    Why burn up the Jules Verne ATV in the atmosphere?

    First off the ATVs are cheap... relatively speaking. Non-manned vehicles are disposable. The constant controlled decay is minimized by all sorts of operations on ISS not just the resupply, by the Space Shuttle, ATVs, and Russian Soyuz & Progress Flights. All LEO(Low Earth Orbit) Satellites...

    electromagnet construction question

    As for what you have already stated the limiting factor is your power source. You simply cannot generate the type of field needed generate that much force. More turns will help you produce a larger magnetic field up untill a point. Also a marerial used in the core of the magnet will play some...
