Digital Solid State Propulsion, Inc.
Digital Solid State Propulsion, Inc. is a Nevada based business that develops and produces safe, “green” energetic materials for defense, space, and commercial markets. Our innovative materials are environmentally friendly to produce and use, with no waste in the production process and benign gas products from combustion. They are insensitive to shock, flame and electrostatic discharge, making them safe to store and handle, only being initiated by electrical input. Our electrically-throttled propellants are widely recognized as the world’s first smart energetic materials and the technology can be used in a wide variety of applications such as in igniters, squibs, rocket motors, thrusters, and special effects.
History
DSSP was founded in October 2005 with just one employee. Since then, we have expanded to nearly 20 employees and interns and over a dozen dogs. Some of our customers have included DARPA, NASA, and the US Navy. We have won various awards throughout our short history in the propulsion and pyrotechnic industry, and have recently become the first energetic material allowed on board the International Space Station!
