A small satellite propulsion system using a gaseous oxidizer and a gaseous fuel as primary propellants with a liquid as a film coolant for the inner surface of the rocket motor. The gaseous fuel is also used as a pressurant for the coolant and as a cold gas propellant for attitude control system (hereinafter “ACS”) thrusters. The oxidizer, fuel, and coolant tanks, as well as most valves and plumbing, are integrated into a single core unit along with the rocket motor, rocket motor plumbing, and safety valves. Attitude control thrusters may be remotely located with plumbing to the fuel tank. The core unit is four inches high and less than four inches deep and wide. The small satellite propulsion system uses no pyrotechnics and no hazardous toxic materials.
