An electrospray motor was manufactured using 3D printing to produce propulsion systems for satellites directly in space.

This 3D printing technology could allow astronauts to manufacture satellite engines in space, eliminating the need for Earth-based launches.

Engineers at MIT have created a fully 3D-printed engine that could change the way small satellites move in space. This new ...

Electrospray (ES) thrusters generate low thrust via the electrostatic extraction of charged species from an electrified liquid. These systems are characterized by the propellant used and emission mode ...

MIT engineers have demonstrated the first fully 3D-printed, droplet-emitting electrospray engine. The device, which would be ideal for enabling small satellites to make in-orbit maneuvers, can be ...

Electrospray engines produce thrust by shooting out a stream of highly charged droplets. The MIT researchers used a precise fabrication method that enhances the electrohydrodynamic reaction that ...

Scientists are revolutionizing electrospray deposition by integrating AI and modeling to precisely control ultra-thin films, paving the way for smarter, more efficient manufacturing in electronics ...

An electrospray engine applies an electric field to a conductive liquid – generating a high-speed jet of tiny droplets that can propel a spacecraft. These miniature engines are ideal for small ...
