The Space Technology 7 Disturbance Reduction System (ST7-DRS) is a system of thrusters, advanced avionics and software managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California. It has been ...

A penny-sized rocket thruster may soon power the smallest satellites in space. The device bears little resemblance to today’s bulky satellite engines, which are laden with valves, pipes and heavy ...

Space engineers are excited by the prospect of designing and sending tiny ‘cubesats’ into orbit — small-scale satellites that are cheap to build, easy to put into space, and can perform highly ...

Small-scale satellites show a lot promise, but unless they have equally small-scale thrusters they’re pretty limited in what they can do. Unfortunately conventional thrusters are heavy and take up a ...

The ISP Lab has invented and patented a novel form of electrospray propulsion that may lead to better microthrusters for cubesats. Ferromagnetic nanoparticles are suspended in an ionic liquid ...

Bus-sized satellites require massive engines for even the slightest movements, but as far smaller structures become a possibility, a tiny driving mechanism can offer usable thrust. To serve this ...
