A 48 micron thick of Aluminum/Magnesium alloy formed into a miniature External Tank that's 51 mm in diameter and 283 mm long that carries 24.85 grams of LH2 and 136.75 grams of LOX - a total of 161.52 grams of propellant carried in a 5.81 gram tank system.

This is 1/3 the thickness of soda can material made of slightly lighter materials.

The thruster is a MEMS bipropellant rocket with a 425 second Isp. A 2.5 Newton rocket array masses 260 milligrams and covers 7.23 sq mm area. This produces 1.54 gees at lift-off

The 1080i HDTV camera, laser and radio link, inertial guidance, and control system mass 14 grams and is powered by hydrogen and oxygen vented from the propellant system.

A two kilowatt propellant management and deep space communications system that is comprised of a 1 kW electrolysis unit and a 1 kW MEMS based cryocooler, electrolyzes 225 ml of water into 24.85 grams of LH2 and 136.75 grams of LOX in less than 1 hour. The system holds 1 litre of DI water and can fuel three vehicles in three hours and put them on hold for up to 24 hours and automatically launch them when desired over that period.

The entire system is controlled through a downloadable app from your iPhone6 which streams data from the launch unit via bluetooth and the unit streams from the vehicles via bluetooth when within 100 meters and via laser link at larger distances, including line of sight distances reaching into interplanetary space up to 1 Gbit/sec.

Three boosters may be launched individually or operated as a single clustered unit. The clustered unit may orbit a 35 gram satellite that carries a solar powered ion engine array capable of flying beyond Earth orbit to the Moon, Mars, Venus, Mercury, or the Asteroid belt.

These units are available from Coeus Limited of NZ. Interested parties may reply to

Prices for ready to fly systems that run on Water and AC mains range $225,000 and up.


Where's the video of your proving flight?

show it to you.

All you have to do is be a qualified buyer.


Link doesn't work for me.

If and when you have a video, it would make no commercial sense to
restrict viewing it to qualified buyers. Publish it on YouTube, and
you'll have no shortage of them.


But that means he'd actually have to build something that works BEFORE
he got your money, Sylvia.
