About
The AIS-SWAG1-QUAD is a quad-module sublimation warm gas thruster using solid unpressurized Adamantane as propellant. Operating at 20W with four thruster outputs, it provides 480uN of thrust for up to 7 hours of operation. The system delivers 12Ns of total impulse from 38g of propellant, enabling approximately 17.6km of orbital movement for a 1kg 1U CubeSat or 5.9km for a 3kg 3U CubeSat. The quad configuration gives maximum thrust capability in the SWAG1 series. Status: AVAILABLE.
