Could the next generation of spacecraft fit inside your pocket?
In short: While most rockets are massive ships filled with fuel and supplies, a new wave of microspacecraft is emerging. This video explores how scientists at NASA aim to use micropropulsion to launch these tiny vessels beyond Earth's orbit.
The video examines the shift from giant, traditional rockets to the development of microspacecraft. By utilizing micropropulsion, researchers at NASA hope to send these miniature vessels on missions that extend beyond Earth's orbit, potentially revolutionizing how we explore the cosmos.
