As the control valve of the propulsion system engine, the electromagnetic valve play an important role in attitude and orbit control for spacecraft. While the leak of the electromagnetic valve has always been the main cause of the failure of the propulsion system. Due to the shell’s complex structure as well as many seam weld on it, the normal NDT is unfit to check out some small cracks and mic...

The equations of physics, generally, are invariant under the symmetry groups of infinitesimal space and time translations. This means that energy and momentum are conserved in “isolated” systems, that is, systems that do not couple physically to anything outside of themselves. Among the propellantless propulsion schemes of interest in the context of “breakthrough propulsion physics”, however, a...

As is known the repulsion of the volume elements of an uniformly accelerating charge or a charge supported in an uniform gravitational field accounts for the electromagnetic contribution to the charge’s inertial and gravitational mass, respectively. This means that the mutual repulsion of the volume elements of the charge produces the resistance to its accelerated motion. Conversely, the effect...
