Defense & imaging
Persistent VLEO for missile defense, remote sensing, SAR + optical, and high-resolution imaging.
Plasma propulsion company
We keep satellites flying in VLEO — the lowest orbits.
JivaJet builds plasma propulsion that holds satellites where nothing else can.
Our purpose
Plasma is one of science’s most versatile — and least-used — forces.
We apply it where conventional approaches reach their limits — sustaining satellites where atmospheric drag is strongest, in orbits nothing else can hold.
Fly lower.See better.Connect better.Stay cleaner.
Pioneering propulsion, possible with plasma.
The opportunity
Ultra-VLEO and VLEO are the next orbital frontier.
These orbits are strategically and commercially valuable — yet inaccessible to conventional propulsion. Persistence down there needs a propulsion-first approach, and JivaJet is built to deliver it.
Propulsion first
Sustained flight in the lowest orbit.
Propulsion is what enables access to VLEO and Ultra-VLEO. HyABPT collects and ionizes the atmosphere itself for propellant-less thrust in Ultra-VLEO. JJ Drive delivers compact electric mobility across LEO and VLEO — where conventional propulsion cannot hold orbit.
Flagship platform
Meet HyABPT.
The compressor-less air-breathing plasma thruster, engineered to hold orbits nothing else can — and inspiration for DARPA’s Charge Harmony program.
Second platform
Meet JJ Drive.
The compact metal-propellant electric propulsion system for LEO and VLEO mobility — station-keeping, phasing, collision avoidance, and disposal support — engineered to outperform FEEP, iodine, and low-power Hall thrusters.
What plasma unlocks
A persistent service layer at the edge of space.
Once a satellite can dwell in VLEO, direct-to-device connectivity, earth observation, IR, and SAR all get sharper — and the security picture gets stronger. JivaJet’s plasma propulsion is what makes staying there possible.
Connectivity & IoT
Low-latency connectivity, direct-to-device links, and IoT / LP-WAN from the lowest orbits.
Space resilience
Maneuverability in contested orbits, debris mitigation, and detection & tracking.
Leadership
Deep expertise across engineering, science, and execution.
Founders, scientists, and advisors from GWU, NASA, DARPA-adjacent programs, and the defense and satellite industries.
