Scientists at MIT have cracked a major space travel puzzle: one fuel that powers two completely different types of rocket engines. This breakthrough could let shoebox-sized satellites explore Mars and beyond at a fraction of today's cost.
Small satellites could soon do twice as much science with half the fuel thanks to a breakthrough propulsion system. NASA is testing the game-changing technology in space later this year.
Engineers just cracked the code to send briefcase-sized satellites to Mars using thumbnail-sized thrusters that run on a single, safer fuel. This breakthrough could make deep space exploration cheaper and more accessible than ever before.
