MIT’s new spacecraft engine could send tiny satellites to Mars
MIT researchers have shown that one fuel can power both chemical and electric spacecraft thrusters, potentially transforming what small satellites can do. The approach combines quick bursts of speed with highly efficient long-range propulsion in a single compact system. A NASA-supported CubeSat mission will soon test the technology in orbit.
