Orbion Space Technology Is One Of 2024's Most Innovative Companies

Michigan-based Orbion Space Technology builds Aurora, a new type of propulsion system that employs what are known as Hall-effect thrusters, which accelerate propellant using an electric field. Companies that send satellites into space on a rocket can use Orbion’s thrusters to maneuver them precisely to their final destination.

At the end of the satellite’s mission, the thruster helps the satellite come down in a safe, controlled way, burning up in the atmosphere without leaving debris behind. The company began shipping the system to customers in 2023.
