Spatial motion without material propulsionThe retrograde system of a space vehicle is described which permits motion in space without the projection of gas by rotor or jet engine. It is composed of masses, which accelerate, decelerate and guide the center of gravity in space in an ordered actuation. The invention may be used to replace rotors and jet engines of our present space vehicles. In space, it may use electrical solar energy and develop indefinitely in the solar system.
