Does the Velocity of Light Depend on the Source Movement?

Abstract

Data from spacecrafts tracking exhibit many anomalies that suggest the dependence of the speed of electromagnetic radiation with the motion of its source. This dependence is different from that predicted from emission theories that long ago have been demonstrated to be wrong. By relating the velocity of light and the corresponding Doppler effect with the velocity of the source at the time of detection, instead of the time of emission, it is possible to explain quantitatively and qualitatively the spacecraft anomalies. Also, a formulation of electromagnetism compatible with this conception is possible (and also compatible with the known electromagnetic phenomena). Under this theory the influence of the velocity of the source in the speed of light is somewhat subtle in many practical situations and probably went unnoticed (i.e. below the detection limit) in other measurements.
