MIT researchers used micro-manufacturing technologies to build ion thrusters smaller than a penny that could propel CubeSats in space. Smaller than a milk carton, CubSats are relatively inexpensive and several can be delivered into orbit on a single rocket. From MIT News: Engineering propulsion systems for small satellites could solve the problem of space junk: [...]Original Link: http://feeds.boingboing.net/~r/boingboing/iBag/~3/7nB-AMqyIUQ/penny-sized-thrusters-for-micr.html
