Maximize asset value and minimize downtime with AeroVance's advanced Life Extension Propulsion (LEP) and end-of-life disposal services. Keep your constellation operational long beyond design life.
Our Life Extension solutions address the critical needs of aging satellite assets, offering cost-effective alternatives to premature replacement while ensuring compliance with space debris mitigation standards.
Attach our PropVance™ X1 electric propulsion modules to extend station-keeping capabilities for satellites with depleted fuel reserves.
Precision maneuvers to return drifted assets to nominal orbital slots, restoring service quality and coverage without ground segment changes.
Safe end-of-life disposal services including graveyard orbit transfer and controlled atmospheric de-orbiting for full regulatory compliance.
Advanced solar array extensions and battery management systems to combat degradation and maintain peak power generation.
Our flagship life extension propulsion unit is designed for rapid integration and long-duration operation in harsh LEO and GEO environments. Featuring autonomous orbit determination and closed-loop control, the X1 module can add up to 5 years of operational life to standard 3-axis stabilized satellites.
A streamlined workflow to minimize disruption and maximize return on investment.
AI-driven analysis of remaining propellant, orbital decay, and hardware health to determine extension potential.
Engineering team designs a tailored mitigation strategy including hardware specs, timeline, and ROI forecast.
Hardware manufacturing, rigorous testing, and deployment via our partner launch vehicle network.
Autonomous rendezvous, attachment, and long-term station-keeping management by AeroVance Operations.
When the StarLink-4 relay satellite experienced premature thruster failure at year 6 of an 8-year design life, AeroVance was engaged to prevent a $200M revenue loss. Our PropVance X1 module was integrated and deployed within 75 days, restoring station-keeping and extending the mission by 4 years.
