About BERLIN SPACE Consortium
BERLIN SPACE Consortium is a German space company based in Berlin-Charlottenburg specializing in the development, manufacturing and testing of Hall-effect thrusters (HET) and integrated electric propulsion systems for spacecraft. The standard portfolio comprises five thruster models (HET-2, HET-5, HET-10, HET-40, HET-85) with thrust levels from 2 mN to 100 mN; mechanical and electrical interfaces can be customized to customer requirements. The propellant used is typically xenon, which is electrically ionized and accelerated by electric and magnetic fields. In addition to its propulsion products, the company offers engineering and design support, technical consulting, and environmental testing of space hardware. Customers come from the commercial space sector, science, and government agencies. Manufacturing takes place in Germany ("Hall-Effect Thrusters Made in Germany"); the website is bilingual (German/English) and targets the global space industry.
