Atomic G-Force Absorber

ATOMIC G-FORCE ABSORBER

Space1 has invented the Atomic G-Force Absorber, AGA, to help isolate, insulate and protect astronauts traveling inside the new Milestone Safety Rocket, from heavy Gs during the mission.

The Atomic G-Force Absorber is an isolated platform that recoils atomically, cushioning initial effects that rapidly change during the flight. It uses advanced design morphing anatomical meshwork, MAM, to implement astronaut safety protection.

BIG MACHINE BRAIN SUGGESTS MINI SPACE SHUTTLE CONSTRUCT

Overall design with cargo bay

Big enough to ferry an astronaut and supplies, small enough for space hoisting by private industry...

We're not sure why the electric machine Big Brain wants one of these. Perhaps it's to carry up a space telescope and parts, to study new machines in space, to assemble something, help save the Earth, rescue an astronaut, act as a life boat for the ISS Space Station, or make trips to the Moon.

The illustrative design is originally based on the X-37 from NASA and the recent X-37b from the USA Air Force. While the X37b is secretive, the proposed mini shuttle would operate for the Big Brain directive. The proposed MS would be substantially smaller than depicted here.

Of course the Experiment bay would be outfitted with astronaut seating, the control panel would be designed for a pilot, and supplies would stow under the seating.

Reentry with fire resistant fabric

The craft would have gliding capabilities during reentry and landing. The Mini Shuttle MS could visit space by riding in the cargo bay of larger rockets and return under its own capability.

Suggestions for enhancing the mini space shuttle craft include solar panels for extended stays in

Docking with the Space Station

space, small size for fit into rocket nose cone, light weight for minimal launch cost, hatch and payload bay doors for space walks/ mini satellite deployments/ observations with a space telescope and storage for extended stays in space (food, water, toilet packaging and ejection system) and air

Equipped for passengers

re-pressurization system for visiting and docking with other spacecraft, space stations, and space hotels.

Deploying solar panels

One design suggestion for the reusable space craft is a heat resistant replaceable fabric for fiery reentries into the Earth's atmosphere. Also the craft could orbit the Moon, observe through telescopes, and deploy tiny satellites and landers to the surface. The MS could also leave behind mini orbiters with capability of telescopes, radio transponders and relay stations.

Another design is for rescue. Maneuvering thrusters enable the craft to go to retrieve an astronaut flung out into space

One pilot

from the space station or other ship or retrieve an astronaut from an error in a space walk. In case of emergency, an astronaut from the space station could space walk to the mini shuttle and return to the Earth. The two passenger seats collapse flat to carry one injured or sick person. The craft could hold three, one of which is the pilot.

It's also determined the craft space could be configured the same size as a small Japanese or Chinese apartment with all spartan yet efficient amenities for longer stays living in space. The craft could also conduct limited space tours of orbital Earth and the Moon, plus offer spectacular sky views in space for not only tourism but scientific research.

It's possible to send up one astronaut specifically as a systems specialist to repair space equipment when a mini space shuttle is in operation. Astronaut Rick Mastracchio is shown space walking outside the ISS International Space Station. Credit: NASA

"Dream Chaser – which is a reusable lifting body vehicle based on the form of NASA Langley’s HL-20 spaceplane concept from the 1980s – can land on a conventional runway, unlike all of its capsule-based competitors. The plan is for Dream Chaser to land at the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) at KSC." NASA

The Dream Chaser is a crewed suborbital and orbital^[7] vertical-takeoff, horizontal-landing (VTHL) lifting-body spaceplane being developed by Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) Space Systems. The Dream Chaser is designed to carry up to seven people to and from low Earth orbit. The vehicle would launch vertically on an Atlas V rocket and land horizontally on conventional runways. Wikipedia

THE SCIENCE OF POWERFUL MICROSCOPES

GMM - Humanoido Labs

GENIUS MOLECULAR MICROSCOPE

The Genius Molecular Microscope (GMM) was invented in September

of 2012 by the Big Brain Molecular Microscopy Initiative at Humanoido Labs and works by the cascation of processing data amplification to reach field magnification levels exceeding one million times. GMM is designed as an easy to use and inexpensive way to view molecular structures, to work with and design micro machines and objects within the chip, and to explore the effectual results of the nanoscopic and nanotechnology developments.

ELECTRON MICROSCOPE
The electron microscope, first developed by German engineers Ernst Ruska and Max Knoll in the 1930s, uses a particle beam of electrons to illuminate a specimen and create a highly magnified image. Electron microscopes yield much greater resolution than the older light microscopes; they can obtain magnifications of up to 1 million times, while the best light microscopes can magnify an image only about 1,500 times. An electron microscope can range from US$90,000.00 to half a million dollars.

THE SCANNING TUNNELING MICROSCOPE
The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is among a number of instruments that allows scientists to view and manipulate nanoscale particles, atoms, and small molecules. It was invented by Gerd Binig and Heinrich Rohrer in 1986. The idea of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy STM comes from the “topografiner” developed in the early 1970’s (Young et al., 1972), that included most of the elements of an STM but can only operate with a larger tip-to surface gap (>1 nm, at which distance electron transport occurs via field emission). Deficiencies in both the mechanical and electrical systems at 1970’s limited the resolution to a few nanometers vertically and ~0.5 μm laterally. These problems were overcome ten years later by Binnig and Rohrer at the IBM Rüschlikon laboratory. They succeeded in creating an instrument with stable vacuum tunneling and precision scanning capabilities – the conditions required for atomic resolution imaging. STM has revolutionized the study of surfaces and is rapidly becoming a required tool in almost every surface characterization laboratory. In addition, it has led to the development of a host of related techniques, collectively known as scanning probe microscopy (SPM).

ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPE
Atomic force microscopes (AFMs) gather information by "feeling" the surface with a mechanical probe. Gerd Binig, along with Calvin Quate and Christoph Gerber, developed the first AFM in 1986. Product Example: The package include the technical integration of an AFM into an imaging ellipsometern of the nanofilm_ep3 series. Take advantage of the convenience of imaging ellipsometry to visualize thin films and surface structures, and then zoom into nanometer details with Scanning Probe Microscopy on the same spot! The integration is done by an intelligent sample handling, integrating complementary data from two independent methods without the need for laborious sample positioning. The technical integration of a Scanning Probe microscope enables the user to: * measure the same field of view with imaging ellipsometer and scanning probe microscope * observe nano-steps in the live contrast-image of the ellipsometer, draw your region of interest around the nano-steps, and record surface film thickness, profiles/maps with nanofilm_ep3 (large field of view, quick) or by the AFM (submicron lateral resolution, slow ~ 3 min for an 80 µm by 80 µm scan) * map thickness and optical properties (refractive index/extintion) and 3D-profile/surface-roughness at the same sopt on a sample within minutes, due to software-controlled sample transport between imaging ellipsometer and Atomic force microscope with smaller than 20 µm accuracy and 2 µm repeatability
