Benchmark Space Systems is building a low-cost propulsion system for the rapidly growing small satellite market. The company system uses a non-toxic, inert chemical that is safe to transport and store, making it attractive to a range of customers.
The small satellite market is predicted to be $30B over the next 10 years, and propulsion is a key enabling technology for this growth. Their system also uses a proprietary, patent-pending system that will offer tremendous value by offering solid performance at a low cost. It proposes a resistor jet micro propulsion system that leverages a solid gas generator to offer high-performance, low-cost propulsion with key safety features.
Benchmark Space Systems was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in South Burlington, VT, USA.
