Low-Energy Transfer Trajectory

Using electric propulsion, Heimdallr will follow a graceful, low-energy transfer trajectory towards the Moon.
Electric Propulsion

Heimdallr will feature non-volatile and non-energetic, Electric Propulsion to reach Lunar Orbit. By not having a pressurized vessel nor carrying dangerous chemicals, Heimdallr will be one of the safest 6U CubeSats aboard NASA’s Space Launch System EM-1 Mission in 2018.
Deployable Solar Panels

Heimdallr will feature deployable solar panels to provide the necessary electrical power to the propulsion system.
