That’s the future we’re working toward. Our research centers on dynamic nuclear polarization, investigating whether controlled changes in a material’s spin state could provide a new approach to propulsion. Through hands-on laboratory experiments, we’re testing the ideas that could make propellantless spaceflight possible.
We’re not looking to build a better rocket. We’re exploring what comes next.
At Falcon Space, we’re not just thinking about the future; we’re building it. Our dedicated Research & Development team is on a relentless quest to redefine the boundaries of propulsion technology. In a universe where fuel resources are finite, we believe in the infinite potential of propellantless propulsion.
Traditional propulsion methods rely heavily on fuel, which is not only a depleting resource but also adds significant weight to spacecraft, limiting their range and capabilities. Propellantless propulsion, on the other hand, offers a sustainable and efficient alternative, paving the way for longer, more ambitious space missions.
All atoms have spin, but it’s randomly oriented in normal materials – which cancels out any potential forces. What if you could align those spins, so that the axis of rotation for every atom in a material was facing the same direction? You can: it’s done by a process called “Dynamic Nuclear Polarization”.
Nearly four decades ago, a researcher named Dr. Frederic Alzofon conducted a series of experiments that led to a substantial decrease in weight for test-samples. Today, we’re working with his estate and a group of the world’s top DNP scientists to recreate his experimental results for next-generation propulsion.
Our Team & Advisors
Mark Sokol - Founder & CEO
Mark is an independent researcher and the founder of Falcon Space, a self-funded effort to recreate a variety of breakthrough propulsion experiments focused on scientific accuracy and reproducibility.
With years of hands-on technical experience in the hybrid vehicle battery sector, Mark has applied his knowledge and love of engineering to the realm of alternative propulsion and gravity modification in an attempt to fully explore the many reported experimental claims currently in existence.
Tom Butler - Research Technician
Tom’s background includes a wealth of hands-on engineering & technical work, along with years of study & training in Alt Propulsion related technologies. He works on a number of technologies, and assists with a variety of projects.
In addition to his experience with Falcon Space, Tom works as an educator where he helps students further their education and enrich their learning experience.
David Alzofon - Strategic Advisor
David Alzofon has worked diligently to help carry on a family legacy of gravity control research that began with his father, Dr. Frederick Alzofon – a student of J.R. Oppenheimer, relativity expert Victor Lenzen, and mathematics guru Griffith C. Evans at Cal Berkeley in the ’40s and ’50s.
David has spoken at length about his father’s published work, and done additional research into previously unpublished papers and recorded dialogs with his father to presents gravity control in simple terms.
Kurt Zeller - Engineer
Kurt is an aerospace engineer with experience in EmDrive research and nuclear fusion, with research experience in emerging propulsion technology and RF engineering. Zeller’s educational and career path began with a focus on emerging propulsion, and his assistance with DNP engineering is invaluable.
He has also participated in the Alt Propulsion Conference, and manages a separate technology startup of his own. Kurt is a team player and valuable contributor to Falcon Space engineering efforts.
