Rubicon Space Systems

Leading Development and Infusion of

ASCENT-Based Propulsion Technology

At Rubicon, it is our purpose to provide you with high performance propulsion solutions that use low-toxicity, easy-to-handle fuels. In doing so, Rubicon helps you meet aggressive operational requirements without inheriting the handling risks or infrastructure burdens associated with traditional hydrazine systems. Our team is at the forefront of high-performance ASCENT monopropellant technology.

Whether a microsatellite requiring fine-pointing agility or a larger platform demanding substantial delta-V, Rubicon’s deep experience and heritage on government and commercial missions reinforce a singular focus –  to deliver reliable, high-thrust, and low-toxicity propulsion systems that let you concentrate on mission success rather than fuel logistics.

Sprite Propulsion Systems

Our self-contained modules are designed to operate in single or multi-module mode to add propulsive capability to a spacecraft. The Sprite Propulsion System is a plug-and-play system ideal for delta-V, momentum management, collision-avoidance, and de-orbiting a cubesat or smallsat.

Thrusters & Propulsion Systems

Our goal is to provide fully realized propulsion system solutions to the spacecraft integrator at a cost-point that makes it an easy decision to “go green”.

We will also work collaboratively with our customers to provide customized solutions if necessary.

We work with NASA and AFRL to produce cutting-edge chemical and chemical-electric (aka. Dual-Mode) propulsion technology.
