Cannae will try to prove propellentless propulsion in space in 2017 and has ambitious space probe designs with 33 years of constant acceleration to reach 3% of lightspeed

Despite having a setup that has been pretty much operating for years, how many data points are in the paper? Eighteen. Now, if this were a really time-consuming experiment, I wouldn’t let that bother ...

“Impossible” propellant-free microwave thruster to be tested in space

What if spacecraft didn’t need propellant to travel long distances? It might seem like an “impossible” dream, but a company is getting ready to test just such a device in outer space. Cannae ...

Can the 'impossible' space drive survive falsification in orbit?

At this point, the EM Drive will be important -- if not for revolutionizing space travel, then at least for dramatically illustrating the difficulty of taking accurate force measurements at extremely ...
