Momentus and Qosmosys have a service agreement for two 3UXL protoflight CubeSats in 2022, followed by two options in 2023. Momentus will provide the orbital maneuvering services necessary to deliver the spacecraft to a circular or elliptical orbit. Qosmosys is a new venture founded in Singapore last year and has its specific platform design, dubbed Zeus, which will be built with major contributions from NuSpace in Singapore.
NuSpace has also been selected to assemble and integrate all Zeus spacecraft. NuSpace signed a separate service agreement with Momentus last year for the company’s NuX-1 smallsat to be launched later in 2021.
Momentus has developed a cost-effective and energy efficient in-space transport system based on water plasma propulsion technology. Momentus has in-place serviceagreements with private satellite companies, government agencies, and research organizations.
