GO-2 Propulsion System Introduced by Morpheus
GO-2 Propulsion System Introduced by Morpheus
Can Support 6U to 250kg Satellites
A second-generation electric propulsion system designed for mass production across the New Space industry has been introduced by Morpheus Space. The GO-2 system is reliable and easy-to-use, and serves as a building block to addressing larger satellites and broader market needs, according to the company.
"The industry is transitioning from large, costly satellites to proliferated networks of smaller, more affordable ones. These constellations, traditionally planned and deployed years in advance, lack flexibility to adapt to changing needs."

As announced by Morpheus CEO Daniel Bock during recent media interviews, GO-2 allows greater accessibility in the New Space industry by offering a high efficiency, modular and reliable propulsion under a competitive pricing model to lower the barrier of entry for companies needing in-space mobility solutions. Compatible with Morpheus' Journey software, announced this past November at the Space Tech Expo conference in Bremen, Germany, GO-2 can support 6U to 250kg (≈550 pound) satellites, allowing New Space companies to launch into orbit faster with more safety and reliability.
"This self-contained, plug and play, electric propulsion system is one of the most capable, efficient, and innovative products for mobility in space," says Morpheus Space CEO Daniel Bock. "The industry is transitioning from large, costly satellites to proliferated networks of smaller, more affordable ones. These constellations, traditionally planned and deployed years in advance, lack flexibility to adapt to changing needs. Our team worked tirelessly to apply the lessons learned from previous iterations, surpassing even our own expectations in creating a reliable and capable propulsion system for a wide range of companies and their missions."
"With GO-2 and Journey, Morpheus has delivered two back-to-back marquee products to the New Space sector," says Morpheus Space President Kevin Lausten. "Both offerings reinforce Morpheus' position as a leading player across in-space mobility. We will have even more capabilities rolling out soon which will further enhance the value of GO-2."
