Lunar Orbit
Radiation-tested and designed for deep space, Dawn Aerospace’s nitrous propulsion is a scalable and proven system for lunar orbits. Currently being used across three lunar orbit satellites for customers including Blue Canyon Technologies.
“We are excited to partner with Dawn Aerospace on this important feature for our LizzieSat™ constellation. We believe Dawn’s turnkey propulsion technology will allow us to extend our time in orbit and deliver on our future value proposition of providing space-based data to a multitude of industries.”
— Carol Craig, CEO & Founder, Sidus Space
"With their series of space-proven components, Dawn's modular system is designed to grow as we grow. They have all the building blocks and thrust levels we need, allowing us to scale systems as needed, up or down."
— Andrés Villa, CTO, UARX Space
“We’re proud to utilize Dawn’s propulsion system on our mission to provide the world’s best hyperspectral Earth-imaging satellites. Our goal is to launch a constellation that acts as a global health monitor for the planet. With Dawn’s help, we’re one step closer to achieving that and build a healthier planet.”
— Awais Ahmed, CEO & Co-founder, Pixxel
