Hyperion Transport Systems

Company Description

As measured by launch cost per kilogram, access to space has improved by orders of magnitude over the last three decades, driving explosive growth in the number of satellite launches. The mission requirements demand increased spacecraft capabilities in the form of extended mission duration, maneuverability, and agility.

Conventional satellite propulsion systems have high fuel efficiency and low thrust density, or vice versa. Hyperion Transport Systems advanced materials and designs unlock higher fuel efficiency and thrust density, offering benefits that deliver substantial value to payload customers and mission planners. This technology is power scalable and adaptable to an array of mission requirements, and its design accommodates a wide range of spacecraft, from small telecommunications satellites to larger crewed missions.
Hyperion’s novel thruster will enhance mission lifetime, reduce satellite turnover, and allow access to high energy orbits for telecommunications satellites, which provide internet access across the globe.
