A remotely powered propulsion system 1 comprises electromagnetic (EM) energy (2q1, 2q2, 2q3, 2q4, figs 9 and 10) transmitting means 2, 2s1, 2s2, for emitting EM energy and a receiver 3 which can receive said energy for propulsion means 3s1, 3s2. The propulsion means is able to convert the transmitted EM energy into kinetic energy for the purpose of materially propellant-free aerospace propulsion applications. The movement of matter external to the craft is not required for said crafts propulsion. The propulsion means has a number of applications such as thermonuclear impact fusion for electrical power, heat generation, radioisotope production, nuclear reaction product generation, astronomical body impacting for earth-crossing threats, rapid missile interception for national defence, terminal ballistic testing of spacecraft fuselage and unprecedented impact physics research.
