The present invention is an orbital electromagnetic booster for acceleration of payload or spacecraft in the outer space around the planet. A massive tube-shaped apparatus moving with orbital speed around the planet uses electromagnetic forces to accelerate smaller object (spacecraft) inside the tube (internal tunnel). Spacecraft and booster have electromagnets on board to provide controllable driving force and avoid collisions. Solar panels and accumulators are used to provide energy for electric rocket engines in the front part of the orbital electromagnetic booster to compensate the decrease of speed during spacecraft acceleration. Temporary dive into lower orbit is used to refuel tanks for electric rocket engines. ---------------------------------- Figure 1
