Today Apollo Fusion, Inc. is excited to announce it has been selected to provide the propulsion system for an LEO satellite constellation program placed by York Space Systems. York’s order with Apollo will provide the electric propulsion system for an LEO constellation of 10+ satellites with an anticipated launch in 2022.
York will be incorporating Apollo’s ACE (Apollo Constellation Engine) — a low thrust, high efficiency, radiation-hardened Hall thruster propulsion system developed by Apollo Fusion, Inc. ACE’s modular design enables Apollo to meet this program’s cost, schedule, and volume requirements with up to 40% more delta-V than originally expected.
Apollo CEO Mike Cassidy said, “We’re thrilled to be selected by York to provide the high performance necessary for this exciting constellation mission. Apollo is proud to support this program’s very rapid schedule with deliveries of flight systems in only 10 months.”
