Well, by Warp Drive I mean Water Alcohol Resisto-jet Propulsion De-orbit Re-entry Velocity Experiment
One of two novel propulsion systems to be tested on Strand 1 - an experimental satellite cobbled together in Blighty to test off the shelf hardware in space. The satellite is controlled by a Google Nexus phone.
Quite interesting
