Draco thrusters generate approximately 90 pounds of thrust using storable propellants with long on-orbit lifetimes.
These storable propellants have very long on-orbit lifetimes, providing the option for the Dragon spacecraft to remain berthed at the ISS for a year or more, ready to serve as an emergency "lifeboat" if necessary.
Team members also include Aerojet of Sacramento which will produce the storable propellant liquid upper stages.
