Artist’s concept of MMS, a mission to study how magnetic fields release energy in a process known as magnetic reconnection. MMS consists of four identical observatories that will fly in a tight formation and provide the first 3-D view of magnetic reconnection.

This discovery holds important implications for understanding black holes. […] In a similar manner to ion thrusters, such as this one from the Deep Space-1 mission, electrospray technologies are low-thrust methods of propulsion and might be useful for fine maneuvers of future satellites. Photo Credit: NASA NASA’s Space Technology Program is calling for proposals to develop miniaturized electrospray propulsion technologies which could revolutionise […] |
