Pinot User-friendly system for Small Satellites
Pressurization in orbit
Name of “Pinot” is an acronym of Pressurization in Orbit system and it was inspired by small satellites stored in a rocket resembled to a bunch of grapes.
Green Propellant
Pinot –”G” represents safe and environmental friendliness of the product. HNP225 has developed as green propellant for safer handlings at the launch site. As small satellites are resemble as Pinot Grapes, Pinot-Blanc wine is to represents fuel of Pinot-G.
Feature
High Pressure Gas regulations Free / Air-transportable package.
Enhanced Safety
Zero usage of Hydrazine
Non-explosive Propellant.
Handling safety will be enhanced with newly developed HNP225 (Green Propellant).
The propellant is officially endorsed as “Not a Class 1 substance” by NKKK*.
(NKKK: Nippon Kaiji Kentei Kyokai)
HNP225
HNP225 Green Propellant has been developed by IHI Aerospace.
It enables us to ship the product by air.
All in One
All required elements are integrated in one unit.
All You have to do is to plug into the connector.
Integrated components
- Thrusters
- Propellant Tanks and feed system ( Filled in Japan and ship it to you)
- Built-in control electronics
Cost Efficiency
Utilizing Additive Manufactured Thrusters
Additive Manufacturing technology enabled to reduce its lead-time and cost.
Less work at the launch site
Propellants are already loaded at shipping and ready to be assembled at the site.
