Some uses of SPs include space station, observational platform, temp satellite, tether anchor, communications relay, return space plane, outpost in space, mobile spacecraft, reentry tracker, survey station, test mobility unit, Multi-D enabler, and low velocity real time rocket substitute.

Rocket Men

ROCKET MEN
Rocket men are the driving factor to private industry beginning to break the surly bonds of Earth and move upward into the boundless realm of space.

A number of space projects, both current and past, have paved a stairway to the Heavens. Many of these projects are now run by private companies and individuals, some of which use their own funding. The rockets are smaller and the payloads they carry are smaller, sometimes they have only one man capacity. Source

Though the original project was canceled, Hermes offered up designs for a compact and more diminuative space shuttle. Today, Space Transport and Recovery Systems, LLC, or STAR Systems, is a startup aerospace venture dedicated to providing affordable access to space. We're comprised of a multidisciplinary team of engineers, scientists, students and other professional talents. Together, we're developing the Hermes, a suborbital spacecraft. We want you to have the experience of a lifetime, without using up your life savings. It's time to make your dream of going into space a reality. Link  http://www.hermesspace.com/

Copenhagen Suborbitals is creating a rocket to launch a man in a suborbital flight. "Copenhagen Suborbitals is a suborbital space endeavor, based entirely on private donaters, sponsors and part time specialists. Our mission is to launch human beings into space on privately build rockets and spacecrafts. The project is both open source and non-profit in order to inspire as many people as possible, and to envolve relevant partners and their expertise. We aim to show the world that human space flight can be different from the usual expensive and government controlled project. We are working fulltime to develop a series of suborbital space vehicles - designed to pave the way for manned space flight on a micro size spacecraft." http://www.copenhagensuborbitals.com/mission.php

Thursday Jan. 10th, 2014  Orbital Sciences Corp: Solar array deployment is complete for Orbital Sciences Corp.'s Cygnus spacecraft, now traveling 17,500 mph in Earth's orbit to rendezvous with the International Space Station on Sunday, Jan. 12, for the Orbital-1 cargo resupply mission.

As part of the Ultra Space Administration, Humanoido launches into space, using the leased A1-B and other budget spacecraft. These suborbital space missions are currently human-based and skirt into near space. Missions, many of which have appeared on the pages of this blog, include a study of atmospheric pollution, deploying a night time mini space telescope, cartography, cloud study from the top down, and studying numerous fringe atmospheric and space phenomena.

Robot Explorer Cold Temperature Log 12

Car dug out of snow but no place to go

ROBOT EXPLORER COLD TEMPERATURE LOG 12
On Moon Titan, temperatures can reach -278 degrees Fahrenheit. Is is possible to find a place

Walls of snow on planet Earth

on Earth which is very cold to test components inside the Titan Moon Robot Explorer?

Not as cold but very cold is the Antarctica region, which during July of 2013 reached a very cold temperature of -135.3 degrees Fahrenheit, according to a NASA satellite.

A pot of dry ice is -109.3 degrees Fahrenheit and a flask of liquid nitrogen can reach -346 to -320 degrees Fahrenheit. So it seems we don't actually need to go to the Earth's polar region to test the Titan Moon Robot. The testing can occur in the lab in a bed of liquid nitrogen with an environment warmed to -278 degrees Fahrenheit.

What about snow? Although it snows in many places on Earth, snow is around freezing temperatures of +32 degrees Fahrenheit and is too warm for testing the Titan Moon Explorer Robot.

Next Human Launch into Near Space

Tiny Near Space telescope is inside the bag

BIG BRAIN'S EXPLORATION OF THE CONTINUING FRONTIER
NEXT HUMAN NEAR SPACE LAUNCH
Last time, the Big Brain Machine Initiative successfully launched and recovered an astronaut into Near Space on Sunday, February 3rd, 2013. That flight produced a successful study of fourteen Strata Layers beyond the Earth, journeyed to the fringes of space, set new records, and completed a space port view progression. Now we are once again about to depart into the frontier of Near Space and explore its domain.

http://humanoidolabs.blogspot.tw/2013/02/near-space-flight.html

The Big Brain is a Propeller powered semi-cognizant machine with a space program and a Prime Directive.

