Propulsion systems

e-orbit is developing hybrid propulsion systems from few tens of Newton thrust up to more than 1 kN

But what is an hybrid rocket engine?

Hybrid rocket engines are a particular kind of space propulsion systems with the oxidizer and the fuel in two different states of matter.

e-orbit is using Gaseous or liquid oxidizer (O2 or N2O) and solid fuel (Paraffin eco fuels).

Satellites solutions

Hybrid rocket motors for in-space propulsion

High performances (Isp over 300 s in vacuum and thrusts up to 1kN)
Eco
High flexibility (throttleable system)

Hybrid Space Propulsion System for Satellites

Hybrid Space Propulsion System Concept

High Specific Impulse

An high specific Impulse means a lower fuel (and oxidizer) consumption for a given thrust.

This means:

less mass
less volume

Specific Impulse comparison between different space propulsion technologies

e-orbit high performances hybrid rockets provide Specific Impulses higher than most of the other space propulsion technologies and comparable to storable liquid propulsion systems.

ECO Friendly

Transition toward an Ecologically friendly space exploration era

e-orbit utilizes non toxic oxidizers and fuels which do not require special handling precautions

TNT equivalence value equal to 0

Hybrid engines are completely safe because the separate storage of fuel and oxidizer avoid any risk of explosion

TNT equivalence value

Lighter and more reliable propulsion systems

Hybrid motors are less complex than liquid engines making them more reliable and lighter

Less moving parts
Less valves
Less tanks

Launcher solutions

Under development: larger hybrid rocket motors for launchers
