Abstract
An electrodynamic assembly for propelling a spacecraft in orbit around a celestial body having a magnetic field is disclosed. The assembly includes a plurality of coaxial cables for an electrodynamic assembly for propelling a spacecraft in orbit around a celestial body having a magnetic field. Each coaxial cable includes an electrically conductive core surrounded by a first electrically insulating sheath, and an electrically conductive current return circuit mounted outside the first electrically insulating sheath. The current return circuit includes a first end electrically connected to a first end of the core of the coaxial cable.
