Capabilities

Sectors: in space services, launch vehicles, propulsion, satellite platforms
Products & services: Manastu Space develops next-generation green propulsion systems for satellites and launch vehicle kick stages, delivering safe, efficient, agile and sustainable in-space mobility solutions. Its product portfolio includes I-Booster, a customizable propulsion system for 100–500 kg satellites in Low Earth Orbit, supporting orbit-raising, deorbiting, collision avoidance and mission risk mitigation. Vyom 2U is a space-qualified 1N green propulsion system for small-satellites ranging 50-100Kg and is successfully flight-tested in 'Mission Adyanta' onboard ISRO’s PSLV-C60 POEM-4 platform, using Manastu’s inhouse-proprietary and novel MS289 green propellant. For CubeSats ranging up to 50Kg, 'Sharanga' provides precise, throttleable micro-propulsion thrusts using non-toxic High-Test Peroxide (HTP) as a propellant for attitude control and orbital maneuvers in orbit. Manastu Space is also developing GP-LAM, a 300N green propulsion thruster for launch vehicle upper stages, orbital transfer vehicles and advanced spacecraft requiring high-performance maneuvering capabilities.
