With its design, production and test facilities, Lampoldshausen site near Heilbronn features among Europe's most prominent manufacturers of thrusters and propulsion systems. In order to obtain maximum service life from satellites while still achieving the greatest possible savings in terms of launch weight, the engineers in Lampoldshausen developed the Unified Propulsion System. UPS is a combination of up to 16 thrusters with 10 N thrust for orbit and attitude control and an apogee motor with
400 N thrust, both of which are fuelled by two or four propellant tanks. With over 50 satellites maintaining trouble-free operation using this propulsion system - and additional more than 110 monopropellant hydrazine propulsion systems produced for satellites and probes - some for more than ten years now - Lampoldshausen can be counted among the world market leaders in this segment.
