Speeding through the solar system

Article Abstract:

Fusion-based rocket propulsion systems were proven to be the most reliable approach in accomplishing robotic missions. The use of fusion power in terrestrial activities has been studied for many years but it was never attained. However, developments that ensure its success have been made.

Dawn of the microrocket: a space technology of the small

Article Abstract:

Budget constraints since roughly the mid 1980s has forced space-based research to do more with less. To keep costs low, space scientists are relying on miniaturization. NASA for one is engaging in a project which relies on the production of tens to hundreds of nanosatellites.
