Kongsberg NanoAvionics performed a Successful Collision Avoidance Maneuver ️:
NanoAvionics performed a collision avoidance maneuver using ENPULSION NANO propulsion system!
With a series of 3 firings onboard a NanoAvionics-built satellite, they successfully reduced the probability of collision from a concerning 1.99e-4 to 5.94e-8 for an undisclosed customer. This is a remarkable feat that underscores the vital role of active in-space mobility for spacecraft.
This mission highlights the importance of keeping our space infrastructure safe and enabling the sustainable use of our orbital resources. By having the ability to maneuver, satellites can avoid collisions and ensure the continued operation of critical space assets.

Congratulations to Kongsberg NanoAvionics and our customer success teams for the successful collision avoidance maneuvers 🌍🛰️🎉✨
With a sequence of 3 firings of the ENPULSION NANO propulsion system, performed onboard a NanoAvionics-built and operated satellite for an undisclosed customer, the results are very positive. The probability of collision being reduced to 5.94e-8 while the original probability was 1.99e-4.
This underlines the importance of having means of active in-space mobility on every spacecraft. Together we keep space infrastructure safe and enable the sustainable use of our orbital resources.
