Already in orbit around Earth, notably. Not Sedna.

  Non-Newtonian drives have to prove they work outside the influences of a laboratory, if they work in low earth orbit, they should work anywhere. The Semi-Major Axis Altitude (SMAA) is a great proxy for orbital energy, and if they can make that number go way up, we should all take note, and start looking for new physics.

    some measured effects in such experiments happen because of, for example, magnetic interference with the lab equipment. Well, on LEO there still present the Earth magnetic field, unlike in any usable interplanetary space. Interaction with the Earth magnetic field is already used by some satellites for orientation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetorquer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetorquer
