Space1 Spaceport Bonanza - Rockets in South Korea Singapore Taiwan USA

"Space Concrete for a kilometer" - the new modern Space1 Xinyi Super Spaceport in Taiwan has a "kilometer of concrete" poured for rocket launch and clear rocket reentry and retrieval. With no obstruction, trees, man-made structures, or occluding debris, the spaceport is a boon and hive of space activity for rapid peacetime operations.

Located directly at the apex of entry is the MRT futuristic railway for transporting passengers to the spaceport for space tourism, scientists for testing and conducting launch operations, and moving equipment for launches.

The spaceport includes directly adjacent modern centers shopping, lodging, food, parking, and access points for rocket scientists and astronauts participating in peaceful space tourism. Space1 operations security precludes the display of current rocket activities in this photo.

Space1 Spaceport Bonanza - Rockets in South Korea Singapore Taiwan USA

Space1, a venture of peaceful space rockets to launch space tourism from points across the world, has expanded very quickly with more international worldwide spaceports.

This week, Space1 opened up the new Class 1 Xinyi Super Spaceport which has numerous unique features of massive flood light illumination for night launch capability, modern high speed railway transportation, lodging, restaurants, parking and possibly the countries largest concreted area for clear access to rocket launching and reentry.

The list of spaceports include 2 in the USA, 2 in Taiwan, 4 in Singapore and 1 in South Korea, for a total of 9. Space1 is a new space tourism venture that was founded when President Obama opened up space exploration to private industry. The founder of Space1 is the inventor of the Safety Rocket, for safe and peaceful space tourism.

Near Space Launch Night May 2

Space Agency waiting lobby

A GREAT NIGHT TIME NEAR SPACE LIFT-OFF
This was the second Near Space Launch on Thursday night May 2nd, 2013, with a goal to nighttime deploy and test the Tiny Space Telescope on stars and planets.

Massive craft engine

After a 1.5-hour wait in the Space Agency's Waiting Lobby, the annexing space center was approached where the massive spacecraft engine was being inspected by five technicians.

Near Space flight was underway during the night after 7pm. Spacecraft buffeting occurred as the craft rose through the clouds and overcast following the launch. The ride became smooth when the craft was positioned on top of the weather front's ceiling. The telescope was started and the night sky was monitored all throughout the night flight.

Near Space Telescope's 1st photo

Safety Ejection System

At two miles altitude, the clouds and haze dissipated and the sky began to clear. At about mid-range at the seven mile altitude mark, stars and planets were visible in a very dark night sky. Unfortunately the cockpit lights would not turn off and the cockpit flooded the window with reflections and bright light. This was reduced as much as possible by make-shift shielding and real time monitoring through the pixel viewer and moving the telescope to least reflective field of view.

Space Transport to and from launch facilities

The Tiny Near Space telescope was immediately engaged and was a success, capturing astro fields where stars and planets were visible. The image shown was taken during spacecraft motion downrange with the small term anti-motion system engaged. Short image motion trails still ensued due to spacecraft buffeting motion during the image's CCD integration time. The sensor was placed in an automatic mode, capable of up to 28,000 ISO. Data is captured, saved with the image file, and played back later for review.

Earth grid tracking to touchdown

Images were shot through the multiple layered viewing port in the cockpit. At the left side of the viewing port, condensation formed in between the layers and was noticeable, therefore the telescope was repositioned towards the upper right portion of the port. The photo resulted from the attitude and orientation of the spacecraft — good luck attributed to the known flight path and the clear skies at the highest altitude. During the time of flight, the Last Quarter Moon was not yet visible (an early morning sky object).

Space facilities structure

The first image taken with the Tiny Space Telescope shows a star / planetary field of view in the upper right corner. The image was cropped only for internal lighting reflections from the spacecraft's view port. More data processing and study will continue over the next several days and weeks.

The space program project concludes that it is possible to lock onto a star or planet for spacecraft celestial navigation, and a Tiny Near Space Telescope can conduct astronomy on star fields and planets during the mission. 

Hit & Run

HIT AND RUN
EVEN STREET & TRAFFIC SURVEYS ARE DANGEROUS!

It's hard to believe, when walking on this very busy pedestrian path at night, with thousands of other people, during the emergence of the night markets, a very large car came pushing through and ran into me from behind. It then quickly turned and sped away on a side street. I don't know how many other people were mowed down.

