VACCO ArgoMoon Micro Propulsion System
The ArgoMoon Micro Propulsion System is a VACCO integrated hybrid system documented by NASA for the Italian Space Agency’s ArgoMoon CubeSat. It combines an ECAPS LMP-103S chemical thruster with VACCO cold-gas thrusters for spacecraft maneuvering and control. NASA records ArgoMoon’s deployment on Artemis I. That deployment establishes a mission association without proving every intended propulsion operation succeeded.
