Sphere Gateway: A web application to help guide customers from initial product exposure to satellite operations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nMorpheus\u2019s new proprietary metal alloy propellant for MultiFEEP and NanoFEEP is non-toxic, non-corrosive, requires no special transportation or handling and is designed to provide satellites with continuous thrust for more than five years, Bock said. Because few satellites in low Earth orbit need that much thrust, Morpheus has developed a cost model to ensure customers pay only $1,000 per propulsion module.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the upfront cost,\u201d said Istv\u00e1n L\u0151rincz, Morpheus co-founder and president. \u201cThen you can either pay on demand for usage of the propulsion system or you can go into the subscription model where you basically get a budget for propellant or movability for a certain time.\u201d<\/p>\n
L\u0151rincz compares it to a mobile phone contract that provides a certain level of data throughput.<\/p>\n
After extensive work to come up with the subscription model, Morpheus is inviting other satellite component manufacturers to adopt it as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe upside here for our customers is the lower upfront costs and the shift in mentality,\u201d L\u0151rincz said. \u201cPropulsion is not a feature or an extra. It\u2019s something that has to contribute to the company\u2019s bottom line, like ground stations. If you didn\u2019t have ground stations, you wouldn\u2019t be able to generate profits.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morpheus developed its Sphere ecosystem after meeting with satellite constellation developers to understand their needs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe saw that different constellation providers were doing similar things but with different approaches,\u201d L\u0151rincz said. \u201cWe wanted to take off that burden. We need more automation in this industry to make it more accessible to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
