Engineering:Momentus X1
From HandWiki
Momentus X1 is a technology demonstration spacecraft designed and built by Astro Digital.[1] It includes a Vigoride thruster which energizes water steam into a plasma using microwaves and ejects the super-heated propellant to efficiently produce thrust. The spacecraft will be launched into a Sun synchronous orbit aboard a Soyuz rocket in a 16U CubeSat deployer designed and built by ECM Technologies of Berlin. The spacecraft bus is the Corvus-16 design shared with Landmapper-HD. The common satellite bus uses reaction wheels, magnetic torque coils, star trackers, magnetometers, sun sensors, and gyroscopes to enable precision 3-axis pointing without the use of propellant.
