ELECTRIC PROPULSION FOR SMALL SATELLITES
Most systems make the satellite work around the thruster. Eos starts from the platform and the mission, developing high-efficiency electric propulsion that makes real manoeuvrability practical for small satellites.
A NEW APPROACH TO PROPULSION
The satellite industry is changing. Spacecraft are getting smaller, missions more ambitious and orbits more crowded.
Eos is developing electric propulsion from the other direction, starting with the spacecraft, the mission and the realities of integration, rather than asking the satellite to fit around the thruster.
THE PROPULSION CHALLENGE
Advanced electric propulsion uses electromagnetic fields to accelerate propellant and generate efficient, controlled thrust for spacecraft.
Propulsion is often one of the hardest parts of building a spacecraft, adding time and complexity long before a mission reaches orbit.
On a small satellite, propulsion has to make sense commercially as well as technically. Cost and size matter as much as performance.
How long a propulsion system keeps performing decides how much a spacecraft can achieve once it is in orbit.
As orbits get busier and missions more ambitious, the ability to move, reposition and stay on station is essential rather than optional.
The technology
Lampos is Eos first product, a plasma propulsion system built for modern small-satellite platforms. It is designed around three things operators consistently need: a longer working life, higher manoeuvrability in orbit, and propulsion that is practical to buy, build and fit at scale.
Longer life in orbit
240mN
An erosion-free architecture and increased total impulse are designed to extend operating life, giving operators more mobility over a mission rather than a fixed, shrinking budget of movement.
Built to scale
Lampos is designed for mass-manufacturability, with shorter build times and better scalability than conventional approaches.
Fits existing platforms
It is packaged at a size similar to or smaller than a conventional Hall thruster, so it suits the spacecraft teams are already building.

THE TEAM
Bringing together technical expertise, innovation and a passion for solving complex space challenges.
Eos Space Technology was founded to rethink how propulsion fits into the rapidly changing satellite industry.
Based at Harwell Campus in the UK, the company brings together technical research, product development and commercial thinking around one ambition:
to make advanced propulsion a more practical enabling technology for the next generation of spacecraft.
Small satellites are taking on more sophisticated roles across communications, Earth observation, science and infrastructure. As they do, propulsion stops being just another component and becomes an enabling layer.
Eos exists to make manoeuvrability, mission flexibility and longer spacecraft life more accessible to the platforms that will shape the next era in orbit.
