A mass propelled device is described. The mass propelled device includes an evaporation chamber. The evaporation chamber has at least one transparent substrate configured to receive light on a first surface and a plurality of nanostructures disposed on a second surface opposite the first surface. The plurality of nanostructures excite electrons in response to light being provided to the first surface. The mass propelled device also includes propellent storage to store propellent and a propellent delivery system to provide propellent from the propellent storage component to the evaporation chamber. The evaporation chamber is configured to heat the propellent using electrons. The mass propelled device also includes at least one nozzle configured to exhaust heated propellent from the evaporation chamber in order to produce thrust.
