Chandler-based PacSci EMC successfully has used its Modular Architecture Propulsion System (MAPS) technology to fire a series of solid rocket motors to both point and change the orbital velocity of PACSCISAT, its on-orbit technology demonstrator satellite.

MAPS is a scalable array of high performance, sealed, solid propellant rocket motors that offer propulsion capability for CubeSats, SmallSats and small upper stages. It can be configured as a standalone system or with an integral guidance, navigation and control system.

“Due to our success, we are excited to announce that our MAPS technology is now commercially available to satellite manufacturers and operators,” said Greg Scaven, PacSci EMC’s president.
