Quantum Space<\/strong>, dedicated to transforming critical national defense and space infrastructure missions via its highly maneuverable Ranger spacecraft, announced the acquisition of Phase Four\u2019s multi-mode propulsion assets, a breakthrough technology that allows a single system to operate in both chemical (high thrust) and electric (high efficiency) modes. This strategic acquisition, which also includes a state-of-the-art integration and test facility in Los Angeles, strengthens Quantum Space\u2019s ability to deliver highly maneuverable, persistent, and cost-efficient platforms for its national security, civil, and commercial customers, enabling missions from low-Earth orbit (LEO) to geostationary orbit (GEO) and cislunar space.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcquiring Phase Four\u2019s multi-mode propulsion assets marks a major inflection point for <\/em>Quantum Space<\/em>,\u201d said <\/strong><\/em>Kerry Wisnosky<\/strong><\/em>, CEO of Quantum Space. <\/strong>\u201cIt gives us the agility, resilience, and efficiency required to serve the most demanding national security missions, support civil science objectives, and meet commercial customers where they are headed. Mission areas such as Golden Dome, maneuverable <\/em>GEO<\/em>, and life extension, all will benefit this is about providing unmatched space mobility.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Phase Four\u2019s multi-mode capability expands Rangers’ rapid maneuvering for responsive missions with efficient station-keeping and phasing and simplifies refueling by using a single propellant. This added agility supports faster response times, more versatile mission profiles, and longer-duration presence in orbit, capabilities that are increasingly critical for defense, scientific exploration, and commercial infrastructure.<\/em><\/p>\n

The newly acquired Los Angeles facility positions Quantum Space in a central hub of the nation\u2019s space industrial base – just minutes from Space Systems Command. This cutting-edge facility includes a large high-bay integration area, advanced environmental test chambers, machine shops, a clean room, and a mission development laboratory. This will accelerate the rapid development and expansion of Quantum Space\u2019s propulsion technologies and Ranger fleet.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhaseFour has always set out to deliver <\/em>propulsion systems<\/em> that bridge the gap between traditional chemical performance and electric efficiency with our innovative radio frequency propulsion technology,\u201d said <\/strong><\/em>Steve Kiser<\/strong><\/em>, CEO of Phase Four<\/strong>. “Partnering with Quantum Space ensures that this technology scales and finds its way into the missions that matter most\u2014defense, science, and commercial infrastructure. I\u2019m proud of what the Phase Four team built, and <\/em>Quantum Space<\/em> is the right partner to get the multi-mode capability on orbit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Quantum Space’s new capabilities further position the company to help customers stay ahead of emerging threats, support critical civil science initiatives, and deliver resilient, next-generation space services as market demand for persistent presence grows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
