Additional information MOMENTUS-X1
Flying high performance X-Band (10 GHz) microwave electrothermal thruster with enough water propellant. First 16U CubeSat.
MX-1 will flight demonstrate the Vigor microwave electrothermal thruster (MET) that will be the main engine on our Vigoride in-space rocket. MX-1 eliminates the primary technical risk associated with our Vigoride in-space ride service. This delivery was a critical step in preparation for launch which will be on a Soyuz rocket in March of 2019. We developed MX-1 rapidly but methodically, with each component tested at the unit, system, and assembly level to assure success but with no time lost.
