K2 Space

I like K2 quite a bit. They were one of the first companies to start building much bigger as other firms ran towards smallsats, and they’re dramatically cutting costs for big systems. When they can finally bring Giga online that will make a bunch of applications possible.
 
Before anyone gets too excited, that's potentially 1N of thrust.
 
I’m curious why that’s an issue, when high thrust is deliberately outside of the target design, and satellites with a smaller power budget could take about two to four times the duration to reach the same orbit. If you want high thrust with electric propulsion (and how are you defining ‘high’?) you’d need tens of megawatts or more.
