Benchmark Space Systems careers

Benchmark Space Systems is building a low-cost propulsion system for the rapidly growing small satellite market. Our system uses a non-toxic, inert chemical that is safe to transport and store, making it attractive to a range of customers.

The small satellite market is predicted to be $30B over the next 10 years, and propulsion is a key enabling technology for this growth. Our system uses a proprietary, patent-pending system that will offer a tremendous value by offering solid performance at a low cost.

Propulsion on small satellites will allow them to stay on-orbit longer, avoid hazards (space junk) while in orbit, and de-orbit safely at end-of-life. By focusing on minimizing cost, we've designed our system to give our customers a nearly 90% increase in operational life at a fraction of the cost of the initial launch.

We've met with the largest manufacturers of small satellites, and they're interested in our combination of price and performance, giving us a clear path to market.
