Versatile, Low-cost, High Delta-V Small Spacecraft Transfer Stage

To meet the NASA need, GigEngineer Inc. (“Gig”) proposes to develop a new Versatile, Low-cost, High Delta-V Small Spacecraft Transfer Stage ("Hohmann"). it can be used by NASA to close the small spacecraft orbit transfer capability gap by enabling small spacecraft payloads in the near term to the cislunar environment, with longer term potential for farther destinations such as near-Earth objects, Mars, or Venus. The Phase I funding will be used to advance the complete Hohmann vehicle to Preliminary Design Review maturity, fabricate and test key materials, and prototype vehicle components. With delta-v capability exceeding 4 km/sec, Hohmann is well suited for a variety on non-NASA missions, such as DoD NSS, and commercial (e.g., communication) satellite boost to MEO or GEO.
