Submission + - Propellantless drive for satellites to be tested
drwho writes: A new type of propulsion system which uses no propellant, but rather only electricity, is to be tested in a satellite to be launched from June tenth's Falcon 9 launch. The IVO Quantum Drive utilizes an alternative theory of inertia known as 'Quantum Inertia', by its originator Prof. Mike McCullough of U. Plymouth, which seeks to reconcile General Relativity with Quantum Field Theory. If successful, this would herald in a new era not only in satellite technology but in space travel as a whole.
