Manastu Space

Manastu Space develops green propulsion systems and debris collision avoidance technology for satellites and launch vehicles. Its GP-LAM thruster uses a proprietary non-toxic hydrogen peroxide-alcohol propellant (MS289) with a high-temperature ceramic catalyst to enable safe orbital maneuvers and deorbiting. The system has secured its first commercial contract with France-based aerospace company Latitude.

Problem

The increasing number of satellites in orbit raises the risk of collisions, leading to debris pollution that threatens the sustainability of the space industry. Current propulsion systems often rely on toxic propellants, posing environmental and safety hazards.

Solution

Manastu Space develops green propulsion systems and debris collision avoidance technology to enhance in-space logistics and safety. Their green propulsion system utilizes a non-toxic hydrogen peroxide–alcohol based propellant, MS289, with an ultra-high-temperature ceramic catalyst operating at 1400°C to generate clean thrust through steam and carbon dioxide. This system enables satellites to perform evasive maneuvers, station keeping, and atmospheric drag compensation, reducing debris pollution and contributing to a safer space environment.

Target Audience

Primary customers are satellite operators, launch vehicle providers, and space agencies seeking sustainable and safe in-space propulsion and collision avoidance solutions. The GP-LAM has already secured a commercial contract with France-based aerospace company Latitude.
