Scientific paper

This study is motivated by previous proposals for electromagnetic launchers (EML) to launch payloads from the moon and space stations. With the advent of modern computer-controlled attitude and velocity control systems on the payload it is possible for EML to decelerate as well as launch payloads. In view of this, a two-way EML-equipped design to generate significant outward velocity without loss of reaction mass is realized. This model indicates that, in-addition to L1 stationkeeping, satellite could be pushed away from planets, or planets away from the sun, without loss of reaction mass.
