Designs and manufactures Hall-effect plasma propulsion systems for small satellites, with AS9100D-certified high-volume production
About
Orbion Space Technology designs and manufactures Hall-effect thruster propulsion systems for small satellites. The company's core product, the Aurora, is a fully integrated electric propulsion system operating on xenon or krypton propellant at 100-300 watts. The system also offers El Matador, an optional dual-mode collision avoidance feature providing up to 2 newtons of cold-gas thrust for emergency evasive maneuvers. The company operates an AS9100D-certified manufacturing facility in Houghton, Michigan designed for high-volume output. In addition to hardware, Orbion provides integration engineering, orbit analysis, and on-orbit operational support services.
