Schiffbauer Technologies is developing a Solar Photothermal Thruster that converts sunlight into thrust using graphene-based aerogels and water—delivering more thrust per watt to enable faster maneuvers with smaller power systems and higher payload uptime.

High thrust per power: faster orbit changes with negligible power draw
Safe, simple propellant: water-based system designed for streamlined handling and logistics
Built for scaling: a compact “maneuver package” approach for CubeSat-class buses
