Description
<p>Alameda Applied Sciences has an opportunity (by working with Novawurks of Los Alamitos, CA) to secure flight heritage for its Metal Plasma Thruster (MPT-X). The MPT-X is an Electric Propulsion Thruster that delivers >4000 Ns of total impulse from a 1U package, with no moving parts, liquids or gases to be handled. The TRL-4 prototypes have been developed through several generations over two years. This SBIR affords an opportunity to integrate the MPT into Novawurks HISat platform and obtain flight heritage, to be followed by commercial sales to other satelliet builders and for NASA deep space missions.</p>
