Company - Exoterra
Product/Service - Nano Icy Moons Propellant Harvester (NIMPH)
- Classification
- Space Resources
- Category
- ISRU (In Situ Resource Utilization)
- Fields
- Oxygen
Hydrogen
Propellant
- Status
- Dormant
- First launch
- Not announced
A CubeSat-scale ISRU reduces costs by significantly reducing the mass of a mission, enabling lower cost sample return missions. Core technologies being developed involve miniaturization and design of miniature compressors and expanders for oxygen and hydrogen handling and water collection and distillation processes in micro-gravity.
Status Comment / Notes
The references to ISRU seem to have been removed as of early 2023. Thus marking as Dormant in the context of this database. Company pivoted to propulsion solutions.
