Vigoride is Momentus' orbital transfer vehicle using water-plasma propulsion to transport and deploy satellites in orbit.
Vigoride is Momentus' orbital transfer vehicle product line, propelled by the company's water-plasma microwave electrothermal thruster. It ferries small satellites from a rideshare drop-off orbit to their intended operational orbits and can also host payloads.
Offered as an in-space transportation and orbital-positioning service, Vigoride competes directly with other commercial orbital transfer vehicles serving satellite operators seeking last-mile delivery.
