Cubesat to big for your purposes, how about a Suncube at 3x3x3cm. A 1U can carry 9 Sun cubes. http://www.thespacereview.com/article/2984/1Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

There are some systems close to 3km/s, may do earth escape but leaves nothing in tank for mission.http://forum.nasaspaceflight.com/index.php?topic=35143.msg1227561.msg#1227561It looks like the University of Michigan has licensed Phase Four to manufacture the CAT thruster.

Industry record: AstroTube, world's longest retractable cubesat boom system successfully deployed. Thanks to all who made it possible!
AstroTube is a test of the world’s longest retractable boom compatible with the CubeSat form factor. In this test flight, it deploys to a length of two meters and only occupies the volume of a packet of cigarettes when in its stowed configuration. Boom technology for small satellites is an important part for future passive deorbiting systems.The boom system requires around 0.5U of volume and supports a high-precision deployment with an accuracy of +/-0.25 millimeters. The boom itself consists of composite material and allows for partial deployment without losing structural integrity. Possible applications of the boom are for payload deployment and retraction, solar panel and antenna deployment, and deorbit structures. Because the boom is deployed with a motor and does not have any stored energy, its deployment will avoid any shocks to the satellite structure and its instruments.A scaled-up version of the boom design known as AstroTube Max can support lengths of 12 meters.
Given cubesats are built on smartphone technology, it was only matter of time before somebody gave them a selfie stick.
