摘要： A rocket propulsion system comprising a first cryogenic tank and a second cryogenic tank, wherein the first cryogenic tank is filled with a first propellant, and the second cryogenic tank is filled with a second propellant, for purposes of feeding at least one repeatedly ignitable main propulsion unit in a propulsion phase of the rocket propulsion system. For purposes of tank pressurization via at least a low level of acceleration in a ballistic phase, a first auxiliary propulsion unit can be operated by means of a first gas pressure accumulator, and at least one further auxiliary propulsion unit can be operated by means of a further gas pressure accumulator, and the rocket propulsion system is assigned an energy conversion unit, which is designed at least to charge the first and the second gas pressure accumulator, preferably in the ballistic phase.

摘要： The present invention discloses an electric field propulsion system for spacecraft. The system includes a capacitor stack comprising an array of supercapacitors. Solid-state electronic circuits generate modulated currents and electric fields in pulse coils. The pulse coils direct the electric fields onto separated electric charges stored in the capacitor stack. The resulting unidirectional Lorentz Forces thereby generate thrust without reaction mass. Reaction momentum is carried away by Poynting Vector fields in conformity with the currently understood principles of electrodynamics. The design is scalable down to micro-chip sized thrusters.

摘要： The instant invention relates to improved means for the storage of H2 and O2, wherein the H2 and/or the O2 is stored on a vessel, ship or other non-Earth body in Space, whether manned or unmanned. Further, the instant invention relates to improved means for the storage of fuel, preferably hydrogen (H2) and oxidizer, preferably oxygen (O2), wherein the H2 and O2 are obtained from at least one storage tank or obtained by electrolysis of water (H2O). The instant invention does not require a hydrocarbon fuel source. H2O is the primary product of combustion; while in many embodiments of the instant invention, H2O is separated into H2 and O2, thereby making H2O an efficient method of storing fuel and oxidizer.
