Current solutions on the market enable certain segments for small spacecraft, but end users have to weigh the trade-offs in selecting their systems due to the limitations of certain systems. An integrated AOCS solution from Aurora and Aliena will allow for customers to have an array of propulsion capabilities, in a compact and integrated form-factor for fuss-free deployment,\u201d said Dr Lim Jian Wei Mark, CEO of Aliena. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In-orbit service provider Orbital Astronautics (OrbAstro) has signed a contract to host a propulsion demonstration for Aliena on a mission set to launch in September 20220.&nbsp; Aliena is a small satellite propulsion startup based in Singapore.
