Advanced
mobility solutions

Built for your mission. Available today.

Our solutions

We build high-thrust chemical propulsion systems for satellites, capsules and landing vehicles. Backed by years of hands-on rocket engine development, our patented mobility solutions enable satellites to perform mission-critical orbit and attitude control. Our portfolio includes the GATE Jetpack, a plug-and-play mobility solution for ESPA-class satellites, and the GATE Thruster, a high-performance thruster with patented closed-loop control. We also deliver custom solutions tailored to your mission.

GATE Jetpack

Plug-and-play mobility
for ESPA-class satellites

Flexible mobility

With long-duration, storable propellants and a flexible propulsion architecture, the GATE Jetpack enables fast orbit transfers, mission reconfigurations, collision avoidance, in-orbit refueling, and safe deorbiting.

Plug-and-play integration

Designed with a plug-and-play form factor, the GATE Jetpack integrates smoothly into your ESPA-class satellite – minimizing development effort, reducing integration time and cost, and accelerating your path to space.

Affordable scalability

Built on a modular and efficient architecture, the GATE Jetpack is engineered for scalability. Whether you’re flying a single spacecraft or deploying a constellation, the GATE Jetpack offers the most affordable path to extend your satellite’s capabilities.

GATE Thruster

Superior precision
at every thrust level

Highest precision

With closed-loop pressure control via the combustion chamber, the GATE Thruster delivers consistently accurate performance. This ensures precise and reliable thrust output even in complex environments or during sensitive maneuvers.

Patented deep throttling

With its patented injection technology, the GATE Thruster provides stable and predictable deep throttling over a 1:10 range. It supports steady-state operation, transient thrust profiles, and precise pulsed firings at up to 10 Hz—enabling smooth handling across all mission phases.

Superior performance

Combining responsiveness and high thrust performance with careful system engineering, the GATE Thruster enables agile yet controlled maneuvers. It supports both high-performance spacecraft and tactically responsive missions.
