Aphelion Aerospace has cracked the code on ecofriendly propulsion without compromising performance. Satellite propulsion modules, typically fueled with hydrazine, are extremely costly because hydrazine is highly toxic, it's deadly to humans and pollutes the environment. The search for high-performing ecofriendly alternatives has been going on for decades and current options still have deficiencies: they are costly, have various performance weaknesses, and are still toxic. Until now. We have finally cracked the code on ecofriendly propulsion without compromising performance. Our Perihelion satellite propulsion modules, fueled with HydroX, are 40% more fuel efficient than those fueled with hydrazine at 50% lower unit price. They are also significantly higher performing than other ecofriendly alternatives.
