WIENER NEUSTADT, AUSTRIA, June 1st 2021 – ENPULSION, the market leader in small satellite propulsion, and QOSMOSYS, a New Space company developing Zeus, a new family of spacecraft for inner and outer space missions, today announced that QOSMOSYS had selected ENPULSION as the preferred supplier for propulsion solutions throughout the Zeus range. “Our decision came after a rigorous selection process”, said the co-founder and CEO of QOSMOSYS François Dubrulle. “ENPULSION offers a wide range of solutions which complement very well our Zeus range and the mission applications we have planned it for. These solutions provide what we consider to be the best specific impulse and overall performance in their class. Finally, as we are aiming to provide our customers with a secure and stable supply chain, ENPULSION’s experience in mass production of space-proven thrusters manufactured under the highest quality standards is a very important factor.” The two companies, along with NuSpace, a major spacecraft engineering company based in Singapore, will work together on the integration of propulsion in future missions of QOSMOSYS customers aiming to provide the best solution in each particular case. QOSMOSYS plans to launch its first satellite with propulsion latest by June 2023. The CEO of ENPULSION Dr. Alexander Reissner commented: “We are excited to support QOSMOSYS in achieving its goals of developing advanced spacecraft for its customers. We believe that our state-of-the-art thrusters and proven FEEP technology will significantly contribute for the optimum performance of these spacecraft. We will be also thrilled to see some of our products – for example the ENPULSION MICRO R3 – orbiting and landing on the Moon in the near future as planned by QOSMOSYS.” NuSpace Engineer working on ZEUS spacecraft Photo credit: QOSMOSYS About ENPULSION ENPULSION is the world’s leading manufacturer of electric propulsion systems for nano- and microsatellites.
