RCS
A 1U water-based reaction control system for fine maneuvering and attitude control on small satellites.
Why it matters
Small satellites need small pushes to unload reaction wheels and hold pointing. Using water as propellant keeps the system safe to handle and launch.
How the technology works
ThrustMe describes RCS as a water propulsion and reaction control system in a single 1U package that handles fine maneuvers, reaction wheel desaturation and attitude control.
