Quality and Precision

We refine every detail to ensure extraordinary quality at every stage

Incoming Inspection

Our automated incoming inspection streamlines throughput with 100% part verification. Fast issue reporting links directly to suppliers, keeping everything compliant, efficient, and launch-ready.

Emitter Production

The core component of Enpulsion’s IFM technology, our emitters are precision-crafted from incoming parts. Advanced parallel batch manufacturing with synchronized inspections ensures efficiency, consistency, and seamless production flow.

Propellant Loading

Next, we load each emitter with propellant, following the same high-efficiency scaling approach, using a precise vacuum process to ensure optimal performance while maintaining seamless production flow.

Emitter Characterization

In this step, semi-finished emitters undergo an initial characterization in vacuum facilities. We use batch testing and automated scripts to streamline the process, reducing chamber evacuation times and maximizing efficiency.

Scanning & Pre-Selection

We use advanced topology scanning to characterize emitters, leveraging predictive statistical models that optimize selection and quickly identify emitters that fall short of our rigorous performance standards.

Final Assembly

Selected emitters and preassembled components are stored, ready for final thruster assembly. Each order kicks off a rapid, Kanban-based process, which produces fully assembled thrusters in just hours.

Thermal Acceptance Testing

After final assembly, thrusters undergo rigorous acceptance testing according to the block's standard acceptance test procedure; additional tests are available as an option. Batch testing ensures efficiency without compromising timelines or precision.

Vibration Testing

Assembled thrusters undergo vibration testing, conducted in parallel with thermal acceptance testing to maximize efficiency while ensuring they meet our established performance standards.

Functional Acceptance

Thrusters undergo final functional firing tests in vacuum facilities, with digitalized reporting and agile workflows ensuring swift decisions and rapid replacement for major non-conformances.

Final Inspection & Shipping

Final inspection, packaging, and shipping follow a 
streamlined, flexible process optimized based on 
customer input. Close collaboration with our logistics partners enables fast turnaround and timely delivery.

Configurable Within a Range

Standard Blocks

Each block covers a published range through parameters and options. Because we deliver from designs already in production, lead times stay short.

Robust by Design

Backed by Heritage

Designed to tolerate handling, integration and operation beyond the nominal, and built on the heritage of 280+ Enpulsion propulsion systems in space.
