The present invention is about a new satellite or unmanned aircraft guided by earth's magnetic fields, instead of gravitational fields, as in the case of traditional satellites. This type of magnetic satellites can fly many times faster than traditional satellites, and sustain a much heavier load if necessary. In order to navigate in earth's magnetic fields, the magnetic satellite needs to be heavily charged. The charges, interacting with the magnetic field, induce a magnetic force, which replaces the gravitational force as the centripetal force for circular motion.
