The trip to South Korea from Taiwan took place on four days, Thursday December 18 through Sunday December 21, 2014. The purpose was several fold, primarily to meet with the Director, Dara, of Space1 installation Wisdom Lab, to hold a meeting with the President of Space1, and to survey the region site throughout South Korea for the Space1 installation.

The journey was approximately a three hour flight one way. Upon landing, several modes of transport were required to reach the new location where South Korea Space1 laboratory (SKS) was established. Accomplishments included the South Korean Space1 Site Survey, the Space1 Presidential meeting with the agenda for 2015, and the Space1 Wisdom Lab meeting with South Korean Scientist/Conceptual Designer and Director Dara 지혜.

EPIC SUCCESS
The great success of Space1's twelve rockets for space tourism was reviewed and the President has directed the organization to continue its high technology development with support and funding in the coming new year.

WISDOM LAB
Dara successfully directed the ensemble of Space1's South Korean team and logistics resulting in a more accurate Space1 South Korea Site Survey and photographic data for further review, analysis and archive.

HIGH TECHNOLOGY POSITIONING 
Very high Korean technology was used for GPS vectors to establish point to point locations by inputting coordinate data. Korean mechanical construction techniques were reviewed as well as technology that could serve during a space tourism installation. Additionally, transports, housing, and positioning were reviewed.

PARTS SUPPLIERS
A route was also established via Space1's home base to the industrial parts suppliers organizations and stores. These places supplied all South Korean parts, supplies and materials. The purchase conversion was approximately 1000 WON equals 1 USA dollar.

Urban area: tightly congested with no space for aerospace testing sites


ASTRONOMICAL ANALYSIS
Astronomically speaking, Seoul is brightly lit in most locations, and other locations shut down most lights early in the morning. In view of an astronomical observatory located in the more remote sections of Dongdaemun, the planet Jupiter was clearly visible but stars were not visible. This provides data for the level of extinction at the city site.

SITE ACCESS
It's interesting to note, the rural sections of the site survey revealed some remote areas with zero access. The ERT site, Extremely Rough Terrain, is seen in the photo above shot from a high speed moving transport. The site is remote enough, but access for space tourism would need to be established.

LAND FORMATION
This ERT site appears to have unusual land formations - sections of soil formed by a previous ocean bed or high current turbulent river. Smooth mounds of varying size distortions splayed countless conflicting orientations, prohibiting common vehicular travel.

LIGHTING
Remote sites had no lights whatsoever and would undoubtedly be advantageous and astronomically suited, and need to deal only with the light from distant adjacent populated sections of the city, estimated to be about a 40 minute drive away on the high speed transport. The high speed transport makes no stops throughout the ERT regio.

LAND SEISMIC DISTURBANCES The juxtaposition of the high speed transport would undoubtedly cause some vibratory land seismic disturbance in local distances. Positioning sites towards the mountains could isolate the effects for a scientific research outpost.

Space1 Magazine will continue in-house publishing, and will reveal numerous Space1 secrets developed for current use and in the future. It will reveal our vision for the current development and for the future of space tourism.

SPACE1 2015 PROJECTIONS
Presidential Meeting
In the new year 2015, Space1 will continue to develop space tourism and exploit the private funding necessary for projects in space flight and aerospace craft development. Some areas of continued research and development include the space tourism rocket, multifaceted and advanced space tourism technology, the return rocket plane, a space station, EAR Extremely Advanced Robotics, and other aspects of space tourism development.

RAMPING DEVELOPMENT It was agreed to continue primary development of the space Komputer, the Black Box Machine, the RTM Referential Time Machine, advanced external camera imaging, robotics and flight equipment for rocket lofting.

MULTI-D KAMERA IMAGING PROJECT
The Multi-D Kamera Imaging project will be introduced in 2015, designed to capture the space tourism flight from a multidimensional external location which will be varied in flux position. This allows flying the imager around the tourism rocket, and to provide vantage points from above and below. The MKIP provides a calculus and differential equation mode to capture the entropy of space flight.

