The potentially worldchanging (if successful) test of a quantum drive in orbit is being delayed by rare and infrequent communication to the cubesat. These are not problems with the drive but with the communication and satellites systems of the lowcost cubesat provider. I am speculating that Rogue Systems gave IVO a low cost or free …
Richard Mansell, CEO of IVO Ltd, has announced that the Quantum Drive testing has started its initial calibration and assessment phase. All is good so far and they are excited to see the results of the upcoming tests. He said – No timeline will be made public and they will not be issuing intermediate findings. …
There are no observed changes indicating thrust. There is a propellentless drive in a satellite. The lack of observable propulsion effects could mean. The test is in the baseline data collection phase (no thrust) or the system is failing so far. Orbital data from Celestrak (as provided in the query) shows no significant change in …
Finally, we will get to see a test of the IVO quantum drive which is a propellentless drive. If it is successful in raising the orbit of the OTP-2 Rogue Space satellite (Norad tracking Satellite 63235), then it could open up access to interstellar travel and fast travel around the solar system. This is controversial …
There are two propulsion experiments on the Rogue Systems OTP2 satellite. The nanosats database has descriptions of the systems. The current satellite movement is the other propulsion system. I only care about the IVO quantum drive. It has not been turned in yet. If they are testing the other system as they appear to be …
Satellite 63235 is Rogue Space Systems’ OTP-2 satellite and the propellantless drive onboard OTP-2 is IVO’s Quantum Drive. The satellite tracking is continuing to show a shallowing of the orbital decline. UPDATE- there is a second propulsion experiment on the satellite. The other system is running now. We will have to wait a couple of …
Scott Manley is indicating that what I have been observing in the Barry-1 satellite orbital variance is not enough proof for the IVO quantum drive. UPDATE: Richard Mansell replied to me. The IVO Quantum drives have not been turned on yet. IVO is waiting on Rogue Systems. The semi-major axis continues to decay. Here is …
UPDATE: IVO CEO Richard Mansell replied to me. The IVO Quantum drives have not been turned on yet. IVO is waiting on Rogue Systems. UPDATE: We need to track the semi-major axis increasing for the evidence that the satellite is increasing its orbit and the thrusters are working. The orbits seemed different to me looking …
I have been tracking the IVO dual quantized inertia drives on the Barry-1 satellite since Jan 24, 2024. The Barry-1 satellite only has the quantized inertia drives with 0.25 millinewtons and 0.65 millinewtons of thrust. UPDATE- Orbital weirdness is normal. The drives are not activated and the Semi-Major Axis charting is what matters with orbit …
