```xml <problem> Cubesats and Smallsats require propulsion systems for orbital maneuvers, but traditional options can be expensive, complex, and potentially hazardous. The need exists for propulsion solutions that are cost-effective, reliable, and easy to integrate, while also utilizing sustainable propellants. </problem> <solution> Capsule Corporation offers WaterCube, a water-based propulsion system designed for Cubesats and Smallsats that uses unpressurized water as a propellant. WaterCube is designed to be a plug-and-play unit that is miniaturized, lightweight, and simple to integrate. The system enables satellites to perform orbital maneuvers such as de-orbiting, collision avoidance, orbit maintenance, and formation flight. For Smallsats, WaterCube can also be used for attitude control and proximity operations. </solution> <features> - Uses unpressurized water as a green and sustainable propellant - Miniaturized and lightweight design suitable for CubeSats > 2U and Smallsats - Simple and modular architecture using off-the-shelf components and 3D printing - Provides 4 mN of thrust with a specific impulse > 90 s - Available in configurations ranging from 0.6U to 1.5U, depending on propellant mass and total impulse requirements - Offers a total impulse range of 200 - 1000 Ns, depending on the configuration </features> <target_audience> The primary target audience includes CubeSat and Smallsat manufacturers and operators requiring propulsion systems for orbital maneuvering, de-orbiting, and collision avoidance. </target_audience> ```
