ExoTerra Aces the Growth of Space Exploration Through Their Products and Services

ExoTerra, a pioneer in the space industry, missions to enable the growth of space exploration and commercialization through high-quality, reliable products and services that reduce the cost of gravity. 

ExoTerra specializes in developing and optimizing solar electric propulsion systems. In addition to their own Courier system and Halo thruster, they have worked on SEP systems such as the Asteroid Redirect Mission, Mars Aerosol Tracker, and Agile Inspector.

Furthermore, thay have varied space heritage with operational spacecraft. Their team has worked programs including Mars Exploration Rover, Mars Global Surveyor, Orion, Dream Chaser, OSIRIS-REx, GOES-R, Genesis, XSS-11, Stardust, Space Shuttle, and Atlas. They have also held contracts with NASA, Lockheed Martin, Sierra Space, and the United States Air Force.

HALO THRUSTER: ExoTerra’s revolutionary Halo Hall-Effect Thruster allows CubeSats to escape their rideshare drop-off orbits to reach optimal orbits, maintain them for long durations, and deorbit on command.

HALO-12 THRUSTER: ExoTerra’s revolutionary Halo12 Hall-effect thruster-based EP subsystem provides industry-leading performance and enables small satellites to perform extremely high-ΔV missions.

POWER PROCESSING AND DISTRIBUTION: ExoTerra's Power Systems offer radiation tolerant, lightweight, high-efficiency power systems designed for Solar Electric Propulsion systems.

SOLAR ARRAY: Courier and the Halo EP system are powered by ExoTerra’s high-specific-power Fold Out Solar Arrays (FOSA).

PROPELLANT FLOW CONTROL: Designed specifically for CubeSats, the ExoTerra Xenon Flow Control (XFC) Module provides a wide throttle range with small size and low weight, power, and cost.
