Space1 Massive Rocket Engine

Old space engines of great complexity such as this liquid fueled rocket engine were discontinued by the space program for safety reasons and budgetary concerns. Too many liquid fuel valves, liquid flow pipes, and liquid regulators had too many clogging failures, causing the engine and the rocket to fail and blow up over the years of operations. New modern day rockets have led to a new type of reliable engine with far fewer parts and without being prone to failure from liquid fueled valves, pipes, liquid reservoirs and liquid flow regulators. New engines now have anticipatory specific thrust and burn packing with significant weight reduction and the control complexity eliminated.

SPACE1 MASSIVE ROCKET ENGINE
Space1 has taken delivery of the most massive and powerful rocket engine since the inception of the space tourism program, founded in January of 2014.

This will change the way Space1 does business, increasing the altitude of the rocket, allowing heavier and more payload, offering more thrust and power at liftoff and throughout the flight, enabling an increase in space born instrumentation and new flight controls, in flight recording devices and cameras, and making possible larger rockets with more crew astronauts. These heavy lift rockets with massive rocket engines are likely the rockets to take our space plane skyward for materials, experiments and astronauts for free flight return.

Complexity of old rocket engine piping and parts led to its demise. New rocket engines employed by Space1 have completely eliminated all of the archaic gadgetry that can cause a multitude of failures, fractures, and safety issues. Many rockets that blew up in earlier days of the space program were equipped with complicated liquid fueled engines.

Actually, it was necessary for Space1 operations to pick up the rocket engines, as the supplier would not offer delivery for obvious reasons. Direct pickup saved Space1 company an exorbitant amount of delivery money four times greater than the cost of a single engine!

Space1 as a tourist space program is moving faster than any space program has in the past. Since the move to the USA and working towards establishing a headquarters, rocket lab, rocket hangar, launch center, weather station, Space1 Headquarters Office, a mini observatory for tracking and guiding, and spaceport, never before has Space1 worked on so many things simultaneously, and accomplished so much in so little time. Space1 is working on a technologically high deadline and one that guarantees safety and launch implementation in a minimal time frame.

Space1 USA Reboot

Founder of Space1 shows the rocket engine throttle

SPACE1 USA REBOOT
The rebooting startup of Space1 in the USA has faced many challenges.
Interesting, most of these challenges are everyday common living events.

For example, at the rocket site, the land must be prepared, mowed and cut, leveled, the building structure put up and then upgraded with a foundation, existing structures will need to be upgraded for a Space1 hangar facility, Space1 Laboratory, and Space1 corporate office. Cement will be poured, and existing trees and bushes will be trimmed, cut and removed.

As temperatures currently are hanging around 100 degrees F. (in late June and July) with RH above 90%, and mosquitoes and rain storms are a hindrance, work is proceeding slowly. Vehicles must be brought up to specs, and the facilities installed and working.

Rocket facilities need special ventilation installed, with new security systems, inclusive of security doors, security flood lamps and motion detectors, along with security cameras and alarm systems.

Science equipment will be installed, including the robotics laboratory with emphasis on humanoids, a library, weather station, and possible special telescope observatory. Attention to inventory is also of paramount concern.

Special insulation and finishing is important to comply with space requirements. Rocket inventory is currently being developed inclusive of materials to build five new fleet rockets and a selection of rocket motors are being warehoused in preparation of the next 14 rocket launches (and/or tests) and space missions.

Space1 Ground Safety

SPACE1 GROUND SAFETY
Space1 is all about safe space, safety, and making space travel safe for human astronauts and space tourism. Space1 has also focused efforts on making down-to-Earth safe space.

— space safety is no accident⠀—

SUMMARY
Safe space is on everyone's mind from the beginning of the space program in the 1950s. However, it takes new innovation to bring dreams into reality.

People want safe space travel. Fewer people consider ground safety. Work continues at Space1 using a method of ground testing safety assurance. The new GTSA methods assure a good safety record for materials handling and storage, rocket and engine testing, and management of the launch and related factors such as weather dynamics.

