The Nereus product family is a modular and scalable system built around monopropellant and bipropellant engines that aims to be a new paradigm for In-Space mobility for both vehicles and satellites.
On Earth, what matters most are non-toxic propellants that allow safe handling, but in space, efficiency is everything and every second counts to get the payload operational as quickly as possible. With Nereus, there's no need to compromise, and space objectives don't impact Earth operations.
You can acquire a thruster independently or integrate the complete system with tanks, feed system, and avionics, according to what your mission needs.
Engines that drive mission success
From small satellites to large vehicles
At Pangea, we specialize in chemical propulsion for spacecraft, but that is our focus, not our limit. We're pushing boundaries and exploring every technological possibility.
