1N HTP Monopropellant Thruster
1 N monopropellant thruster running on 98% high-test peroxide, developed at Łukasiewicz - ILOT and commercially produced by Thaliana Space under license for satellite ACS and deorbit.
Description
The 1 N HTP thruster is a monopropellant rocket engine using 98% high-test peroxide (HTP) as propellant, catalytically decomposed for thrust. It is the baseline thruster used in Thaliana Space's green propulsion modules (typically clustered in sets of four for a satellite propulsion unit) for attitude control, orbital maneuvers, and end-of-life deorbit of small satellites.
The engine was developed at the Łukasiewicz Research Network - Institute of Aviation and licensed to Thaliana Space in February-March 2025 for commercial production and delivery; first customer contracts exceeded 1 million PLN shortly after the license was signed. As a hydrogen-peroxide monopropellant design, it avoids the toxicity and handling hazards of hydrazine-based thrusters while meeting the performance requirements of small-satellite propulsion.
