"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.

"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.
