SteamJet Space Systems, founded in 2017, is a UK-based company revolutionizing space propulsion by developing water-based propulsion systems for CubeSats and small satellites. As a spacecraft manufacturer, SteamJet's technology provides a green, safe, and sustainable option for satellite maneuverability, orbit optimization, collision avoidance, and de-orbiting. Their key products include the TunaCan Thruster and ThrusterOne, and they collaborate with partners like Momentus, SatRevolution, and Orbitare. SteamJet's thrusters use water as a propellant, offering a launch-safe and efficient alternative to traditional high-pressure cold gas thrusters.
