![As part of NASA’s Space Technology 7 project, Busek developed electrospray thrusters that max out at the weight of a fine grain of sand for the disturbance reduction system on the European Space Agency’s LISA Pathfinder spacecraft. The craft is trying out technology that could be used in the future to detect gravity waves, which are predicted by the theory of relativity but have never been directly observed.
