Quub and Solid State Propulsion Join Forces to Revolutionize Space Propulsion
Lancaster, Pennsylvania, March 22, 2024 – Quub, Inc., a pioneering space technology company, proudly announces its partnership with Solid State Propulsion (SSP), a leading developer of cutting-edge electric plasma rocket engines. This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the advancement of space propulsion technology and opens doors to new possibilities in satellite missions and space exploration.
Quub, known for its innovative approach to satellite design and deployment, has teamed up with SSP to integrate SSP’s state-of-the-art Pocket Rocket Vacuum Arc Thruster (VAT) into its satellite platforms. The SSP Pocket Rocket , a compact and reliable electric plasma thruster, offers unparalleled performance in a remarkably small package, making it ideal for Quub’s next-generation satellite missions.
“We are thrilled to partner with Solid State Propulsion in our mission to redefine the boundaries of earth observation,” said Joe Latrell, CEO and Founder of Quub, Inc. “SSP’s Vacuum Arc Thruster represents a leap forward in propulsion technology, and we are excited to incorporate it into our satellite platforms to enhance their maneuverability and operational capabilities.”
The Vacuum Arc Thruster developed by SSP operates on the principle of pulsed electric arcs between two electrodes, generating high-velocity plasma to propel satellites with precision and efficiency. Its solid-state design eliminates the need for traditional propellant systems, ensuring reliability and reducing the risk of mechanical failures during mission operations.
Paul Stansell, Chief Executive Officer of Solid State Propulsion, expressed enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “Collaborating with Quub allows us to demonstrate the full potential of our thruster in real-world satellite missions. Together, we aim to push the boundaries of propulsion technology and unlock new opportunities for space exploration and satellite applications.”
The partnership between Quub and SSP represents a significant step forward in the commercialization of advanced space propulsion systems. By leveraging SSP’s innovative thruster technology and Quub’s expertise in satellite design and deployment, both companies are poised to revolutionize the future of space travel and satellite operations.
