TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION

Launching Spacecraft into Space Using Microwaves


Researchers at Escape Dynamics, Colorado planned to push spacecraft into space with microwaves instead of using rocket.  ED builds thruster on the ground to beam aircraft which carry hydrogen to push spacecraft into space. The microwaves on the ground would hit the shield of the aircraft bottom and would heat hydrogen as it’s coming out from a tank then push space craft into space. There is safety issue still in consideration as the microwaves beam from the ground to the distant aircraft in space. (TI01/TE/21/Sep/15)
