Week in Space Data, every Friday.
Exotrail supplies Hall-effect electric propulsion systems and mission software that enable orbit transfers, constellation deployment, and end-of-life deorbiting for small satellites.
ACTIVEExotrail is a French provider of orbital services and space mobility: it builds spaceware Hall-effect electric propulsion systems for satellites from 10 to 1,000 kg, mission simulation and operations software, and the spacevan orbital transfer and servicing vehicle, supporting satellite positioning, relocation and deorbiting.
Exotrail is a French space mobility company offering integrated electric propulsion hardware and mission design software for small satellite operators. Their ExoMG product line features compact Hall-effect thrusters scalable from microsatellites to larger platforms. Complementing the hardware, their SpaceVan orbital transfer vehicle and ExoOPS mission planning software provide complete mobility solutions. Exotrail enables constellation operators to deploy satellites to their operational orbits more efficiently, perform station-keeping, and execute responsible deorbiting at end of life.
