Flyby anomaly by light of superluminal
Abstract The observer contracts isotropically due to the rotation of the earth, and experiences superluminal light propagation (fly-by anomaly). What is the Flyby Anomaly? The flyby anomaly is a discrepancy between current scientific models and the actual increase in speed (i.e. increase in kinetic energy) observed during a planetary flyby (usually of Earth) by a spacecraft. In multiple cases, spacecraft have been observed to gain greater speed than scientists had predicted, but thus far no convincing explanation has been found. This anomaly has been observed as shifts in the S-band and X-band Doppler and ranging telemetry. The largest discrepancy noticed during a flyby has been 13 mm/s.[1] Possible explanations There have been a number of proposed explanations of the flyby anomaly, including: ・It has been postulated that the Flyby Anomaly is a consequence of the assumption that the speed of light is isotropic in all frames, and invariant in the method used to measure the velocity of
