ABOUT PHASEFOUR

Phase Four is a disruptive provider of next generation electric propulsion (EP) solutions for small satellites. Phase Four’s RF Thruster represents a revolutionary new architecture that realizes lower cost, mass-manufacturability, miniaturized power electronics, and propellant agnosticism over incumbent technologies, without compromising performance. In 2021 Phase Four’s Maxwell turn-key propulsion system achieved flight heritage and is now being regularly utilized by satellite operators.
