Purdue University researchers have created a plasma drive rocket engine for CubeSats – satellites that can be as small as 100 x 100 x 100mm, and seldom have any motive power. The thruster is a small arc type, running at tens of amps for hundreds of microseconds. Purdue’s latest contribution is not the whole thuster, ...
