Iridium Catalysed Electrolysis CubeSat Thruster (ICE-Cube Thruster)
They must've gotten a kick from that acronym. I do and I didn't make it up.
Being able to electrolyse water on-the-spot seems interesting, its energy inefficient but serves a similar role to ion thrusters I guess
It might actually be more efficient than keeping cyrogenic hydrogen cooled if the mission takes multiple decades and you don't need the fuel most of the time - for example in a Pluto orbiter
Yeah, cooling needs energy, could be very useful for very small satellites
I’d love to see that in action 
Well, this sent me down the rabbit hole for over an hour.
This is cool as hell. But I feel like having a supply of potable water in space is kinda difficult?
That's a neat idea
