EXPLORING SPACE WITH
SUSPENSION SPACE VEHICLES

Early days - Micro Space Program lofting experiment startup

The Big Brain's space program already has created a number of craft to explore various types of space. Many of these were invented for Micro Space and Next Space. The realm of space, from Micro Space to Near Space inclusive, has ideal conditions for the invention of a new craft - the Suspension Space Vehicle.


There are many types of forces in outer space that can act as a suspension upon a space craft. In particular the Big Brain's outer space program is interested in pressures formed by tenuous molecular air, conditions of wind, and water vapor.

Step one was creating the new type of satellite. Step two was creating ultra light spacecraft. Step three introduces the concept of lofting, where air pressure can loft and/or suspend a satellite or special craft. The early days of lofted craft tests and experiments have now led to actual Suspension Space Vehicles or SSVs.

Lofting is a technique of using atmospheric pressure, or other means, to suspend and balance a space craft to keep it operating longer at a particular region of space. The region may be Micro Space, Next Space, or Near Space. SSVs now include special satellites, a new propulsive technology, and specially designed vehicles to navigate and stay longer in the region of space.

SSVs may loft and suspend for specific intended periods of time, for observations, or for measuring the gradients of various space strata. In some examples, there is no way of knowing beforehand, the amount of time the SSV will remain in suspension.

Some causes of suspension, or contributors of this intervention, may include magneto measurements, or special aerial imaging of the Earth, Moon, or planets, etc.

Early tests and inventions leading up to the SSV included the following:

Moving Update

Big Brain Moving Update

If you're wondering what's up after the New Years celebration, it's all about the Big Brain moving into its own new territory. Expansionism into a new domain, literally...

On the agenda today is the move in of computers that support the loading of programs into the Big Brain and the posting and maintenance of its new internet domain.

A computer desk/center was purchased and assembled and systems are live as internet is fully installed and cables are active. That took up the entire night - an excursion across the city to IKEA where furniture is found.

In order to maintain the fake NASA clean room status, a dust collection mat was installed in the traffic area and cleaning supplies and products obtained.

We're still organizing and trying to decide on the best orientation and fit of the Brain into its Crypt. The Crypt may seem to be misnomer naming, as it locates into a kind of attic vault, a chamber dominated by the Big Brain. Though closer inspection reveals its true nature and indeed it rests amidst the deep recesses of the lofted lab in a crypt fashion.

Its position is backed up against the wall on one side with storage compartments built in on the other. The opposite walls are open and one is over the lower level. This is where the Brain will conduct more Micro Space research.

Big Brain Crypt Lab Loft before moving in

This entire space is dedicated to one lucky expansive Big Brain!!!

The new Big Brain Crypt and Lab Loft has lots of windows (at left & center), though it looks bigger in the photo than in real life.

Any one of the many Big Brain robotic telescopes can set outside on high rise skyscraper roof top access to observe a complete sky panorama, according to a Big Brain's astronomical agenda. Observation equipment controlled by the Brain can also set on the outside home Deck. Control is possible by direct means, wireless and routed cables through the windows.

Will the Big Brain fit into this Lab space? Initially the space seems large for one project but never underestimate the constant growth of the Big Brain!

Brain Crypt & Lab Loft

BRAIN CRYPT & LAB LOFT

The real potential exists for the Big Brain to now move into an upper loft where it will perch above all other locations. Will the massive Big Brain fit into the large bed crypt? Will the loft provide other unexpected benefits?

Will the massive Brain fit the bed crypt?

The new laboratory has a loft extension which has the ultimate use of extending the dynamics of the Big Brain's Micro Space Program. Missiles and micro space craft can launch from the Airport and rocket launcher complex at the upper altitude and then coast down to main recovery level, extending the range and functions of the Space Program. This is a boon for Micro Space Craft Test Gliders and the Aerial Photography program. The new laboratory was first announced here.
