Momentus’ New Spacecraft Engine Continues Successful In-Space Testing
The MET is the Vigoride Orbital Service Vehicle’s (OSV) primary propulsion method that relies on solar power and uses distilled water as a propellant.
- The MET is the Vigoride Orbital Service Vehicle’s (OSV) primary propulsion method that relies on solar power and uses distilled water as a propellant.
- The use of non-toxic water propellant ultimately enables simpler, safer, and more cost-efficient operations both on Earth and in space.
- “We have been doing multiple burns that raise the orbit of the spacecraft.
- The electrical power system, including batteries and solar arrays have been supporting the high power (1000+ Watts) operation of the MET.
