Can anyone update us on the status of mini magnetosphere plasma
propulsion (M2P2)? The website,

http://www.geophys.washington.edu/Sp...aceModel/M2P2/

is a couple years out of date, and I hesitate to bug the principals
uninvited. The idea seems so appealing -- high effective specific
impulse, radiation protection, etc. -- but perhaps there is a hitch.
Are there plans to test a vehicle in space?

Stuart, Robert Winglee and John Slough are a very nice guys and would
porbably enjoy your contacting them and it would seem you have the
easy means to do so. Any phone on campus and the four digit number...

I wouldn't buy most of what has been posted to this thread. Part of
why the website might not be changing is the lack of a student
interested in doing the work.
