As previously announced, Benchmark was selected by The Exploration Company, a European start-up developing in-orbit exploration vehicles, to develop the propulsion system for its second demonstrator flight, ‘Mission Possible.’ The Mission’s main objective is to perform a safe re-entry of the capsule.

To reduce lead times and non-recurring engineering costs while providing mission partners with actionable, practical experience with system performance early in the design process, Benchmark’s Avionics Team rolls out a tiered Software Development Unit (SDU) and Electronic Engineering Development Unit (EDU) approach.

After months of testing and development, our flight-proven 22N Ocelot thruster gets an upgrade.

As a full lifecycle mission partner, Benchmark offers a range of end-to-end mobility services. Learn more about Benchmark's Ground Support Services, including spacecraft integration and fueling.

SmartAIM™ desktop tools offer digital twin and simulation models to plan or verify maneuvers in advance and can be paired with Benchmark’s simulated Hardware-in-Loop and mission profiles.
