You may not be aware, but most recce sats are nuclear powered, and
the
fuel to scoot them around does not have to be combustible.

I think your mixing two different power needs. If the birds are
carrying nuclear powered
energy cells that's simply for the electrical circuits. To move a
satellite requires propellant
(and it had better NOT be combustible) that once used cannot be
renewed.

An electric plasma engine can address your issue of electric propulsion.
A
teflon electric engine can fire many times.

You still need reaction mass, no matter how you're moving the vehicle
(unless you've got the mystical gravity drive).

The teflon becomes the reaction mass.

Damn it Peter, now you've gone an done it.

Just wait patiently by the door for the men in black suits...

I would like to apologize for distressing the group by making false
statements about the alleged gravity drive, which everybody next
page knows does not exist. If such a drive did exist then of course
the United States Government next page would announce it to the
world and not try to keep it hidden. I am so ashamed by my words that
I will voluntarily and of my own next page free will refrain from
posting anything more to any groups for 7 years (or 4 if I behave
myself), subject to appeal. Thank you for your attention.
