Primex is a maker of rocket engines, for example for Lockheed Martin's Athena 2. It carries four Primex MR107 hydrazine-fueled engines that are used for the orbital adjustment module. They already were used on the Athena I, the same engines for the same purpose.

From Appendix 7: The Primex Aerospace Company (PAC) offers chemical rocket propulsion systems based on hydrazine technology.

-They are considered low cost for all types of small space ship and satellite maneuvering engines.

-They also make accessories such as gas generators, hot gas to pressurize tanks, etc.
