We don't follow orbits. We change them. 

We design, produce and deliver world class space hardware. On a mission to accelerate the production of agile spacecraft.

What we do

Chemical propulsion systems.One standard size.Configurable.

Built for ESPA-class satellites moving fast in LEO. Designed, tested, and shipped from Europe.

20×

Faster deployment

Reach operational orbit in days, not months. Six months of satellite life moved from maneuvering to revenue.

Instant

Collision avoidance

High thrust means a collision avoidance maneuver takes minutes, not days.

dV-efficient

End-of-life deorbit

Reduce the dV needed for EOL disposal by only lowering your perigee.

Our approach

Products over projects 

We focus on standard off-the-shelf products rather than one-off projects. That's how we reliably maintain low lead times at high volume output.

Why now

Spacecraft agility for
space resilience

This past decade, LEO became congested with debris. The coming decade will see it congested with active spacecraft capable of doing harm.    Space resilience is a function of agility: how fast you can move, and how much before you run out of propellant. The next generation of satellites must be designed to maneuver without regret.  North Propulsion is on a mission to accelerate the production of agile spacecraft for Europe and its allies - applicable across commercial, governmental and dual-use applications. We are rigged to supply hundreds of high-thrust propulsion units per year, because supply chain should never be a bottleneck for deploying a satellite of national importance.  We are ready when you are.

“You can't just launch a satellite and assume it's going to be there forever. You have to be able to protect and defend it. That's a new mission area.”
— Gen. Jay Raymond, Chief of Space Operations, U.S. Space Force
