TRANSCRIPT
WORLD’S MOST EFFICIENT FUEL & ENGINE FOR SATELLITES
Revolutionizing Space for the Life on Earth
One day every problem on the Earth will
be solved using SPACE,
Sustainably and Safely
Directly Indirectly Spinoff
WE HAVE A DREAM
SPACE FOR EARTH
HUMANS WILL BE MULTIPLANETARY SPECIES
Solutions for Mars,
Same Solutions for Earth
EARTH IMAGINGEYES IN SPACE MONITORING
IN REALTIME CROPS, DISASTERS
Network of high definition imaging
satellites monitoring all the details
on earth like disaster, crops,
borders in real time
INTERNET
TO THE REST OF THE 3.5 BILLION
PEOPLE THROUGH SATELLITES
Thousands of satellites in
constellations are planned for
providing internet to the last
person on the earth
FUEL
BANNED
Current fuel (Hydrazine) to
be banned by Europe and US government
by 2021* due to high-toxicity
High cost of operationdue to high toxicity
Increased cost of satellite due to low performance of fuel

BUT SPACE FUTURE IS IN REAL DANGER
SATELLITES ARE FACING 3 MAJOR PROBLEMS
BANNED FUEL
Current fuel (Hydrazine) used in satellite
is to be banned by ’21 by Europe and
US governments

PROBLEM 1
Bhopal Gas TrgedyDecember 2nd, 1984
BHOPAL GAS
TRAGEDY ‘84
20,000 died,
6,00,000 affected
2 times toxic
than gas of
Bhopal Gas Tragedy
Cancer causing
fuel
HIGH COST OF OPERATION
due to increased safety, precautions,
constraints, duration
PROBLEM 2
60% higher cost of operation
due to high toxicity
*https://spacenews.com/hydrazine-ban-could-cost-europes-space-industry-billions/**http://newsroom.ucla.edu/releases/Workers-Exposed-to-High-Levels-1129
HIGH LAUNCH COST
due to low efficiency of fuel, more fuel needs to be
carried hence heavy satellite & high launch cost
$50K to launch just 1kg payload to Low Earth Orbit
Higher efficiency, smaller vehicle
PROBLEM 3
WE CREATED SATELLITE FUEL OUT OF HOUSE HOLD CHEMICALS
Hydrogen Peroxide from
your first aid medical kitAlcohol from your bar counter Satellite Fuel
