Default super-precise ionic thruster

Small Engine For the Big Job of Testing Theory of Relativity | Universe
Today
"Twelve thrusters will be used for the LISA Pathfinder. Working together
with another propulsions system designed by NASA, the thrusters should
yield directional control at least 100 times more accurate than any
spacecraft before; down to a millionth of a millimeter. "
