Moog MONARC-5
Moog’s MONARC-5 is a named hydrazine monopropellant thruster. NASA’s propulsion survey describes the MONARC range as having substantial flight heritage and identifies the SMAP Earth-observation spacecraft as an application. The product uses catalytic chemical propulsion and represents an individual thruster rather than a complete spacecraft control system. The cited source does not establish its current production lifecycle.
