Its ironic that skeptics of the EM drive not only refuse to consider the actual, empirical evidence, but also oppose testing it in the only way that is beyond dispute.
- beevai142 10y agoIt has already been independently tested (TU Dresden, NWPU). They saw only noise.
- dzdt 10y agoA tiny satellite in low earth orbit is a stunt, not a platform for high precision physics measurements. For the satellite, there is atmosphere drag, magnetic fields, outgassing, etc, all probably bigger effects than the claimed drive effect! Earth bound labs have much greater control of variables, reproducability, possibility to measure related quantities, possibility to run variations on experiments. The reasons to do the satellite are (1) PR (2) wanting to NOT disprove the effect.
