Products
ExoTerra was founded in 2011 with a vision of reducing the cost of space exploration. We pursue this goal by developing affordable technologies that minimize spacecraft mass, including high-efficiency propulsion, miniaturization, in-situ resource utilization, and reusable infrastructure. Our products continue to be enhanced and can be tailored to fit your companies individual needs.

Power Processing & Distribution
ExoTerra's power systems include radiation-tolerant, lightweight, high-efficiency power processing and distribution units. Halo PPUs are fully throttleable and highly autonomous, and support the simultaneous operation of multiple thrusters.
IRIS Propulsion Module
​ExoTerra's Iris is a fully-integrated COTS electric propulsion module for smallsats. Iris incorporates our flight-proven Halo thruster, weighs a mere 15kg (wet), and fits within the normally unused space inside common 24" diameter separation rings.
Courier SEP Buses
The Courier modules are a complete CubeSat bus built around our flight-proven Halo and or Halo 12 thruster. Courier provides >1200 m/s dV, 300W, and 2U of payload in a 12U form factor, with >300 W electrical power available to payloads during non-thrust periods.
Propellant Flow Control
ExoTerra's Propellant Flow Control system delivers precisely-controlled propellant flows to electric thrusters. Its compact size (<1U) and flexibility make it the perfect choice for electric propulsion systems using xenon or krypton propellants.
Halo Thrusters
ExoTerra offers complete propulsion solutions including miniature Hall-effect thrusters, power processing units, and xenon/krypton flow control systems for affordable high-impulse microsatellite and CubeSat propulsion. If you are interested in our electric propulsion systems, please contact us for more information.
Propulsion Kits
ExoTerra can deliver custom-configured, fully-integrated and tested propulsion modules to meet specific spacecraft requirements. We can also provide complete propulsion systems as discrete components for integration by the customer.
01
ExoTerra offers miniaturized Hall-effect thrusters (Halo and Halo XL) and compatible xenon and krypton distribution systems for affordable high-impulse propulsion for microsatellites and CubeSats.
02
ExoTerra's Courier is an end-to-end power and propulsion solution, delivering >1200 m/s DV, 300W, and 2U of payload in a 12U CubeSat form factor. ExoTerra's Courier 4000 is a complete power and propulsion solution built around our larger Halo 12 thruster.
03
ExoTerra's Power Systems offer radiation-tolerant, lightweight, high-effiency power processing and distribution designed for solar electric propulsion.
04
ExoTerra's Iris Propulsion Module is a bolt-on Halo propulsion system providing high total impulse in an affordable, easy-to-integrate package.
05
ExoTerra's propellant flow control system delivers precisely-throttleable xenon or krypton feeds to our Halo thrusters.
