Space1 Booster Rocket & Glider

SPACE1 BOOSTER ROCKET & GLIDER
Space1 in the USA is progressing with concept, design, construction, and testing of a new booster rocket and spacecraft glider. The booster is a vertical deployment with enough diameter and mechanical mounts to support multiple arrays of surrounding gliders.

At apogee during the mission, the gliders release at the same time, maintaining gyro equilibrium to the booster, then follow glide flight paths back to earth. Circular glide paths absorb kinetic energy to reduce speed to safe levels.

Illustration: Artist concept of Space1's Booster Glider

Each glider spacecraft can support 1 or many astronauts, depending on configuration. First Envisions (tm), a division of Space1, has allocated 3 periphery gliders on one booster arranged in triequilibrium.

A reusable boost keeps space flights and missions as low cost as possible and potentially affordable to the space tourism industry.

Scaling flights are slated for summer of 2015 over the USA at Space1's Rocket Space Port.

New USA Space1 Rocket Lab

NEW USA SPACE1 ROCKET LAB
Established recently in the USA, the new rocket lab is busy stocking up on rocket parts and supplies to assemble a total of five new rockets.

RESEARCH VEHICLE
One research vehicle among the fleet is a rocketing space shuttle that will ferry supplies, test equipment, and possible astronauts back to earth. The design originated many years ago but only now do we have working vehicles to fly.

SHUTTLE DESIGN
The shuttle design is a gliding vehicle, and does not carry volatile rocket fuel, making it reusable for more safe landings. Automatic design parameters enable the vehicle to return on its own.

ROCKETS
Other rockets range in size from four different diameter and height dimensions. The largest rockets designed appear to have heavy lift capability for multiple equipment bays or multiple astronauts.

ROBOTICS
Space1 is heavy into advanced space flight robotics. The robotics division is already vastly equipped in both Taiwan and USA locations.

LAUNCH COMPLEX
Also equipped with parts for two launch sites, the liftoff pads have varying capabilities depending on rocket size. Control panels will be spaced at safe distance from the launch rockets and towers.

ROCKET MOTORS
Highest reliability rocket motors are purchased from a reputable professional rocket motor corporation pre-made and ready for precision installation into rockets at the time of launch. A total of fourteen rocket motors are now within Space1 inventory.

These will be used for primary launches and rocket tests. Four motors in the engine lot are the most powerful ever purchased and just within affordable means at this time.

These motors require lead delivery times and special shipment procedures, and will produce the highest rocket thrust and space altitudes ever reached by Space1's fleet of rockets.

Under consideration now is the increase of rocket penetration into space by the addition of thruster boosters, that not only extend space flight duration, but offer more space tourism during the mission.

Space1 Rocket Shuttle

In this design, the shuttle remains attached to the rocket until reaching apogee. It then detaches and ejects for a spiraling glide path return to the Earth and a soft landing. The rocket returns by parachute and is recovered for reuse.

SPACE1 ROCKET SHUTTLE

Space1's rocket program continues with the design and development of a rocket shuttle to return astronauts safely to the Earth.

Shuttle separate from rocket
There are three designs for research. In the first design, the entire rocket is the space rocket shuttle and remains attached during the Earth return.

In the second design, the shuttle is at the top of the rocket, the rocket falls away and returns by parachute, and the space rocket shuttle returns to the Earth by active steerable gliding.




Rocket plane
In another version of this design, the space rocket shuttle is trimmed to automatically go into a circular and spiraling return flight.

The third design, the space rocket shuttle is attached to the side of the rocket and detaches for the return trip. All three designs are under study with scale models to determine flight behaviors and sequences.

To maintain balance in the former design, two shuttles attach to opposing sides and simultaneously return to the Earth at apogee.

Space1 Milestone Safety Rocket

Rocket Space Tourism
SPACE1 MILESTONE ROCKET

Space1 has invented the Milestone Safety Rocket, a compendium of all the best rocket features from the results of all the previous rockets.

The MSR is the 15th rocket developed by Space1 and is an ALV Astronaut Launch Vehicle designed to loft an astronaut into space tourism domain for tourism space flight, and return the astronaut safely to the Earth after the mission is completed. The MSR is the first new rocket of 2015 and the fifteenth designed safety rocket.

MSR is designed to function with the new Multi-D, the supporting Space Station, and have the potential to loft a space plane return vehicle under glider control. Key features include an equipment package, on-board flight computer, sensor array, internal and external flight recorders, a luxurious cabin space capsule interior with picture windows, and stowage.

MSR includes a special designed atomic platform that sub-recoils to subdue maximum G force during the flight. The Atomic G-Force Absorber invention, AGA, has multiple implements depending on the type of mission.

Multi-D Invention for Space1

The Multi-D invention can undergo development and testing in the Multi-D Laboratories controlled environment chamber. The Lab has a level safety net for level I testing. Level II must be isolated outdoors for safety reasons.
THE MULTI-D INVENTION FOR SPACE1
 
INTRO
Humanoido has invented the spectacular and powerful Multi-D invention for Space1. The Multi-D Imaging and Testing Lab is now established for testing and development of this remarkable device.

