Dawn propulsion modules will enable Pixxel satellites to maneuver into their desired orbit post a rideshare-launch, allow for in-space management of the satellites, and for deorbiting the satellites responsibly and the end of their life.
In the last 12 months, Dawn has had several propulsion systems launched to space with a total of 21 thrusters, powering a variety of satellites, including CubeSats and OTV’s. At the end of 2021, the company announced it had over one hundred of its 1N and 20N “green” thrusters in production, with this projected to triple over the next twelve months.
