Performance density: 969 N-sec/L
VACCO’s Green mono-propellant Micro Propulsion System (MiPS) provides a highly reliable solution for a fully self-contained CubeSat attitude control and main propulsion system.
The VACCO Green MiPS is approximately 3U in volume and uses four 100 mN thrusters to develop 3,320 N-sec of total impulse that provides 237 m/s of delta-V for a 14 kg CubeSat. Each thruster independently operates to perform both delta-V and ACS maneuvers controlled by an integrated microprocessor controller.
Flight systems currently in production.