OPERATION
In the actual machine, the Multi-D can have flight in various positions relative to the tourism rocket's flight during the flight mission. With its mind remotely controlled, it can move to anywhere in the dimensional matrix grid and then datalize. So essentially there are two changing vectored flights.

SYSTEM CALCULUS

This is defined by the dual calculus of the differential equation of changing orientation of two flight paths. It can provide spectacular sci data and views, ideal for many purposes of the space tour, of data for space flight, of show for investors and for tourists. It will become an integral part of the space tourist system.

NASA DREAMS
NASA wanted something like this for Space Shuttle missions, but it never developed it. If NASA had developed it, it could have helped recognize the anomalies that led to the crash of Space Shuttle Columbia on Feb. 1, 2003.

SPACE SAFETY
Safety is paramount in Space1's Tourist System, which includes the Safety Rocket invention. Multi-D may seem like a safety redundant system feature, but its many additional uses are remarkable.

DEFINITION
Multi-D stands for Multi Dimensional, and refers to the ability for the system to move within a multidimensional grid or matrix framework relative to a changing source, in this case the tourism rocket.

EXTRAPOLATION
Extrapolating some ideas of Multi-D, it could serve as a time and space calibration for the RTM Referential Time Machine. It could also have telemetric interfacing to the avataric connection in real time, though the complexity of this may require additional design work.

Tiny Space Station

Tiny orbital flights with the tiny rocket and tiny space shuttle to the Moon for space tourism are a part of the Tiny Space Program's proposals. Also proposed are visits to the tiny outpost in space otherwise known as the tiny space station. "Apollo 16 metric camera image of the Moon's eastern limb and far side. The lower left part of the image shows a portion of the moon visible from Earth. The dark area at the 8:00 position on the edge is Mare Crisium. To the right of that is Mare Smythii. The upper right area shows the heavily cratered lunar far side. The Moon is 3475 km in diameter and North is at 10:30 in this image. (Apollo 16, AS16-3021)" SOURCE
DEVELOPING A TINY SPACE STATION COMPLETE WITH A TINY SPACE SHUTTLE 
with potentials to launch and conduct flights to the Moon on a routine basis

TINY SPACE PROGRAM
The tiny space program operations conducted by the Big Brain machine space initiative and Humanoido Laboratories could also include civilian tourist flights to the matching tiny space station and outpost in space, Earth orbit, Moon, space sightseeing to the ISS International Space Station, conduct a rescue mission, or simply offer lower cost suborbital flights. The example illustrates the Golden Spike's Moon Landing Plan from space.com (which may have robot based occupants) as an example only, due to its smaller size and capacity, as well as its simple approach to a lunar mission. The Humanoido Lab approach is smaller than this

The current plan for Tiny Shuttle is to offer tourist orbits of the Moon. A trip to the Moon would be very dramatic upon arrival. In the future, colonists will live on the Moon and the tiny space program could offer the deployment of supplies and conduct orbital studies to find best locations for water and mineral mining. Small packages could be transported to the lunar colonists, containing new seeds for growing food, and special selected items as needed.

How tiny is Tiny? We anticipate two levels of the Tiny program. The first is exampling tiny and the second is one man capacity tiny.

Exploring Space

EXPLORING SPACE
The chart illustrates how the Big Brain Machine and Humanoido Laboratories conduct their own space program. Various levels of space are defined according to their exploration programs and space definitions.

Humanoid robots are adaptable to space
The Big Brain machine has a manned space program and has launched humans into Next and Near Space approximately 40 times.

There is always a risk associated with manned space flight and as the distance from Earth increases, so does the risk.

The robust Micro Space program is relatively safe and used for academic purposes, having launched insects and various instruments into space.

Solar panels can power a tiny outpost in space
Solar System Space and Ultra Space is currently safely explored with the array of very powerful telescopes and Monster Machines.

This includes the newest M3T, IT, ET and OT space omnipresence telescopes that are able to exist in multiple places at the same time.

For example, the large Big Brain supercomputer that controls these telescopes remains on Earth at the Deep Space Center and at the Ultra Space Administration while the space parts and components are at numerous locations in space, called Adjuncts.

Brain in a jar technology
Brain in a Jar technology could keep the space station operating autonomously and evolve to various applications.

Our space program is interested in developing a micro space shuttle and a micro outpost in space. This is an ongoing project that began decades ago.

We've periodically blogged these ideas and worked on evolving the designs. Many of the designs developed, i.e. space telescope, could be integrated into the program. This would take exploration into Solar System Space and create orbital flights. We are reaching the crossroads in space exploration and foresee a new technology breakthrough.

We are at the crossroads of space and time
Conjecturing, we wonder if the next step into space for man will be represented by the human being transformed into a space faring humanoid avatar.

Our solar system space program could be conducted with space stations, shuttles and other space equipment designed for humanoid robots which won't need to breathe air, eat bulky food, drink water, or create waste products as we know it. They will also have a greater range of thermal operations.

