Orbit propulsion system by floating conductor cables

The propulsion system in orbit by floating conductive wires board a spacecraft (1) comprises two sets of electro conductive wires (2, 3) respectively connected to each of the two poles (4, 5) generating sources electrical power (6), and wherein each set is formed by at least one conductor cable. # in the presence of a plasma and a magnetic field, as is the case of a satellite orbiting the Earth's ionosphere, an electric current flows from naturally along the leads. As a result of the interaction of the magnetic field with said current, a Lorentz force is generated on the wires. This force can be used to control the orbit of the spacecraft (1) and can be varied in direction and magnitude, by generating electric power source (6) for modifying the intensity and direction of current along cables. # system efficiency depends on the space environment, the velocity of the satellite relative to the plasma, and the properties and cable design (length, section and material). The system can optimize partially isolating the cables along their length and using materials that promote electron emission thermionic or photoelectric effect. Such materials are used in the composition of cables or to coat its surface along its entire or parts of it extension. Unlike conventional propulsion systems, such as chemical or electrical rockets, or electrodynamic cables proposed to date, the proposed system requires neither propellant nor expelante.