ISSF Space safety magazine

METHODS
Safety adds up whether on the ground or in the air. The latest addition to our flight safety management program FSMP is a special safety observatory that can observe, monitor, and assess the atmospheric "seeing cell" in the determination of ground and flight conditions.

Creating and maintaining safety requires an important understanding of varied conditions and a balance of factors.

FACTORS TO CONSIDER
pressure, temperature, humidity, turbulence, strata, solar, rain, cloud, sinking or rising air, wind, ice, sleet, snow, hail, trade winds, jet stream, down-drafting, up-winding, rider cells, shade, zonal stratification, evaporation, dew point, season, radiation, shearing, weather indices, moisture variance, ramping, cooling, heating, expansion, contraction, impending gradients, retentive condition, elevation, differential mode, circulation, convection, hydrological cycle, atmosphere-biosphere interactions, rivers, lakes, oceans, land masses, elevated obstacles, biogeochemistry, low high density, ice-ocean coupling, heat exchanges, soil interactions, ice sheeting, aerosols, day/night morning/evening conditions, tidal conditions, planetary conditions, Coriolis effect, molecular carbon trapping, effects from cyclones, tornadoes, hurricanes, typhoons, distant storms, electrical discharge, static conditions, gusts, flanking drafts, lenticular anvils, lithosphere conditioning, cryospheric emination, tropospheric delineation, spill overshooting, and various conditions with anomaly and other predictive states.

Brain Cortex Jar Study Part 54

BRAIN CORTEX In the forth corridor, the spirit thermometer bisects the compartment making space for dual desiccators at this location. The jar has three remaining full size dessication compartments created by the corners of mounted power units. The jar study verifies the necessity of a sizable desiccation system. After the jar is hermetically sealed, RH will settle although the temperature may fluctuate based on the external temperature variance and heat given off by the internal energy source.

BRAIN CORTEX JAR STUDY PART 54
As work progresses on the construction of a brain in a jar and electric devices are coming together, experiments are conducted on the atmosphere occurring inside the jar.

With the jar kept a bit ajar on the lid, the temperature and humidity are monitored without the Desiccator Unit in place. As the temperature drops below 70 degrees Fahrenheit, we see the RH shooting up to 65 without any indoor climate control in place.

High levels of humidity are to be avoided inside the jar to prevent any surface sweating condensation and resulting corrosion, and as a result of this study, the jar will received a Quad Desiccator to bring down RH.

It's recommended to keep the jar sealed, activate the QD, and monitor the internal temperature particularly during charging to prevent any overheating conditions.

Desiccators can be removed for dessication recharging, by removing heat safe chemical crystals in the container and baking the contents on a metal pan in an oven to remove their moisture content. Instructions are on the web and follow all safety precautions.

The QD will reside in the four remaining corners produced by mounting the Power Units. In the fourth containment, a space bisection results leaving two narrow vertical corridors which are perfect for mounting cylindrical desiccators, one one each side of the spirit thermometer.

The QD is currently under construction, mainly involving a large collection of the dessication chemical. The dessication chemical is free by scrounging assorted sources and packaging.

Robot Explorer Weather Function Add Log 13

ROBOT EXPLORER WEATHER FUNCTION ADD LOG 13
Today, a weather function was added to the Titan Moon Robot Explorer. There's enough sensors and functions to serve as a remote outpost Titan Moon weather station in the remote part of the Solar System. Though sensors already reside inside the robot explorer, it's possible calculations can determine specific weather components to include temperature, wind velocity, wind direction, and elements of humidity that exist outside of the robot's compartments. The vehicle is also capable of measuring solar lighting conditions, determining day and night, dusk and dawn and shade conditions.

