Orbion Space Technology is developing and manufacturing revolutionary plasma propulsion systems for small satellites. Because of their fuel efficiency, Orbion’s thrusters can save spacecraft operators millions of dollars in operating costs while increasing the value of the spacecraft’s data product. Orbion has a novel manufacturing approach that will enable production of plasma thrusters at the unprecedentedly high rates that are required to equip the space revolution.
