The 10 N class chemical thruster developed by DELTAV is a highly reliable propulsion solution optimized for spacecraft maneuvering, station keeping, and mission life extension. Using hydrogen peroxide as propellant, the thruster significantly simplifies ground operations thanks to its non toxic and environmentally conscious nature. Moreover, the safe storage of high purity hydrogen peroxide, low cost preparation processes, material compatibility, and controlled decomposition capability improve operational efficiency and mission reliability.
The thruster design is based on the principles of reliability, high performance, green propellant technology, and operational simplicity. With its monopropellant architecture, the thruster offers a low risk and easily manageable configuration both for ground operations and on orbit missions. This structure provides significant advantages particularly for microsatellite platforms with limited volume and mass, in terms of both integration and mission planning.
Through development, the 10 N class thruster has successfully passed extensive testing such as firing tests, consecutive firing cycles, environmental tests, and material compatibility tests resulting in a product ready unit. In November 2025, four of 10 N thrusters are fired in space multiple times and gained flight heritage. They operated succesfully both continuous and pulse mode.
