SFE Generation 3
So now we are in the 3rd generation of the SFE or Gen 3. Unlike the prior version Gen 3 takes advantage of everything we have learned about how to produce the SFE effect.
​
The Gen 3 devices share a similar pedigree to their predecessors, but how we produce the SFE effect is different in that we control a lot more of the variables and properties that lead to the underlying effect.
​
From the beginning 3rd generation devices are being designed with CubeSats in mind. So they are small, low power and highly reliable.
Below you can see how a 3rd generation thruster would fit inside a 6U CubeSat to provide continues propulsive force at extremely low orbits. This would allow for dramatic improvements in signal strength, signal latency reduction and optical clarity and resolution.
​
No matter what optic package you choose, it will always do better at lower orbits.
​
So SFE provides the satellite operator with a competitive edge not achievable by any other system in the market today.
