This strategic initiative, announced during the 2024 Small Satellite Conference in Logan, Utah, will support the projected growth of the North American small satellite market, which is expected to reach more than $5 billion by 2030.</p><p>The “Made-in-the-USA” EPS®X00 system will be manufactured by Safran Electronics &amp; Defense through its US-based subsidiary, with first delivery in Q1 2026. By establishing a new production facility in Colorado, Safran reaffirms its position as a trusted provider of satellite propulsion turnkey solutions for both American and global markets. This initiative continues Safran's long-standing commitment to investing in the US to provide critical solutions and best-in-class support to US commercial and government customers. Strategically located, the new Colorado site will also host Safran’s U.S. team for satellite communications as well as space &amp; ground domain awareness.</p><p>“Safran is committed to advancing our manufacturing capabilities to meet the dynamic needs of the U.S. small satellite market,” said Jean-Marie Bétermier, Space Global Business Unit Director, Safran Electronics &amp; Defense. “By targeting the global demand for electric propulsion in small satellites, we will address the challenge of increasingly stringent international regulations for sustainability and resilience around the world.”</p><p>“Our enhanced production efforts are poised to support these developments and foster innovation in satellite technology,” Bétermier added. “Our advancements will also ensure greater spacecraft maneuverability to avoid collisions and facilitate the deorbiting of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites at the end of their service life.”</p><p>Safran’s electric propulsion system, named EPS®X00 (pronounced “X-hundred”), which includes the PPS®X00 thruster, solidifies its position as a leading provider of electric propulsion for small satellites. The PPS®X00, priced competitively to meet the specific requirements of the \"New Space\" market environment, boasts a total thrust time of up to 5,000 hours and a very high specific impulse, making it extremely versatile and adapted to all types of applications in LEO.</p>", "a838f039-3d69-48f3-9e8e-ce76f859390d": "Logan, Utah", "a887a90c-ca15-438f-b4ec-f70b18149e14": [1234, 1232, 1233], "f0137f35-cd6a-4ccb-8417-1bb0fa2910ca": [1231], "f9fb689f-c462-4fe0-8d9c-2f206b54c384": "<p>Safran Defense &amp; Space, Inc.