Prime Directive
http://humanoidolabs.blogspot.tw/2012/03/prime-directive.html


This time, launch conditions predicted by local weather sources are favorable 50/50 sun/rain. Either way, the launch will take place as the spacecraft will rise above the weather front to the crystal clear frontier.

This time, we're taking up a tiny space telescope, which is small enough to fit in the illustrated bag.

Most records in this Near Space space program, over the past years of exploration, have reached limits, in terms of the analysis of collected data, for maximum spacecraft height reached, coldest temperature on record, consecutive strata layering, launch and reentering vectoring, relative speeds of travel, and numerous parameters for a sub orbital flight. It's unknown if any TSATS will be released.

Types of Space
http://humanoidolabs.blogspot.tw/2012/10/types-of-space.html

Suspension Space Vehicles

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:

Temporary Satellite TSAT

BIG BRAIN INVENTS THE TEMPORARY SERVICE SPACE SATELLITE TSAT

A space satellite can hold a space telescope with 3-inch or smaller optics and observe lunar terrain above the blurring effects of Earth's atmosphere for more clear imaging and study. Having your own Amateur Satellite is mind expanding learning experience that can raise the know-how level of your technology.

Large TSATs could adapt QuadLyzer BASIC Stamp
Homework boards or similar components

DEFINITION
A satellite is defined as an artificial body placed in orbit around the earth or another planet in order to collect information or for communication. The Big Brain has extended this definition to include suborbital path.

SATELLITES
One aspect in the Big Brain Space Program Initiative that could use more development is that of satellites. Years ago, the author's Amateur Space Telescope was developed as a satellite to be hoisted into orbit by the US Space Shuttle with the NASA GetAway Special Program. Satellites are expensive to create, launch, and maintain in orbit. Big Brain has found a way to bypass these complexities and cost, by introducing the temporary service satellite or TSAT.

Solar study with TSAT is possible

TSAT TYPES
There are two types of Big Brain invented TSATs. One is lofted during the Next Space Program and provides data and services during the loft. The next type is the Dropped TSAT. This will provide data and services during the trip from space to the Earth.

TSAT FLIGHT
The TSAT is launched from space and allowed free flight. TSATS can be free fall, gliding, resistive, or have powered flight.

SUBORBITAL
The difference of a TSAT and an orbital satellite is the TSAT is mainly suborbital at this time.

TIME IN SPACE
The amount of time the TSAT remains in space for use is based on a number of conditions, such as the amount of time of free fall, wind resistance, height of release, air pressure, atmospheric re-entry parameters, etc.

LAUNCHING DOMAINS
TSATS are currently capable of launching two space domains - both Micro Space and Next Space.

TSAT APPS
TSATS have use for exploring space, understanding the conditions of atmosphere in lower space, and it can serve to bounce signals or act as a launch platform for other space craft. A TSAT can hold special payloads like a Temporary Space Telescope or TST.

WORLD RECORDS
The TSAT may indeed have the smallest suborbital flight in history. For Micro Space, the suborbital position down-range can be measured by a few feet. For Next Space, based on conditions, the distance can range to several city blocks. Anything launched higher is dependent on additional conditions and the satellite can end up considerably farther down range.

TRAJECTORY
TSATs can go up by various means and drop back to the Earth. Part of the TSAT project is to maximize the satellite's time spent in space. This may include lofting based on the Jet Stream, slow lofting through special gliders in Near Space where a tenuous atmosphere exists and a slowed reentry based on a parachute, streamer or other aerodynamic means.


TSAT FUNCTION
TSATs are generally lofted and dropped in Micro Space and Next Space, providing a temporary service during their reentry trip to the ground.

LOFTED TSATS
Another type of TSAT is one that only goes up and records data and provides services within this range. Thus far, the Lofted TSAT service is provided during the Next Space Program.

TSAT COST
TSATs are relatively inexpensive. Consider, the Big Brain space exploration initiative is many things and always growing and expanding in knowledge, design, and discovery. On aspect is the creation and invention of new designs and crafts that function in space. Being a bare bones cost space exploration program, the Big Brain can offer a ride into space from a cost range of free in Micro Space, to $12 for Next Space, and $5.53 per pound of payload to go up into Near Space. 

