MEPSI MiPS
Overview
The MEMS PicoSat Inspector (MEPSI) Micro-Propulsion System (MiPS) is a cold gas propulsion system designed for 1U CubeSats.
Using Chemically Etched Micro System (ChEMS) technology, VACCO has produced a complete propulsion system including propellant storage, pressurization, distribution and thrusters. This simple, highly integrated design uses a self-pressurizing liquid propellant that is expelled as a gas.
Capable of 23 N-Sec of total impulse with up to 43,000 firings, MiPS brings true propulsion capabilities to micro-spacecraft for formation flying, attitude control and velocity change (delta-v).
