Manastu Space: Clean Propulsion Tech for Sustainable Orbit #2

Manastu Space, a Mumbai-based startup, is focusing on sustainability and cost-efficiency in satellite propulsion. The company replaces toxic hydrazine with a less toxic monopropellant, enhancing safety and fuel efficiency. The company is also developing in-orbit refueling technology, which could revolutionize satellite lifespan and servicing. Manastu Space has secured funding from BIRAC, ISRO, and venture funds and plans to enter full-scale commercial deployment by 2025. The startup aims to become a leading supplier of propulsion modules for small satellite constellations.