SPACE STATION FLEET
The supporting space station will continue in development, and include a fleet of space stations to support the tourism rocket during takeoff, during flight, and during reentry. It's agreed the fleet will include three main size vehicles, deemed small, medium and large. In 2015, work will include nano support vehicles and mega structure vehicles with multiple engine clusters.

ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENTS
Also included in the budget is aerospace design for cabin interiors and far reaching conceptual developments. R&D will continue heavily, with Space1 Magazine expanding and continuing for in-house secret sharing.

Near Space Launch Morning May 2

The clock was ticking the countdown to an early morning launch
NEAR SPACE LAUNCH ON MAY 2, 2013
Robotic flight machine at the launch site
The morning time Near Space launch was well underway by 8:30 am for this new suborbital space flight. 

The goal was to test GPS positioning hardware and software 7.2 miles altitude in Near Space above the Sea of China, and to test the new Tiny Space Telescope during the daytime, pointed at the Sun for celestial navigation positioning.

At 9:30 am, observations were being recorded for altitude, temperature, spacecraft elapsed time, comparative ground speed, space imagery, compass, distance and time to reentry position.

GPS and cell phones with GPS did not work due to blocked signals. The spacecraft was never positioned where the cockpit window viewed the sun and the telescope was not useful. No fix on any sun-like celestial object was possible. Internet did not work and instruments reporting from internet failed.

Agency trucks and equipment transports
Realtime weather reporting did not work. There was no access to WiFi and Carrier Services failed.

Localized in-flight cockpit instruments, like the magnetic compass, were fully functional. iPhone localized apps were fully functional.


Magnetic Compass app fully functional
At 7.2 miles altitude, an unusual haze appeared above, blocking daytime observations of stars and planets with the telescope.

The Moon was not visible through the cockpit window (The Moon was an early morning object in Last Quarter phase and positioned at 2 am, outside the time frame of this space flight). No daytime data was collected through the telescope.

Overcast skies and a mountain range were visible during final reentry approach

Left: Near Space is seen at 7.2 miles high. Note the unusual light tenuous clouds not seen in other Near Space flights. This image is unprocessed. Usually the sky above the 6-mile mark is very clear.

Another image, shown above, has heavy processing to show the details of these light tenuous wisps of banding weather front clouds. These bands could interfere with space telescope operations causing light absorption and limiting stellar magnitude.

Looking down on the Earth, all throughout the flight, only complete cloud cover was monitored. The launch was overcast and so was the reentry. Note the special panorama image taken during reentry and final approach, showing overcast skies, haze and mist, and mountains. Landing occurred at the base of these mountains at an unspecified location.

Near Space Test

NEAR SPACE TESTING
A number of tests are planned for the upcoming human launch into Near Space. One, we hope to use a man-operated tiny telescope to explore daytime and/or night time objects from space. Two, what is the functioning of GPS satellites as established through a smart phone during launch, at variable positioning, at high altitudes, and from the apex of Near Space?

QUESTIONS
Answering these two questions, according to the Big Machine Brain program and the Space Exploration Initiative will be important to putting our exploration astronauts into space, and in fulfilling the Prime Directive for manned exploration.

PHOTO
The photo shows space through the very large PGT-ET telescope which has multiple adjuncts in space and ground operations using a supercomputer. We don't expect results like this with the Tiny Space Telescope we're taking with us during the upcoming Near Space flight this week. The goal is imaging on the Sun, Moon, or a bright star for future celestial navigation.

VIEW PORT
The telescope test could be a success or a failure, as last time we had some challenges faced with the view port window. These windows tend to electrostatically collect dust and debris, easily scratch from the ravages of space travel (our spacecraft is reusable), and develop patches of moisture and condensation from the double layering with trapped moisture and the extreme temperatures of space. The view port also develops internal and external reflections with its multiple layering and absorbs and reflects light. It may also introduce distortion as the view port material is not optically flat.

TELESCOPE
The tiny telescope is currently more about testing ideas for navigation in space, for spacecraft and space object positioning. For example, the Big Brain may want to launch/release a tiny satellite into space and having a better understanding of how to orientate that spacecraft will become important.

TSAT & SPACE TELESCOPE
One long range goal is the release of a TSAT (a temporary space satellite) and/or a tiny space telescope that will spend some time in space before its position decays.
