Space1 Rocket Alternatives of Going Into Space

Distance between the Earth and the Moon is a haven for the newest space tourism

ROCKET ALTERNATIVES OF GOING INTO SPACE

HE BI LEVEL ROCKET PROPULSION DESIGNED
Consideration of the Diesel Engine precluded carrying heavyweight fuel into space
Black powder fired rocket engines are cheap, easy to build, required regulation at times under certain conditions (dry weather, static electricity, incongruous changes), and affect the Earth's environment by depositing and releasing greenhouse gases. Depending on range and thrust, this may vary from a relatively insignificant proportion to that of larger depositions for the largest and most massive rockets.

But other forms of rocket propulsion are more damaging to man and the environment such as atomic and nuclear engine drives that have risk of explosion and releasing radioactivity and contaminating the Earth for many years or decades.

Of course, rocket propulsion must be cost effective and simple to supplement bringing space tourism to a safe and affordable level. Space1 is working on a Hybrid Engine that incorporates the best of a couple technologies, spinning old and new together. A new rocket engine design is introduced in November of 1015, named the HE.

There's two levels of space, the first level requires moving through the first level of Earth's space known as the Troposphere, and the second level moves beyond the Earth's space into the Solar System and the first realm of Deep Space. The HE design incorporates this bi level propulsion. The two worlds of engine design utilize a common propulsion for level I and electrical for level II.

Also examined and studied are propulsion using hydrogen, oxygen, diesel, kerosene, and nitrogen. These may be more range and velocity sensitive.

Space1 Diversified Rocket Propulsion

SPACE1 DIVERSIFIED ROCKET PROPULSION
Space1 venture to open up safe space tourism to the world, has now diversified its means of rocket propulsion. 

This month, Space1 has opened up divisions for the development of new rocket engines using fuel of hydrogen and oxygen under pneumatic control. Dubbed Level 1 rocket technology, these new rockets will be tested and developed at Taiwan's Super Xinyi SpacePort.

This supplements solid black powder rocket motors previously used. Two new unnamed 2015 rockets are currently under construction for the fleets rocket motor diversification. These rocket motors represent a significant reduction in fuel cost, refueling turnaround times, refurbishing, and the time in which a rocket launch can be recycled for the next launch. Pneumatic fuel fed rockets are more safe and can be launched in remote grassland spaceports with complete fire safety protocol.

Both rocket motors are very light weight, however the fuel is much heavier. Tests are being conducted to determine the maximum apogees when the new motors are installed in rockets, and the best delivery methods for space tourism. If chosen, one or both rocket motors can help substantially reduce the cost of going into space, making the price of space tourism realistically affordable.

Temp Spacecraft Tcraft

BIG BRAIN DEVELOPS THE TCRAFT - TEMPORARY CRAFT IN SPACE

The Tcraft is a type of space craft, lofted into space, that can temporary function. This is an amateur hobby program to create a low cost space craft that can reside in space for a finite amount of time.

Designs are varied, including the drop craft (gravity operated), the glide craft (rides on a tenuous surface of air), the self pro-pulsed craft (carries an on board engine), the elemental craft (makes use of surrounding elements for propulsion), and the externally fueled craft (driven by fuel beamed directly to the craft).
