Advanced Space Propulsion Investigation Committee

For the food, see Aspic.

Advanced Space Propulsion Investigation Committee (ASPIC) was a research group of specialists, including Y.Minami,[1] and T.Musha,[2] which was organized under the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences in 1994. The purpose of which was to study all kinds of non-chemical space propulsion systems [2] instead of the conventional rocket for the use of space missions to the near-by Earth, the Moon, and the outer solar system, including plasma propulsion, laser propulsion, nuclear propulsion, solar sail and field propulsion systems which utilize a strain on space, zero-point energy in a vacuum, electro-gravitic effect, non-Newtonian gravitic effect predicted from the Einstein Theory of Gravity,[3] and the terrestrial magnetism. The research report was published by the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences in March 1996.[4]
