APS 500
Overview
EPL offers the battery operated APS 500. This high performance propulsion system uses liquid ammonia which self-pressurizes at 125 psia at 20 C. Ammonia was the first green propellant, it freezes at -80 C and has no condensable products to affect spacecraft surfaces. With a thrust of 0.15 N at a specific impulse of 350 s, the APS 500 offers excellent propulsion capability for spacecraft in the range of 50 kg to 300 kg.
