Through the SBIR program, DSSP developed a multi-pulse solid rocket motor for NASA that will enable stabilized interplanetary flight for small satellites. Another of DSSP’s core innovations with roots in the SBIR program is already having an even greater impact. Originally proposed to fuel a microsatellite thruster for Earth-observation missions, DSSP’s HAN-based green electric monopropellants (GEM and AF-M315E) technology is powering larger satellites, enhancing downhole oil and gas recovery, and much more. Highly insensitive to ignition by spark, flame, or shock, GEM-based innovations are stable, non-toxic, and more controllable than conventional propellants.
