Small Spacecraft Technology
Green Propulsion Dual Mode (GPDM)
Project Description
A demonstration of a propulsion system that combines the use of chemical and electric propulsion using a single "green" propellant (ASCENT).
More »Anticipated Benefits
Increased TRL for a propulsion system and propellant that provides capability for in-space translation and attitude maneuverability for small spacecraft using a single propellant and feed system.
