Bradford Comet
Comet is a water-based electrothermal propulsion system associated with Bradford and formerly Deep Space Industries. NASA documents its use by commercial low-Earth-orbit satellite operators, including HawkEye 360, Capella Space and BlackSky. The agency notes that installations share a thruster head while tank size can differ. Those installation differences are retained within this product identity rather than creating a separate record for each tank.
