Godin Receives Award for Research on New Propulsion Method for Low-Cost Microsatellites

Thanks to the development of microsatellites, universities and independents can now launch research craft for tens of thousands of dollars, rather than the multi-million dollar price tags of traditional launches. This new class of satellite is democratizing outer space exploration and offering NASA new opportunities to study little-known regions of the Earth’s atmosphere. Kyle Godin, an Interdisciplinary Engineering PhD student at Stevens, recently demonstrated a new method for propelling some of these miniaturized satellites. The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics...
