Can the Flyby Anomalies be Explained by a Modification of Inertia

McCulloch, M. E.

The flyby anomalies are unexplained velocity increases of 3.92, 13.46, 0.11 and 1.82 mm/s observed near closest approach during the Earth flybys of the Galileo, NEAR, Cassini and Rosetta spacecraft respectively. Here, these flybys are modelled using a theory called Modified Inertia due to a Hubble-scale Casimir effect (MIHsC). The model suggests t…