Big Brain Designs Outpost in Space

A tiny space shuttle and outpost in space
OUTPOST IN SPACE, MICRO SHUTTLE

BIG BRAIN SPACE PROGRAM DESIGNS - EARTH TO MOON AND IN BETWEEN

The Ultra Space Administration, conducted by the Big Brain Machine and Humanoido Labs, adds more designs to the construction of a tiny space shuttle.

The newest addition is a small outpost in space that can serve the small shuttle. Thus far, the actual projects are a one man vehicle and a one man outpost in space.

The budget program puts all the eggs in one basket for rock bottom space program pricing that can be quickly assembled and operated by a minimal team with minimal hardware by private industry.

The outpost in space project is a one man astronaut space station, complete with enough resources for a one week human stay. It includes docking, one habitat canister, solar panel, food, water, protects the occupant from solar and cosmic radiation, orientation propellant, space toilet, lighting and thermal control, one space suit, and a service area which doubles as an experiment bay.

Docking is provided to the micro shuttle and the space outpost with airlock transfer ability. The airlock shield and transfer pump allows air to be pumped out into air tanks so no air is wasted in the event of an astronaut pickup, spacewalk repair or robotic retrieval.

Optionally in place of a human, a humanoid robot could pilot the micro shuttle and visit the outpost in space for other services such as automatic supply, observation and reconnoitering, and extended presence stays where food and water are not consumed by the machine intelligence. It these cases, humanoids can subsist off the solar panel power grid and remain in space for very long periods of time. The actual sizes of the micro shuttle and the outpost in space are much smaller than depicted.

Mini Space Shuttle

Mini Shuttle smaller than the X37
BIG MACHINE BRAIN SUGGESTS MINI SPACE SHUTTLE CONSTRUCT
Overall design with cargo bay
Big enough to ferry an astronaut and supplies, small enough for space hoisting by private industry...

We're not sure why the electric machine Big Brain wants one of these. Perhaps it's to carry up a space telescope and parts, to study new machines in space, to assemble something, help save the Earth, rescue an astronaut, act as a life boat for the ISS Space Station, or make trips to the Moon.

The illustrative design is originally based on the X-37 from NASA and the recent X-37b from the USA Air Force. While the X37b is secretive, the proposed mini shuttle would operate for the Big Brain directive. The proposed MS would be substantially smaller than depicted here.

Of course the Experiment bay would be outfitted with astronaut seating, the control panel would be designed for a pilot, and supplies would stow under the seating.

Reentry with fire resistant fabric
The craft would have gliding capabilities during reentry and landing. The Mini Shuttle MS could visit space by riding in the cargo bay of larger rockets and return under its own capability.

Suggestions for enhancing the mini space shuttle craft include solar panels for extended stays in
Docking with the Space Station
space, small size for fit into rocket nose cone, light weight for minimal launch cost, hatch and payload bay doors for space walks/ mini satellite deployments/ observations with a space telescope and storage for extended stays in space (food, water, toilet packaging and ejection system) and air
Equipped for passengers
re-pressurization system for visiting and docking with other spacecraft, space stations, and space hotels.


Deploying solar panels
One design suggestion for the reusable space craft is a heat resistant replaceable fabric for fiery reentries into the Earth's atmosphere. Also the craft could orbit the Moon, observe through telescopes, and deploy tiny satellites and landers to the surface. The MS could also leave behind mini orbiters with capability of telescopes, radio transponders and relay stations.

Another design is for rescue. Maneuvering thrusters enable the craft to go to retrieve an astronaut flung out into space
One pilot
from the space station or other ship or retrieve an astronaut from an error in a space walk. In case of emergency, an astronaut from the space station could space walk to the mini shuttle and return to the Earth. The two passenger seats collapse flat to carry one injured or sick person. The craft could hold three, one of which is the pilot.

It's also determined the craft space could be configured the same size as a small Japanese or Chinese apartment with all spartan yet efficient amenities for longer stays living in space. The craft could also conduct limited space tours of orbital Earth and the Moon, plus offer spectacular sky views in space for not only tourism but scientific research.

It's possible to send up one astronaut specifically as a systems specialist to repair space equipment when a mini space shuttle is in operation. Astronaut Rick Mastracchio is shown space walking outside the ISS International Space Station. Credit: NASA
"Dream Chaser – which is a reusable lifting body vehicle based on the form of NASA Langley’s HL-20 spaceplane concept from the 1980s – can land on a conventional runway, unlike all of its capsule-based competitors. The plan is for Dream Chaser to land at the Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) at KSC." NASA

The Dream Chaser is a crewed suborbital and orbital[7] vertical-takeoff, horizontal-landing (VTHL) lifting-body spaceplane being developed by Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) Space Systems. The Dream Chaser is designed to carry up to seven people to and from low Earth orbit. The vehicle would launch vertically on an Atlas V rocket and land horizontally on conventional runways. Wikipedia
