Portal Space Systems
In-space transportation systems
Overview
Portal Space Systems develops highly maneuverable spacecraft for moving payloads between orbits. Its Supernova vehicle uses solar thermal propulsion, concentrating sunlight to heat propellant, to deliver both high thrust and large orbit changes, and the company has also announced a smaller spacecraft called Starburst. Based in Bothell, Washington, Portal targets national security, civil, and commercial missions that need rapid orbital mobility.
