ExoTerra's 12U Agile Inspector CubeSat uses technology developed for deep space NASA missions to enable transit from LEO to GEO by a 12U CubeSat. This enables an affordable mission that can improve the ability to observe objects in GEO by over an order of magnitude. The system uses an iodine electric propulsion system and high specific power solar arrays to provide over 6 km/s of delta V at the highest thrust to weight ratio available in the industry. This minimizes trip time through the Van Allen belts to reduce radiation levels and rapidly begin operations.
