NanoFEEP
In order to prevent the electrostatic charging of the satellite, our systems employ an innovative neutralizer technology. The main function of this sub-system is to emit the same amount of electrons as the thruster is emitting positive ions. To make this as efficient as possible we use carbon nanotubes, which are applied on a silicon chip, allowing us to create a never before seen miniature size and efficiency.
This solution does not require any fuel or heating.
Our electronics board generates, delivers and regulates the necessary high voltage of up to 12 kV for two thrusters and a neutralizer. It incorporates highly sophisticated monitoring solutions in order to prevent any possible malfunction of the system. We have also integrated countless fail-safe features into this tiny board, through which the system fulfills the high reliability standards setforth by the space industry.
NanoFEEP is a miniaturized ion thruster that uses a special low-melting point alloy as propellant.
The system is optimized to deliver the best propulsion performance for the least amount of space, mass and necessary electrical power.

MultiFEEP
High Performance
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.

The Cradle of Innovation
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, as one of the most serious problems in the space industry is the ever-growing space debris. To continue to use space in the future, the debris must be disposed of much faster as that is the case naturally.
Morpheus Space supports sustainability in space and on Earth by opening up possibilities for the industry to optimize nano-satellite operations.
