space. It offers a clean substitute for traditional space propulsion systems, achieving an ideal balance of outstanding performance and environmental accountability.
Low-pressure water as a propellant minimizes the impact on space, simplifies operation and provides safety. On top of that, our thrusters are easily integrated into any satellite. SteamJet thrusters represent a significant breakthrough in CubeSat technology and provide the reliability needed for a range of space missions.
Moving Forward
As the space sector advances, our methods for space propulsion also progress. We reevaluate existing technologies to open up new possibilities for space missions. We believe that the future is not about moving faster, but about working smarter.
For us, innovation isn’t just a concept. We believe that genuine innovation arises from addressing real-world challenges. Our commitment to innovative and provide progressive solutions drives us to continually expand the boundaries of space exploration and aid in the advancement of the industry.
Our product lineup features Thruster One, a flight-qualified space propulsion system that is intended for CubeSats and Small Satellites, along with Tunacan Thruster, which is specifically created for CubeSats.
SteamJet engineered reliable and efficient space thrusters with optimal performance. Their simple design allows for customization to meet various mission requirements and does not cause any RF or magnetic interference.
About SteamJet Space Systems
SteamJet Space Systems is a leading UK-based provider of high-performance satellite propulsion solutions. We specialise in water-based propulsion solutions designed specifically for CubeSats and Small Satellites (SmallSats), prioritising operational safety and rapid launch integration.
By pioneering the use of green propellants and intelligent thermal engineering, SteamJet enables complex LEO (Low Earth Orbit) manoeuvres — including orbital maintenance, collision avoidance, and de-orbiting — without the risks associated with toxic hydrazine or high-pressure cold gas systems, advancing green propulsion for space missions.
