ZEPHYRUS MN50

OVERVIEW

The Zephyrus MN50 system is a High Density, High-Response, Cold Gas Thruster designed to produce 50mN of Thrust under Vacuum Conditions.

As technologies shrink and satellites become increasingly smaller, the need for Simple, Reliable, and Dense propulsion solutions rise. Zephyrus MN50 solves this problem through its optimization for High Density Propellants and Compact Form Factor.

The system will be sold to clients as a Valve-Nozzle setup; a High-Performance Valve paired with a Vacuum-Optimized Nozzle for the chosen propellant variation. This maximizes both Customizability and Integration Flexibility for the end user.
