“Using proprietary technology, EOI Space’s Stingrays will be the first U.S. commercial satellites to fly in Very Low Earth Orbit (VLEO)—an altitude half that of others. While VLEO brings many benefits like higher resolution and virtually no risk of on-orbit collision, it also brings unique challenges. To tackle these challenges, we have developed novel solutions that ensure the successful deployment and maintenance of a resilient, persistent constellation of 60 Stingrays.”

“The HET-X Thruster combines powerful new technology, including magnetic shielding with a center-mounted cathode, a unique thermal cooling design and an effective propellant management system, in a unit weighing less than 2 kilograms (kg). The preliminary test results conducted in a vacuum chamber show sustained power input levels between 350 – 2500 watts with thruster output recorded between 20 – 140 millinewtons and specific impulse between 1300 – 2200 ISP.”