It's incomprehensible that such driver stupidity exists to even think about traveling on this path during the night market time. I was ok due to fast reaction time and quickly jumping when the first bump was felt on my leg, hand, and arm.

Believe it or not, very large vehicles, even trucks run down this path during the day and night, a place which is so short on space that it cannot even handle one way traffic. However, vehicles attempt two way traffic. When two vehicles come face to face, they often just set there with both parties refusing to move.

While the photo shows the same street, it does not show many of the food stands and clothing shops that were spread directly into the street on the particular night. The conclusion is this area is not safe for pedestrians, in spite of the massive number of pedestrians walking in this area.

The only possible solutions are not to walk this area, traverse this area in a tiny safety vehicle moving at pedestrian walking speed, or walk this area on the side during the daytime when the night markets have not emerged and there is more space.

Flying Saucer UFO

BIG BRAIN SEES FLYING SAUCER UFO

Big Brain's Eye captures a bright FLYING SAUCER!
Wednesday July 11th, 2012 4:04:21 am & 4:04:37 AM

Center Right: FLYING Saucer shaped object is moving behind Taipei 101

Some astronomers say if you observe the night sky long enough, you're bound to see a UFO. Now we're not claiming woman from Venus or even men from Mars, but we do admit to capturing at least one unidentified flying object in the night sky, leaving the image of a saucer on the pixels, this morning around 4am. It appears to be a cute little flying saucer.

16 seconds later the UFO was moving behind 101

Venus is the brightest object in the night sky as seen in this photo, captured from the Big Brain's Observatory Lab 50. But look closer - a cute little flying saucer is seen below Venus.

Take a closer look under Venus. It looks like a new star, but it's unknown what this object is.

Here's What Happened in the Early Morning Hours...

Observing the Moon in the early morning hours of Wednesday July 11th, 2012, while preparing to view the Venus-Jupiter-Aldebaran sky Conjunction, the Big Brain's new camera eye began taking astro images. Over an hour later, the Last Quarter Moon had risen high in the sky, away from Taipei 101, one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world. At that time, 4:04:21 am, a bright object appeared under and to the left of planet Venus, visible next to Taipei 101. In the sequence of photos, the next image taken at 4:04:37 am, only 16 seconds later, the UFO was disappearing behind 101, never to reappear!

Landing Conjecture
In the three photo sequence, the saucer is first seen under Venus, then visible about to be occulted by Taipei 101 skyscraper, and then disappears in the next sequential image. The most logical idea is the craft landed somewhere behind 101 at one of the many landing strips.

Busy Observational Night
It was a busy night, observing the Moon near the Last Quarter phase, studying the Venus-Jupiter-Aldebaran Conjunction in the Hyades, and seeing a UFO Flying Saucer.

Difficulty of Remaining Stealth
Flying saucers of any type and variety have a difficult time remaining stealth under the bright skies of Taipei.  Combined city lights illumination has the advantage of lighting up any flying object for identification and photo imaging. This is especially advantageous for astronomers who wish to photograph Flying Saucers traversing over the big city.

The well illuminated Flying Saucer's shape and outline is seen in this enlarged digital image just before it disappeared behind Taipei 101 skyscraper.

Image Details

Flying Saucer series

This image was captured July 11th 2012 4:04:37 am. The camera was set at f2.5 with ISO 1,600 and a one second exposure. To steady the camera, it was solidly braced on a concrete and brick structure.

Craft Structure
Note the central saucer hub protruding from the primary structure, at the top, and the underside dish-like saucer section, typically depicted in science fiction movies of the 1950s. No individual lights are seen on the craft. There are no predominant colors on the Hull. The object was located behind Taipei 101 some distance as it was occulted by the skyscraper only seconds later. However, the flying saucer never reappeared on the other side of 101.

Flying Saucer - the Series
Refer to the series of digital images at right. This is the Flying Saucer only seconds before it disappeared behind Taipei 101, never to reappear again. The image below, and all the images following it, do not show the flying craft. Full color images show a lack of color on the flying object. Due to the object's albedo, it could have a neutral reflective silvered, white color, or a more subtle color variation.

No saucer visible at 4:04:51 am and thereafter

Craft Runways for Take Off and Landing
Miles behind Taipei 101 in the East are located several runway air strips for craft to take off and land. It's unknown exactly which craft are taking advantage of this location. The real question remains, are these craft flown by local pilots or reconnaissance Aliens. We will continue our monitoring of these very interesting and busy night skies and report back. Stay tuned for more.
