April 27, 2026

Fuelling the satellite is a very important step in the mission. This process directly affects whether the satellite will function properly in space. However, this process is often complicated and demands

Bi-Propellant Chemical Propulsion for Small Satellites

April 20, 2026

Benefits, Challenges, and Alternatives A bi-propellant chemical propulsion is a system that utilizes two components – fuel and oxidizer. Once they come into contact, the ignition occurs and delivers thrust.

Hall-effect Thruster: Electric Propulsion for CubeSats and Small Satellites

April 13, 2026

A Hall thruster, or Hall-effect thruster, is a type of electric propulsion system often used in space for satellite navigation. It generates thrust by accelerating charged particles, typically xenon. This

From Lab to Orbit: Achieving Mission Assurance in CubeSat Propulsion

March 31, 2026

Today, CubeSat technology is becoming more and more sophisticated. The cost of making a mistake in orbit is as high as ever, because these errors are often impossible to correct.
