🚀🌌 Revenue Impact of Electric Propulsion In our latest blog, we explore the impact on revenue of the slow deployment of electric propulsion. Here's a quick look at revenue lost due to phasing and deorbiting, assuming 90 days phasing 50 days to deorbit: Communications Telesat LEO Satellite - $22m Daily value per satellite: $8,780 Potential lost revenue over life of mission: $1,317,000 We think every day counts.

About us
Based in the Netherlands, New Zealand, and the United States, Dawn Aerospace’s mission is to enable the next generation of space users by providing dramatically more scalable and sustainable ways to access and move around in space. Spaceplane Dawn’s suborbital and orbital rocket-powered planes operate much like a fleet of aircraft, taking off and landing horizontally at airports. Mk-II is a suborbital plane designed to fly 100 km above the Earth and aims to be the first vehicle to access space multiple times per day. An active test flight program of the Mk-II Aurora spaceplane demonstrator has seen 40 flights completed. The vehicle serves as a technology demonstrator for the two-stage-to-orbit vehicle, the Mk-III. In-space propulsion Dawn is now a leading supplier of turnkey green propulsion systems for NanoSat, MicroSat, ESPA, and ESPA Grande-class satellites. Dawn propulsion technology often achieves superior performance than traditional hydrazine systems by using a unique, green-propellant combination; nitrous oxide and propylene. Having proven this technology on orbit for both CubeSats and small satellites, Dawn propulsion systems have now flown on Vega, Falcon 9, and Soyuz launchers.

Electric propulsion marked a significant breakthrough in the satellite industry a decade ago, leading to widespread adoption. Now, with decreasing launch costs and increasing demands for responsiveness, we're shifting back to safer, green-chemical nitrous-based propulsion.

We are officially certified for supersonic flight! Dawn has been awarded certification to fly the Mk-II Aurora at unlimited speeds and up to 80,000ft, nearly twice as high as commercial jets fly! This certification is unique in that it goes beyond the normal jurisdiction of ‘airspace’ of 60,000ft, and is coupled with a high-altitude license, issued by the NZ Space Agency. This is the first time such a dual license has been obtained and paves the way for certification up to our ultimate goal of flight to 100km, or 330,000ft, the edge of space. This is the last major piece of work before our next flight test campaigns, set to take place over the coming 3 months where we will push MUCH higher and faster than ever before. Watch this space!
