Benchmark Space Systems to make space more accessible and sustainable by providing world-class in-space mobility solutions to their customers and partners. Their mission includes three major criterias :

• Accessible: Space is a natural resource that should be available for the good of all humanity.
• In-Space Mobility: Mobility is enabled through hardware, software and services, allowing for safe and reliable movement in space.
• Sustainable: We believe in a sustainable in-space ecosystem that will require deep partnerships with like-minded businesses to achieve.

Products-Thrusters

Benchmark designs and builds turn-key chemical, electric and hybrid propulsion systems for cubesat through ESPA and OTV class spacecraft in LEO, GEO, and beyond, with flight heritage on several systems and components. Their core focus is to eliminate pain points in propulsion procurement and integration, enabled by a range of non-toxic propellants, qualified subsystems including thrusters, propellant tanks, modular control electronics, and intelligent GNC integration framework. The result is a plug-and-play system optimized to deliver a best-in-class solution to meet the operational and commercial mission objectives.

Halcyon and Halcyon Avant Chemical Propulsion Systems: The most versatile product family in their portfolio, Halcyon non-toxic ('green') propulsion systems are offered in a monopropellant or dual-mode bipropellant architecture with flexible thruster and tank configuration to serve a range of spacecraft and mission requirements.

Xantus Metal Plasma Thruster: Xantus metal plasma thrusters are optimized for cubesats, and an integral tool for microsat mission optimization with high-endurance station keeping and ultra-precise pointing and docking operations.

Starling Cold Gas Systems: The Starling line of gas propulsion systems is designed with unprecedented safety and configurability in its class. With a variety of propellant options that include an unpressurized-launch variant and a patented resistojet option, Starling is an ideal choice for operation sets that require a simple and reliable solution and no more than 2kN·s total impulse.

Peregrine Hypergolic Systems: Benchmark's Peregrine offering is an HTP-based hypergolic propulsion system that makes use of the propellant management and control electronics components and subsystems used in the flagship Halcyon product line.
