Cold Gas

Non-toxic, inert powered propellant for unprecedented safety and reliability

Why Cold Gas?

Benchmark's cold gas systems utilize a non-toxic powered propellant that is inert and DOT-approved for shipping. The system can be shipped and stored fully assembled, simplifying spacecraft integration and launch manifest logistics. Starling systems can be pressurized on-orbit with as little as 15 W of power.
