Which kind of #ElectricPropulsion ⚡ is used for #Starlink V2 ?
spaceflight, 6 months ago 📆 Nov 17, 2023 After decades of arguments, experiments, claims and counter-claims, a #satellite 🛰️ smaller than a shoebox is preparing to activate a #propellentless drive in #space for the first time. #Satellites typically have #electric drives which propel tiny quantities of ionized gas at extreme speeds to give little pulses of thrust. Developers claim the #QuantumDrive goes beyond Newton using non-Newtonian relativity and #QuantumPhysics. https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhambling/2023/11/17/controversial-quantum-space-drive-in-orbital-test-others-to-follow/
