Pale Blue

PBR-20

Key benefits
  • Optimal for 6U-8U CubeSats
  • 1U envelope
  • Nominal thrust at 20W

Pale Blue PBR-20 is a miniaturized water vapor propulsion system in a 1U form factor. It is a fully integrated system that incorporates thruster head, fluidics, electronics and propellant tank, and is clusterable to meet a wide range of spacecraft sizes. The PBR-20 uses water as propellant and does not require a high-pressure storage. The propellant is preloaded to the tank prior to delivery from factory so that satellite integrators would not have to deal with complex fueling work.
