Waiting for the publication of the NASA Eagleworks EmDrive paper in December, some preliminary results could be revealed at a select, invitation-only three-day workshop in Colorado, which starts today. Besides EmDrive science, the workshop will cover many other propulsion physics breakthrough research projects.
A few weeks ago Hacked covered rumors that a new EmDrive paper by NASA scientists at the Advanced Propulsion Physics Laboratory – aka Eagleworks – had been accepted for publication in the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA)’s Journal of Propulsion and Power, a prestigious peer-reviewed scientific journal.
AIAA then confirmed that the paper, titled “Measurement of Impulsive Thrust from a Closed Radio Frequency Cavity in Vacuum,” will be published in the December issue of the journal.
While there are hints that the paper, which has passed peer review, reports positive results, not much more is known at the moment. However, more information could be unveiled at a three-day workshop that starts today (September 20) at the YMCA of the Rockies in Estes Park Center, Colorado. See the last pages of the current EmDrive thread at NASASpaceFlight Forums, the unofficial meting point of EmDrive researchers and enthusiasts. Watch the thread for frequent updates, and of course, Hacked is following the story closely.
