Magdrive is hiring!

OUR TECHNOLOGY

The Magdrive Rogue is a compact, high-power propulsion system for satellites and spacecraft.

The Magdrive uses a metal propellent to create a high energy plasma.

The Magdrive Rogue generates thrust an order of magnitude higher than other similar sized electric propulsion systems.

The full system fits inside a single 2U cubesat with a dry mass of 2 kg.

Key Applications

Sustained RPO

Long term rendezvous and proximity operations for satellite servicing, imaging, ISAM/IOSM, and maximizing the value of space logistics and servicing vehicles
Stochastic Movement

To make defense satellites untraceable by enabling sustained unpredictable orbits above key adversarial ground stations
Constellation Management

To achieve high cadence avoidance maneuvers in highly congested Low Earth Orbits, and end of life de-orbiting
