What Shelf?

In this article at FoxNews, they talk about retrofitting the Hubble telescope to make it 10x as powerful, but the added weight will require an on board engine:

A wafer-shaped module with off-the-shelf commercial ion engines will be attached to the bottom of Hubble.

Will someone please tell me what shop has these ion engines on their shelves? “Yes, I’ll be needing two brake pads, a couple of door handles and an Ion engine please.”
