how much of a propulsion system could you feasibly pack in a cubesat?
- geerlingguy 1y agoVery very little, but not nothing. I've seen a few tiny deployable solar sails and a few tiny electric motors in my brief research for my video. They seem mostly experimental, to test out theories and miniaturization.
