It's odd how the first thing that pops up on google is a 2-month old reddit post with the exact same title as the paper, linking to some NASA community forum talking about a paper being published - but the title is not actually mentioned on the NASA forum. Even better is how the subreddit in question is very active, lots of posts, plenty of comments and replies - except every one of them is by the same user.. https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/4ztoqq/measurement_of_impulsive_thrust_from_a_closed/ https://www.reddit.com/r/Physics_AWT/comments/4ztoqq/measure...

  What is that guy doing? Perhaps some sort of SEO exploitation?

I believe this is the correct link for this paper the last time it showed up on Hacker News. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12396595 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12396595 Nothing new here I believe.

A cube sat is planned to be tested in space with the EM drive: http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/energy/a22678/em-drive-cannae-cubesat-reactionless/ http://www.popularmechanics.com/science/energy/a22678/em-dri... ... and apparently the US and China are already testing a couple of them in space: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/space-race-revealed-us-china-test-futuristic-emdrive-tiangong-2-mysterious-x-37b-plane-1590289 http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/space-race-revealed-us-china-test-f...

So this paper was paper was reported to have passed peer review, back in August[0]. On a tangental note, I've been seeing people toss around the world "leaked" when nothing of the sort is happening. Most egregiously when its a FOIA request.
