Navigational Independent Relative Positioning System ( NIRPS)

Val Parker, Alexander Parker

Abstract:	The principal of the Navigational Independent Relative Positioning System (NIRPS) is based on the Parker Effect which describes the correlation between an inertial medium (physical body) and a non-inertial medium (light). NIRPS utilizes this effect to provide on-board information on the velocity (speed and direction) which the physical body travels in three-dimensional space. Due to the fact that NIRPS operates by gauging its own relative vector of velocity and is independent of outside sources, it is the only system suited for Deep Space Travels.
