Systems and methods of the present disclosure can be utilized to provide an improved propulsion system that uses multiple high efficiency engines to provide fault-tolerant and scalable high thrust for orbit transfer and maneuvering over life. An exemplary spacecraft includes a base panel, a cylindrical core member mounted to the base panel, multiple DV thrusters mounted within the cylindrical core member, and multiple reaction engine assemblies mounted to the base panel outside the cylindrical core member. Each of the DV thrusters has a thrust level that is greater than a thrust level of each of the reaction engine assemblies. The multiple DV thrusters are operated for velocity control, with attitude control being performed by off-pulsing at least one of the multiple DV thrusters.
