Problem
Current chemical propulsion systems for satellites are hazardous and expensive due to logistical constraints, while existing electric propulsion alternatives often lack the necessary thrust-to-power ratio for efficient in-space maneuvers. This limits the scope and cost-effectiveness of missions between Earth, the Moon, Mars, and asteroids.
Solution
OhmSpace provides high-performance resistojet propulsion systems for the satellite market, utilizing a patented ultra-compact electric heater that supports multiple propellants, including low-pressure water. This technology delivers a superior thrust-to-power ratio compared to traditional chemical and electric propulsion methods, significantly reducing mission costs. Their STAR Water product uses water as a propellant, removing the hazards associated with chemical alternatives while outperforming electric propulsion competitors. The system is designed for mass production using metal additive manufacturing, ensuring high reliability and production consistency for constellation missions.
Target Audience
OhmSpace targets satellite manufacturers and operators, particularly those involved in constellation missions and deep-space exploration, seeking cost-effective and reliable in-space propulsion solutions.
