CID (CENTRIFUGAL IMPULSE DRIVE) PROPELLANTLESS PROPULSION

Quantum Dynamics Enterprises Inc. 

Our CID technology extends the useful life of satellites, effectively doubling their lifespan by reducing the liftoff payload weight attributed to the propellant required over the satellite's lifetime. The cost of a space launch can vary depending on many factors, including the payload weight, destination, and type of rocket used. Recently, the average price of a single space launch can range from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of dollars.

SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket launches have been advertised at around $62 million per launch, while larger rockets like the Falcon Heavy can cost upwards of $90 million per launch. On the higher end, NASA’s Space Launch System (SLS) is estimated to cost over $2 billion per launch.

Considering the cost of approximately $90 million to launch a satellite into orbit, extending the longevity translates to significant savings and enhanced operational efficiency for satellite operators and users alike.

Quantum's competitive edge in the satellite industry stems from a groundbreaking shift in orbit technology and propulsion.  Traditional satellites operate in High Earth Orbit 

(HEO), returning to the same position in the sky each day, approximately 22,236 miles above the Earth's equator.  HEO satellites suffer from service delays due to distance and weak signal strength, affecting activities like video conferences, phone calls, and other forms of digital communication.  However, our priority technology will allow satellite companies to deploy satellites in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), just 1,200 miles above the Earth.

CID will allow a satellite to be placed in geosynchronous LEO, experience stronger signal strength, and cover a much larger portion of the Earth's surface with less equipment and propellant needed for support. By utilizing LEO orbit, Quantum’s technology in use on satellites will enable benefits such as high-speed internet access on a global scale. With just a few satellites, companies can provide strong signals to cover the entire planet, resulting in substantial cost savings for satellite subscribers that can be passed on to consumers.

The increasing number of satellites in orbit poses challenges, particularly regarding space debris.  According to the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), as of March 2020, approximately 2,666 active satellites are orbiting Earth, representing 46% of all objects in space.  This number has increased by 40% in the past 15 months alone.  It's important to note that among these objects are 3,108 inactive satellites, contributing to the accumulation of space debris.
