ECAPS 1 N HPGP thruster

ECAPS’ 1 N HPGP thruster is a named high-performance green-propellant product using LMP-103S. NASA records its orbital demonstration on PRISMA and subsequent use in SkySat Earth-observation satellite propulsion. This identity represents the chemical thruster product, rather than the propellant formulation or a mission-specific cluster. Its current commercial lifecycle is not inferred from historic mission examples.
