Muon Space, a climate satellite company revolutionizing the way Earth is monitored from space, has selected Exotrail, the end-to-end space mobility solutions provider, to supply five of its spaceware electric propulsion systems to propel the next generation of its ESPA-class spacecraft currently in development at Muon Space\u2019s manufacturing facility in Mountain View, California. These units are part of the next phase of Muon Space\u2019s Climate Constellation, which will use a new generation of sensors to monitor Earth\u2019s climate and ecosystems.<\/p>\n
Muon Space spacecraft will use Exotrail\u2019s high thrust spaceware- micro propulsion product to perform orbit raising and anomaly phasing, as well as orbit maintenance and collision avoidance. Exotrail\u2019s spaceware product will additionally enable efficient spacecraft deorbiting at the end of operational life.<\/p>\n
This mission sequence, which is becoming a standard concept of operations for operators in low Earth orbit (LEO), will leverage the full capability of the spaceware – micro propulsion system, including optimized deployment as well as sustainable use of space and respect of the national and international regulations and good practices.<\/p>\n
Exotrail\u2019s spaceware portfolio, with nano, micro, mini, and cluster product configurations, is a flexible, high-thrust electric Hall-effect propulsion system for satellites ranging from 10 to 1,000 kg. With its high thrust capability and modularity, spaceware drastically improves satellite deployment, increases service performance, and helps reduce space pollution.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very excited to work with Exotrail for our first constellation,\u201d said Paul Day, COO of Muon Space<\/strong>. \u201cWe are confident in Exotrail\u2019s capability to deliver the modules on time and with the right level of quality for our missions. With its industrial ramp-up, we see Exotrail as a strong partner that will enable our constellation deployment.\u201d<\/p>\n This is Exotrail\u2019s sixth U.S. contract signed this year, highlighting Exotrail\u2019s momentum in the region. It follows Exotrail\u2019s recent announcement of the establishment of two U.S. offices \u2013 Exotrail U.S. Inc., and Exotrail U.S. Federal Inc., to address this fast-growing market.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Exotrail team is extremely happy and proud to be chosen by Muon Space,\u201d said Jean-Luc Maria, Exotrail\u2019s CEO<\/strong>. \u201cTheir climate monitoring mission is well aligned with Exotrail\u2019s core values of sustainability and the virtuous use of space, as well as environmental awareness. Through this partnership, Muon Space and Exotrail are addressing two significant challenges facing humanity today: climate change and minimizing space debris!\u201d<\/p>\n Click here to learn more about Electric Propulsion Thrusters listed in SatNow.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Muon Space, a climate satellite company revolutionizing the way Earth is monitored from space, has selected Exotrail, the end-to-end space mobility solutions provider, to supply five of its spaceware electric propulsion systems to propel the next generation of its ESPA-class spacecraft currently in development at Muon Space\u2019s manufacturing facility in Mountain View, California.
