Aurora Hall-effect Propulsion System
The Aurora is a complete, high-performance plasma propulsion system designed for small satellites. It includes a magnetically shielded Hall-effect thruster, a power processing unit (PPU), a propellant management assembly, and all necessary electrical harnessing for a turnkey solution.
The Aurora system provides a critical 'last-mile delivery' capability for small satellites, solving the challenge of maneuvering in space after deployment. It enables satellites to reach their final operational orbit, maintain their position, avoid collisions with orbital debris, and safely de-orbit at the end of their lifecycle.
Customers face the challenge of limited maneuverability for small satellites, which are often deployed in large numbers. Orbion addresses the need for cost-effective and reliable propulsion to achieve precise orbits, extend mission duration, protect assets from collision threats, and comply with regulations for end-of-life disposal to mitigate space debris.
