Overview

Revolution Space (formerly Accion Systems Inc.) develops electric in-space propulsion for small satellites and CubeSats. Its propulsion products are lightweight, scalable ion beam/ electrospray thrusters that replace heavy tanks, valves, and toxic propellants, enabling more powerful and manufacturable units. The systems work by generating ion thrust through compact electric propulsion devices designed for satellite maneuvering in LEO and deep space, with the company selling these propulsion units and related components to commercial and government customers. Distinguishing factors include its redesigned, lighter propulsion architecture, a focus on small-satellite markets, and a track record of federal contracts (SBIR awards from the Air Force and NASA) to mature its tech. The company aims to make satellites more capable and affordable by providing scalable, reliable propulsion that expands maneuverability and mission options for satellite constellations and interplanetary CubeSats.
