Press Release Date: 8/5/2026
East Aurora, NY -- Moog Inc. (NYSE: MOG.A and MOG.B), a worldwide designer, manufacturer and systems integrator of high-performance precision motion and fluid controls and control systems announces a new, High Delta-V configuration for its METEORITE (ESPA) class satellite bus to deliver greater flexibility, more maneuvering capability, and higher thrust for targeted missions. The new configuration capitalizes on the flight-proven baseline model of the Moog METEORITE bus and its radiation-tolerant components to provide increased thrust and propellant mass without requiring lengthy development and qualification programs.
The High Delta‑V METEORITE is ideal for propulsion‑intensive missions requiring high‑energy transfers, large orbital plane changes, or frequent station‑keeping. The design is tailored for missions where mobility and velocity are critical for tactical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and space domain awareness. This addition strengthens Moog as a key supplier of adaptable, mission‑ready spacecraft for commercial, civil, and national security space customers.
The METEORITE high delta-V propulsion system is developed in Moog’s propulsion production facility in Niagara Falls, NY. To meet increasing demand for Moog thrusters and propulsion systems, dedicated clean-room space is being expanded by more than 80 percent. This expansion will accelerate the assembly, integration, and testing of thrusters, enhancing capacity and delivery capability. The full bus is integrated at the Moog facility in the greater Denver area which has the capacity to integrate dozens of spacecraft per year.
“Our customers are asking for spacecraft that can move farther, respond faster, and carry increasingly capable payloads,” said Bob McArthur, Moog Space Vehicles General Manager. “These enhancements reflect Moog’s continued investment in scalable, resilient spacecraft platforms that keep pace with today’s rapidly evolving space environment.”
There are several Moog METEORITE buses on orbit, supporting national security space missions. All Moog buses are built around decades of Moog flight heritage and TRL-9 components and systems.
