Case Study
OHB Sweden and ENPULSION — 2023
OHB Sweden is a provider of complete space missions, satellites as well as spacecraft subsystems. OHB Sweden selected electric propulsion by ENPULSION for their EIS mission as part of Horizon2020 IOV/IOD Missions which was an important milestone in a long a very successful cooperation between the two companies. OHB Sweden and ENPULSION have successfully worked together on previous missions, including the Arctic Weather Satellite (AWS) programme, using the ENPULSION NANO R3 thrusters. The AWS is a part of ESA’s Earth Watch programme and is the proto-flight model for a possible constellation of satellites.
EIS mission
The fourth mission to be realized using the InnoSat platform is the European IOD/IOV Satellite (EIS) mission. EIS will host a single experiment from the Belgian company AMOS called “ELOIS”. OHB Sweden acts as the satellite prime, carrier/platform provider, system integrator and overall ground segment responsible (incl. operations). For this mission, OHB Sweden will again rely fully on its existing flight proven InnoSat platform with a minimum of adaptations and will again be using four ENPULSION NANO R3 thrusters for orbit raising and collision avoidance manoeuvres. The EIS satellite is under a contract with the European Space Agency funded by the European Commission.
