Solutions for Civil Missions

A pioneer in integrated propulsion systems, Maxar Space Systems has experience that exceeds 100,000 hours of active electric propulsion thruster operation across more than 30 spacecraft currently in orbit. Our platform designs provide for all-electric orbit raising, enabling maximum operational lifetimes. And as a leader in chemical bipropellant systems, Maxar Space Systems can customize propulsion based on customer needs for life span, timeline to orbit, mission, agility and payload mass.

Maxar Space Systems leverages more than 30 years of space robotics heritage to deliver cutting-edge, agile systems. We offer multiple-axis robotics with functional redundancy, precise pointing accuracy, high torque, fine absolute position sensing and the ability to withstand extreme space environments.

Hosting payloads on commercial satellites can help federal agencies gain access to space for scientific instruments, sensors and other small missions without the cost of building a dedicated spacecraft or procuring launch vehicle services.
