Twenty Liftero BOOSTER thrusters are now committed for delivery in 2026, following a new contract with an in-orbit servicing spacecraft manufacturer ordering a 6-DOF BOOSTER green chemical propulsion system. 

Liftero has signed a contract with a new customer, active in the in-orbit servicing segment. The customer plans to use BOOSTER for RPO maneuvers in an upcoming mission, leveraging its 6-DOF capability. This extends a commercial run that now spans multiple spacecraft and develops the order backlog during the first year of BOOSTER’s commercialization. All 20 thrusters already under contract are slated to reach orbit in the first half of 2027.

The milestone follows RED5, Liftero’s 2025 flight demonstration mission, which continues to return maneuver data from orbit. Both the BOOSTER in-orbit operations and extensive ground-testing data demonstrate that the product is ready for market adoption and delivers superior performance. 

Orders like this are building our confidence that BOOSTER solved the issues of other green chemical propulsion systems while offering some of the highest performance in the market. We were chosen over established competing products, despite Liftero being a newer supplier. This and the scheduled missions will add to our flight heritage and accelerate the market adoption.
