"Spacecraft Carrying Experimental Quantum Drive Lost in Space"

The experimental quantum drive, intended to demonstrate thrust without propellant, is missing and presumed lost in space after contact was lost with the Barry-1 cubesat. The drive, developed by IVO Ltd, is controversial due to its potential to defy the law of conservation of momentum. Previous attempts to create similar drives, such as the EmDrive, have been met with skepticism and explanations rooted in conventional physics. With the IVO drive lost in space and the laws of physics still holding true, the extraordinary claims surrounding it remain unproven.

"Experimental Quantum Drive Spacecraft Goes Silent in Deep Space"

Contact has been lost with a spacecraft carrying an experimental quantum drive, which was intended to demonstrate a propellantless propulsion system's ability to alter the satellite's orbit. The test, involving the highly controversial quantum drive developed by IVO limited, failed to initiate before the satellite fell silent due to ongoing power-system issues. Despite skepticism from scientists, IVO claims its quantum drive could be significantly more efficient than existing ion drives, but the technology has yet to be proven in large-scale tests, let alone in space. Undeterred by the setback, IVO plans to conduct further orbital tests with the quantum drive, despite the unceremonious end to the initial demonstration.

"Quantum Drive Test Derailed by Satellite Malfunction"

Rogue Space Systems' Barry 1 satellite experienced a power-system failure before it could test IVO Ltd.’s controversial Quantum Drive propellantless propulsion system, leading to the loss of all communication with the satellite. Despite the setback, both companies are exploring future launch opportunities to test the Quantum Drive in space, which is part of an emerging and controversial class of experimental propulsion systems claiming to generate measurable thrust without any propellant. The failure has been met with a mix of frustration and hope in the Alternative Propulsion Community, with plans to include recent improvements in future test flights.

Revolutionary Rocket Technology May Enable Interstellar Travel in Record Time.

North Dakota-based wireless power company IVO Ltd. has developed an all-electric propulsion system for satellites, the IVO Quantum Drive, which will fly to space for the first time on June 10th, 2023. The system relies on the theory of Quantized Inertia (QI), which posits that Unruh radiation is the origin of inertia. If validated, the Quantum Drive could revolutionize commercial space by providing extreme efficiency, modularity, and eliminating the need for propellants, reducing a spacecraft's overall mass and increasing its payload capacity.
