The Rocket Pack green propulsion system, a monopropellant version of the propulsion system, enabling rapid and effective maneuvers essential for various in-orbit civilian and military applications, including rapid collision avoidance with space debris, will be installed on Aerospacelab’s VSP-150, a 330-pound Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite platform.
"Agena Space’s confidence in our VSP-150 highlights the reliability and efficiency of our platform, which has already successfully supported six deployed satellites,” said Benoît Deper, CEO of Aerospacelab. “By leveraging Aerospacelab's manufacturing expertise, Agena Space aims to enhance future in-orbit applications, offering unparalleled mobility in space with their Rocket Pack. This is truly an exciting development.”
"We are very proud to team up with Aerospacelab to demonstrate the capabilities of Rocket Pack, our green liquid propulsion system using Hydrogen Peroxide," said Pierre-Guy Amand, CEO of Agena Space. "This demonstration will serve to validate the quality of our developments done in a record 2 years, as well as enable the in-orbit demonstration of the extraordinary capabilities of Rocket Pack on Aerospacelab’s state-of-the-art LEO satellite platform, as a first step in the rollout of our product portfolio."
