Japanese research group (1994–1996) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Advanced Space Propulsion Investigation Committee (ASPIC) was a research group of specialists, including Yoshinari Minami[1] and Takaaki Musha,[2] which was organized under the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences in 1994. Its purpose was to study various non-chemical space propulsion systems[3] instead of the conventional rocket for the use of space missions to near-Earth, the Moon, and the outer solar system, including plasma propulsion, laser propulsion, nuclear propulsion, solar sail and field propulsion systems which utilize a strain on space, zero-point energy in a vacuum, electro-gravitic effect[further explanation needed], non-Newtonian gravitic effect predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity,[4] and the terrestrial magnetism. The research report was published by the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences in March 1996.[5]
