Start-up Phase Four has secured two deals to supply its electric propulsion systems for small satellites. Six of Phase Four’s Maxwell electric propulsion systems were acquired by radar-imaging satellite firm Capella Space, with the option for a number of extra thrusters. A separate deal saw Astro Digital Systems place an order for an undisclosed amount of Maxwell thrusters. While smaller deals for the provision of thrusters had been struck last year with NASA and Tyvak Nano-Satellite, Phase Four regards these as its first major orders.
