ENPULSION and Orbion Join Forces to Bring Flight-Proven Hall-Effect Propulsion to European Satellite Manufacturers

Enpulsion, delivering fast, configurable mobility at the lowest risk to your mission, led by Dr. Alexander Reissner and the team, and Orbion Space Technology, a York Space Systems (NYSE: YSS) company, have announced a partnership that will give European satellite manufacturers access to Orbion's proven Hall-effect thrusters alongside ENPULSION's established FEEP propulsion systems.

The partnership strengthens ENPULSION’s Spacecraft Mobility Backbone by combining its precise, low-power FEEP technology with Orbion’s flight-proven Hall-effect propulsion. With more than 40 propulsion systems launched in 2026, Orbion adds higher-power options for diverse satellite missions. The collaboration expands propulsion choices and simplifies integration for satellite manufacturers while supporting York’s growth in Europe through its broader spacecraft, infrastructure, software and mission operations ecosystem.

"The future of spacecraft mobility is not a single propulsion technology, but the intelligent combination of proven building blocks configured for each mission," said Dr. Alexander Reissner, CEO of ENPULSION. "Orbion's Hall-effect propulsion complements our flight-proven FEEP technology and strengthens the foundation of our Spacecraft Mobility Backbone. Together, we are advancing industrialized in-space mobility by combining pre-qualified mobility building blocks that can be configured to mission requirements, helping customers reduce integration complexity while increasing flexibility and reliability."

"Orbion has spent over a decade engineering, manufacturing, testing and flying Hall-effect propulsion hardware. Working with ENPULSION creates an opportunity to bring that experience to European customers who desire a sovereign product, backed by two companies that understand what it takes to deliver reliable spacecraft hardware," said Dr. Brad King, CEO of Orbion Space Technology.

The companies will showcase their collaboration at Space Tech Expo Europe, November 17–19 in Bremen, with ENPULSION unveiling its Spacecraft Mobility Backbone portfolio at booth A20. Orbion will join the official presentation on November 17 at 15:30 CET, which will also stream live on LinkedIn. The partnership combines complementary propulsion expertise, giving customers flexible technology options through a shared integration approach backed by established manufacturing and quality standards.