How to Go Into Space

BIG BRAIN REVEALS
HOW TO GO INTO SPACE

THE BIG BRAIN reveals how to conduct your own space program and safely go into space, on a hobby shoestring budget and within a reasonable amount of time.

Shanghai: Tall skyscraper machines reach Next Space

There are several ways to get into space, either by telepresence or by physical attendance. Machines and equipment can serve as a proxy in space exploration. A telescope acts like a time machine bringing great distances in space and time closer to home. There are numerous techniques for actually going into space. It depends on what type of space we're considering traveling to.

The Big Brain has defined seven main types of space. Some space is explored by observation only, such as microscopic space. Other space can be explored by the injection of nano machines that can report back with their effectual behaviors. Micro Machines are built within the chip, for example, and can send back observations of the MicroCosmos.

Hong Kong: night aerial photo from atop skyscraper in Next Space

Powerful telescopes, like the Paradigmic Genius Telescope can explore Ultra Space, leading to the EOL Edge of the Universe Boundary of Space Time. Even though Exo Space and Quantum Space is unexplored, great opportunity exists to explore nano space and microscopic inner space, micro space, next space, near space, orbital and solar system space, and ultra space. The Big Brain has found fast, inexpensive, and somewhat ingenious ways to penetrate the mysteries of these cosmic domains.

Taiwan: Jet turbine engine for reaching Near Space

Special techniques, tools and crafts are required to penetrate into the depths of each space domain. Starting with the smallest, nano space is explored by the creation of nanoscopic sized nano machines that exist inside a Propeller chip. The tools to create these nano machines are made of software. Next, microscopic space is explored with the creation of the PMM or Paradigmic Molecular Microscope, built to function with cascading data that penetrate down to the size of molecular structures. Now enter micro space. This great educational domain of space is explored with rockets, helicopters, flying aircraft, gliders, tethers, balloons, kites, parachutes, propelled capsules, instruments and sensors, special forms of propulsion using pressure and forms of potential and kinetic energy. Don't forget, grand exploration can take place in Micro Space with the use of elevator machines, escalators, and mag lift transports that accelerate horizontally off the ground.

Taiwan: Futuristic machine travels through Micro Space

The realm of micro space is vast and can be explored in numerous ways, safely by exercising caution and common sense. Insects, or insectronauts can be launched and returned to the earth. G-forces are measured and 0-G is studied. Next up is next space. A human journey into next space can involve a very tall skyscraper. It's possible to go up 1,555-feet or 1/3rd mile, again, in a relatively safe manner. Many of the machines of micro space can penetrate into next space. While human flight is more defined in next space, it can also happen in micro space. Now enter the vast domain of near space, otherwise known as hobby space. Humans can get into near space most reliably and relatively safe by air travel with passenger jets. One popular method of exploring near space is with balloons that loft robots. All these space programs use methods of aerial imaging to collect data. Some spectacular aerial imaging results from using skyscraper "machines" to gain access to Next Space. Either a top floor accessed by elevator or direct observation points on top of the skyscraper by supervised permission is possible with all safety measures being implemented.

Taiwan: Mall escalators are instrumental in exploring Micro Space

Warning & Disclaimer: On top of skyscrapers, a brisk wind can treat a human like a light-weight sheet of paper and loft the person overboard! So do careful planning as the Big Brain recommends all exploration by window indoors.

Hong Kong: Modern magnetic levitation transports accelerate through Micro Space

Next up is solar system space, going up from orbital space. Orbital space has satellites which can be accessed and utilized. Telescopes become important to explore solar system space. One favorite method utilized by Big Brain is to link satellites together to form powerful machines in space for a new look at space and to create new methods for space exploration. For more information about this approach, see ULT, NULT and PGT.

NASA satellites located in Earth Orbit, Solar System Space, on moons and planets, and in Ultra Space, are paid for by American taxpayers who have free use

Finally, ultra space takes us to the edge of the universe with powerful telescopes like the ULT Ultra Large Telescope, the NULT New Ultra Large Telescope, and the PGT Paradigmic Genius Telescope. These telescopes can create imagery showing great discoveries in space and time. All photos (c) copyright humanoido unless otherwise noted.
