TRL9 - Accelerating the Future of Spaceflight
Accelerating the Future of Spaceflight — Every Engine Tested, Every Mission Proven
Testing delays don’t just cost time they cost launches, contracts, and entire missions. TRL9 eliminates the bottlenecks that stall propulsion programs, so you can stay ahead in the most competitive era of spaceflight. TRL9 delivers large-scale thermal vacuum and batch testing infrastructure to meet the demands of today’s satellite constellations and tomorrow’s deep-space missions.
Propulsion systems were a challenge… due to business issues as a supplier.

The Satellite Engine Market is Scaling Faster Than Testing Infrastructure.
With thousands of satellites launching each year and constellations scaling into the tens of thousands, delivery schedule margins are evaporating. Every propulsion system must be validated under the Test as You Fly standard validating performance in the same conditions it will face on orbit. TRL9 closes this critical gap with multi-chamber, high-throughput facilities purpose-built to accelerate thruster acceptance testing for LEO, VLEO, and small GEO missions
The Advantage of Testing Without Bottlenecks
01
Multi-Chamber Infrastructure
Parallel testing with batch throughput mitigates thruster delivery schedule risk
02
Scalable Facilities
Purpose-built infrastructure aligned with the pace of next-generation space deployment eliminating bottlenecks today and ready for the constellations of tomorrow.
03
Trusted Partnerships
Leveraging partnership with Georgia Tech's High Power Electric Propulsion Laboratory.
04
Independent & Agile
Faster, more cost-effective than manufacturer-owned CAPEX-heavy vacuum chamber total cost of ownership. Preserve your capital for propulsion innovation while TRL9 scales the test infrastructure for you
Why It Matters
Because in space, delays on the ground mean missed opportunities above it. TRL9 ensures propulsion providers can deliver engines on time, at scale, and with 3rd party assured confidence in performance.
