About

Revolution Space develops in-space electric propulsion systems and advanced spacecraft solutions. The company's flagship TILE (Tiled Ionic Liquid Electrospray) product line uses a proprietary ionic liquid propellant to generate thrust without pressurized gas or toxic chemicals, providing orbit raising, station-keeping, collision avoidance, and end-of-life deorbiting for satellites ranging from CubeSats to larger platforms. The technology features a modular, scalable design with low power draw and compact form factor. Revolution Space demonstrated successful orbit-raising maneuvers aboard a NanoAvionics M6P nanosatellite in 2022 as part of a NASA Tipping Point partnership and holds multiple patents in electrospray emission technology. Founded in 2014 as Accion Systems, a spinout from MIT's Space Propulsion Laboratory, the company rebranded in 2023 to reflect an expanded mission beyond propulsion into broader space systems. Headquartered in Charlestown, Massachusetts, with offices in the Baltimore-Maryland area. Total funding exceeds $100 million.
