The Space Industry

A discussion of the benefits, applications, trade-offs, and future potential of green propellant for small satellite thrusters.

Show Notes

In this episode we speak with Bradford Space, an experienced, US-owned business with operations in New York and Netherlands, Sweden, Luxembourg, and Seattle.

The business develops propulsion systems, avionics, attitude and orbit control technology, microgravity workspaces, and provides logistics services for missions beyond low earth orbit. Bradford Space is also a satsearch member.

Our guests are Khaki Rodway, Director of Business Development, and Patrick van Put, Managing Director of European Operations, and we discuss green propulsion in small satellites. We cover:
  • The evolution of High Performance Green Propulsion (HPGP) and the benefits it can bring to small satellite missions.
  • How HPGP is transported and handled by satellite integrators.
  • The potential impacts of space debris and the overall Space Situational Awareness requirements in the near future.
  • Using green propellant for emerging applications such as GEO/LEO refuelling and deep space missions.
