The company’s innovation lies in the design of its electric heater, manufactured using metal additive manufacturing (3D printing). By heating the propellant to higher temperatures, the system achieves a specific impulse up to 70% greater than existing satellite propulsion technologies.

OhmSpace’s high-temperature resistojet also reduces the amount of propellant required to complete a mission while lowering production and integration costs through the use of non-toxic propellants, including water and noble gases.
