The STAR enterprise (Satellite Technologies and Astroprocessing) was established at the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI. It will mass produce plasma and other engines for small spacecraft — nano- and microsatellites

▪️70 installations per year is the current volume of the Russian market for engines of this type. We are talking about the real demand of potential buyers, including the space companies Sputnix and Geoscan

▪️”Engines of this type are used in outer space in near-Earth orbit. They adjust the orbit of the spacecraft, allowing you to increase the life of the satellite. In addition, propulsion systems make it possible to build and optimally distribute vehicles belonging to multi—satellite groupings above the earth’s surface,” said Igor Egorov, Chief Engineer of STAR

The established company can make the first sales before the end of this year. In the future, the production of engines for spacecraft of larger mass and size may be started
