Metal Print : Electromagnetic formation flight testbed
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Electromagnetic formation flight testbed
Electromagnetic formation flight testbed (EMFF). Researcher examines the EMFF testbed. This machine is designed to test alternative forms of propulsion for future formation-flying space satellites. Two superconducting coils surround test equipment which is attached to a base suspended by a gas supply. The base spins in response to varying electromagnetic forces. Current experimental formation-flying satellites rely on tanks of propellant gas to manoeuvre, which require frequent replacement. An electromagnetic system allows groups of satellites to manoeuvre by repelling or attracting one another without the need for a gas propellant.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a dedicated researcher meticulously examines the Electromagnetic Formation Flight Testbed (EMFF) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2005. This remarkable machine was specifically designed to test alternative forms of propulsion for future formation-flying space satellites. The EMFF testbed showcases two superconducting coils enveloping the test equipment, which is securely attached to a suspended base powered by gas supply. As electromagnetic forces fluctuate, the base gracefully spins in response. Unlike current experimental formation-flying satellites that rely on propellant gas tanks requiring frequent replacement, this innovative electromagnetic system allows groups of satellites to maneuver by repelling or attracting one another without any need for gas propellants. This photograph beautifully captures not only the intricate machinery involved but also highlights the cutting-edge research being conducted in aerospace engineering and technology. The scientist featured here represents countless hours spent researching and analyzing data as they strive to unlock new possibilities in satellite propulsion systems. Dr. Edmund Kong's pioneering work within MIT's Space Systems Laboratory has undoubtedly contributed immensely to advancements in astronautics and aeronautics. Through his dedication and expertise, he pushes boundaries and explores new frontiers in technological innovation. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of humanity's relentless pursuit of scientific progress and our unwavering commitment to unraveling the mysteries of space exploration.
