Agile Space Industries，航空航天，国防航空航天局，国防承包商和国防部信任的航空航天推进专家透露，他们正在为推进商业领导者的商业月球兰的推进技术提供新的推进技术浪潮。和梅斯滕。敏捷的专利，轻质和高性能推进技术允许未营业的着陆器将NASA有效载荷提供给月球表面。这些初步机器人着陆机构任务正在为Artemis计划铺平道路，美国LiD国际努力将人类送回月球。
“我们看到了农历兰德供应商的兴趣激增，需要在遗留产品中低于遗产和更高的性能，”捷克首席执行官和联合创始人杰夫Max说。“我们的模块化推进器技术凭借专有的金属合金印刷，使得特派团优化推进系统成为实际现实。”
Astrobotic, ispace Technologies, and Masten are among a competitive pool of companies delivering lander services under the NASA Commercial Lunar Payload Services program. The program is incentivizing the development of spacecraft with lower-cost and increased capabilities. Each of these companies have contracted Agile to provide thrusters in order to be more competitive on the costs and schedules necessary to achieve NASA’s program objectives.
Agile combines a decade of propulsion testing experience with a team of former NASA, SpaceX, Blue Origin, and Aerojet Rocketdyne engineers, using advanced additive manufacturing to print, assemble, and test propulsion hardware in a matter of days, rather than months or years. Agile’s closely coupled in-house propulsion design and additive manufacturing expertise unlocks new levels of performance with mission-enabling spacecraft mass reductions. These efficiencies create more room on lunar landers, allowing for additional fuel or payloads to be flown. The upgrade from legacy thrusters to a shipset of Agile thrusters reduces the mass of the typical lander propulsion system by 10’s of kilograms. With some missions flying payloads to the lunar surface for over a million dollars per kilogram, this saves US taxpayers 8-figures in dead weight on every lander mission flown through NASA’s Commercial Lunar Payload Services program.
