Orion has demonstrated its responsiveness and unique capability for testing with the t/Space 100lbf GCH4/GO2 thruster. This thruster went from concept, to drawings, to fabrication, to hot-fire testing in only 6 weeks.

We create both innovative and traditional propulsion systems that are reliable, within schedule, and cost effective. We work with a variety of propellants including: liquid and gaseous oxygen, JP-8, RP-1, methane, hydrogen, propane, ethane, nitrous oxide, HTPB, HAN, and hydrogen peroxide.
