SatDrive is Dawn Aerospace’s modular chemical propulsion system family for small satellites. Systems combine thrusters, propellant tanks, valves, instruments and control electronics. Different thruster quantities and thrust classes share the tank and control systems, supporting coordinated or independent operation. Nitrous oxide and propene are stored as self-pressurising liquefied gases.