Radio Telescope Adds Spaceweather Radio

PART 5: ADDING SPACE WEATHER RADIO
RADIO TELESCOPE ADDS SPACE WEATHER
Add another receiver to your radio telescope observatory with internet connection. Point your browser to http://spaceweatherradio.com/index.php and click on Space Surveillance Radar. The site will pump live streaming audio from a radio telescope set up, we kid you not, in Roswell, New Mexico. The radio telescope will pick up echos and hear the passage of meteors and satellites, and perhaps other strange objects, overhead in the skies of Texas.

ABOUT THE RADAR
"Formerly known as NAVSPASUR, the Air Force Space Surveillance Radar transmits 800 kW of continuous-wave (CW) radio power into an east-west oriented fan beam at 216.98 MHz. The radar's primary mission is to track satellites and space debris for the US Space Command. It can detect objects as small as 10 cm orbiting 15,000 km above the earth's surface." 

"The Air Force Space Surveillance Radar transmits a 216.98 MHz signal into the heavens 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Meteors, satellites and spacecraft passing overhead reflect those signals back down to Earth. The radar's primary antenna is located near Lake Kickapoo, Texas. A few hundred miles away in Roswell, New Mexico, radio engineer and long-time spaceweather.com associate Stan Nelson picks up the echos using a yagi antenna on his roof."

THE RECEIVER
According to Stan, "I'm currently tuned to 216.97927 MHz. using (USB) Upper Side Band on a ICOM R8500 receiver. The antenna is a 13 element yagi pointing east with a 15 degrees upward tilt. The receiver audio is sent to a ACER PC (Vista Windows) line input. The audio is encoded running Edcast using AAC at 16Kb. I have a 20 db. pre-amp at the antenna feeding about 50 ft of RG8."

Other ham radio operators in the southern USA may wish to try picking up the signals themselves. Sample reflections and observing tips may be found at these web sites: Ghosts of Fireballs Past (Science@NASA)
 

Near Space Launch Morning May 2

The clock was ticking the countdown to an early morning launch

NEAR SPACE LAUNCH ON MAY 2, 2013

Robotic flight machine at the launch site

The morning time Near Space launch was well underway by 8:30 am for this new suborbital space flight. 

The goal was to test GPS positioning hardware and software 7.2 miles altitude in Near Space above the Sea of China, and to test the new Tiny Space Telescope during the daytime, pointed at the Sun for celestial navigation positioning.

Space Administration Asian launch map with key cities

A weather front blocked viewing above 7.2 miles

At 9:30 am, observations were being recorded for altitude, temperature, spacecraft elapsed time, comparative ground speed, space imagery, compass, distance and time to reentry position.

GPS and cell phones with GPS did not work due to blocked signals. The spacecraft was never positioned where the cockpit window viewed the sun and the telescope was not useful. No fix on any sun-like celestial object was possible. Internet did not work and instruments reporting from internet failed.

Agency trucks and equipment transports

Realtime weather reporting did not work. There was no access to WiFi and Carrier Services failed.

Localized in-flight cockpit instruments, like the magnetic compass, were fully functional. iPhone localized apps were fully functional.

Magnetic Compass app fully functional

At 7.2 miles altitude, an unusual haze appeared above, blocking daytime observations of stars and planets with the telescope.

The Moon was not visible through the cockpit window (The Moon was an early morning object in Last Quarter phase and positioned at 2 am, outside the time frame of this space flight). No daytime data was collected through the telescope.

Tenuous weather above 7.2 miles

Overcast skies and a mountain range were visible during final reentry approach

Left: Near Space is seen at 7.2 miles high. Note the unusual light tenuous clouds not seen in other Near Space flights. This image is unprocessed. Usually the sky above the 6-mile mark is very clear.

Another image, shown above, has heavy processing to show the details of these light tenuous wisps of banding weather front clouds. These bands could interfere with space telescope operations causing light absorption and limiting stellar magnitude.

Looking down on the Earth, all throughout the flight, only complete cloud cover was monitored. The launch was overcast and so was the reentry. Note the special panorama image taken during reentry and final approach, showing overcast skies, haze and mist, and mountains. Landing occurred at the base of these mountains at an unspecified location.
