DESIGNED TO OUTPERFORM Morpheus Space The Cradle of Innovation

2 Morpheus Space nanofeep HIGHEST EFFICIENCY Dynamic Thrust Range 1 µn - 40 µn Nominal Thrust 20 µn Specific Impulse 3000 to 8500 s Propellant Mass Range 0,5 to 9 g Total Impulse Range more than 600 Ns Power @ Nominal Thrust 2,4 W Total System Mass (dry / wet) 80 g / 89 g Total System Power 0,9 to 8,5 W Hot Standby Power 0,2 W 1 Thruster Size (L x W x H) 17x17x25 mm Electronics Size (LxWxH) 85x85x10 mm The NanoFEEP system consists of two thrusters, one neutralizer and the control electronics board.

3 HIGHEST EFFICIENCY LOWEST WEIGHT LONGEST LIFETIME PROVEN TECHNOLOGY Compared to other propulsion systems, NanoFEEP can deliver the highest specific impulse on the market of up to 8500 s with a power consumption as low as 1 W. We produce by far the lowest weight solution among all propulsion systems currently available on the market while delivering the highest delta-v potential. With a lifetime of over 3 years of continuous operation, NanoFEEP is currently unmatched on the market in delivering stable continuous thrust over the lifetime of a satellite mission. The FEEP technology has flown on numerous successful satellite missions for various applications including propulsion. We developed the technology of the propulsion system during many years of research at the Institute of Aerospace Engineering of TU Dresden. At its core lies the FEEP technology specially developed for miniaturized applications using the low-melting metallic gallium propellant, as well as a chip-based neutralizer with the corresponding supply and control electronics. All of the system s components are optimized to deliver the best propulsion performance for the least amount of space, mass and necessary electrical power, which are the most valuable commodities on board of a nanosatellite. Due to the system s plugand-play nature the integration into a satellite platform is easy and highly customizable in order to fulfill the propulsion requirements of almost all low Earth orbit missions.

4 Morpheus Space PRECISE THRUST VECTORS WIDE THRUST RANGE HIGHEST DELTA-V Compared to other propulsion systems, MultiFEEP can generate the most complex 3D thrust profiles on the market independent of the magnitude. The MultiFEEP system can deliver a wide thrust range with a sub-micronewton resolution, thus making precision position control within a constellation of satellites as easy as pushing a button. Due to the flexibility of MultiFEEP s design, we can tailor the total impulse of the system to our customer, while allowing for a never before seen total delta-v on board of a nanosatellite. The MultiFEEP design lies at the forefront of micro propulsion technology. We have created this unique system for satellite missions, which have challenging requirements with regard to total delta-v, maximum thrust levels and precise thrust vector control. Through the seamless combination of the independent seven thrust sources and the individually controllable seven thrust vectors, we can create highly complex 3D thrust profiles in order to fulfill demanding space mission challenges. As the underlying technology is the same as with NanoFEEP, we provide the same space mission inheritance and high level of reliability, while delivering ten-times higher thrust and a never before seen maximum delta-v potential in the world of nanosatellite propulsion systems.

Dynamic Thrust Range 1 µn - 350 µn Nominal Thrust 190 µn Specific Impulse 1500 to 8500 s Propellant Mass Range up to 320 g Total Impulse Range up to 21500 Ns Power @ Nominal Thrust 15 to 19 W Total System Mass (dry / wet) 255 g / 575 g Total System Power 6,5 to 75 W Hot Standby Power 0,3 W multifeep UNMACHED POWER 5 Smallest Version: 1 Thruster Size (L x W x H) down to 25x25x30 mm Electronics Size (LxWxH) 85x85x30 mm A MultiFEEP system consists of two thrusters, two neutralizers and the control electronics board.

7 In order to improve the performance of our propulsion systems, we have researched alternative materials to use as propellant. This resulted in a special metallic alloy that increases thrust and total impulse without a significant increase in power consumption. 2.5x MultiFEEP Systems on a 3U CubeSat w/ Standard Propellant (Ga) Duration Power Drag compensation to maintain a 250 km stable orbit altitude 10 years 6 W Duration to raise the orbit altitude from 250 km to 600 km 19 days 35W 2.5x MultiFEEP Systems on a 3U CubeSat w/ New Propellant Duration Power Drag compensation to maintain a 250 km stable orbit altitude 11.5 years 6 W Duration to raise the orbit altitude from 250 km to 600 km 13 days 35 W

MORPHEUS SPACE Even if you are targeting Mars, rest assured, Morpheus Space will get you there. A current and very serious problem in the space industry is the evergrowing space debris. To continue to use space in the future, the debris must be disposed of much faster as that is the case naturally. We, at Morpheus Space, have aligned our core values with those of the UN when we speak about a sustainable future in space and on Earth. Our technology can be used for this purpose. With NanoFEEP, a small CubeSat who would otherwise be in orbit for 25 years can be propelled back into the atmosphere within 2 years. With MultiFEEP one can even dispose of a 6U CubeSat within 2 years, which would otherwise orbit for 1000 years as a space debris. Morpheus Space supports sustainability in space and on Earth by opening up possibilities for the industry to optimize satellite operations.
