Application of EMdrive in small satellites for searching of damages in the manned and automatic spacecraft for any purpose.
CubeSat-M (called 1M = 1х1х1 meter) using EMdrive as main and shunting engines to repair and maintain of the ISS, manned and automated spacecraft for any purpose, as an astronaut tug.
The idea is to create small satellites for the maintenance of different manned and automatic spacecraft for any purpose, where EMdrive is used as the main engines that do not require propellant.
In the satellite to perform any work there are manipulators with the various lengths interchangeable tools and video cameras. There are up to 8 such manipulators for called 1M, up to 12 for called 2M.
Such number of manipulators with video cameras allow qualitatively examining the surface of the spacecraft in case of damage and air leakage, as well as performing remote repair work to repair damages.
Also it is possible to use this satellite as a towing device for moving an astronaut in space.
EMdrive engines do not use a propellant to move in space, but move the satellite due to the conversion of electrical energy into straight-line motion.
Despite the problems of the first EMdrive developers, several types of EMdrive have been developed, using various physical processes, and mathematical algorithms have been developed for calculating various thrust. At present, it is possible to create EMdrive with a thrust up to 100 Newton, the limitation is the power of the source of electricity in space.
Currently, a primary patent search is being completed for patent purity of both the design and the EMdrive calculation methodology of the new design.
