Controlled Deorbit
At the end of your spacecraft’s mission life, the BSS propulsion system is ideal to safely and efficiently execute a deorbit maneuver, clearing the space for a replacement asset.

Collision Avoidance
Proliferation of space is a growing concern. The BSS propulsion system offers fast, responsive maneuvering in the event that another spacecraft or piece of debris is a probable close approach.

Station Keeping
The BSS propulsion system provides the required directional delta-V to maintain your spacecraft in its desired orbit.
Orbit Transfer
In the event that you need to reposition the spacecraft at some point, the BSS propulsion system can be used to maneuver to the phasing orbit and into the new operational orbit.
Life Extension
A BSS propulsion system can be configured to provide sufficient spacecraft torque to rapidly desaturate reaction wheels at altitudes where other methods are difficult or impossible.
