Part 4 design of horizon probe is where one can see true a telescope equipped with all the sonar and measuring devices, as its not just a probe that will travel near the speed of light but it has four survival parts objective to remain outside in orbit just in space beyond heliosphere. Its a triangler design that can be launched from a conventional rocket booster. Each of the four segments can operate seperately but also engineered to propel true space as a unit or units . As review Icarus a scaled down version is probably perfect for round trips for Jupiter moons only problem is radiation shield as asteroids can compensate as a habitable force for fraction and carry own water one year in ISS was a documented achievement and no risk of gammer rays from earths sun star.
What if earth should fall ? Icarus there is no organisation of credible structure that can allow a small colony to exist and have circular capsule with International space station as a cost effective co existence. But as planet Earth becomes more threatened maybe asteroids parked outside Jupiter Moons called asteroid life. There are theoretical designs with some studies with the aim of new technologies designing a credible interstellar probe that will serve as a concept design is now. First there should be a comprehensive study on all asteroids and Jupiter Moons. But for a potential unmanned mission that could be launched before the end of the 21st century. Maybe the Icarus will utilize fusion based engine technology which would accelerate the spacecraft to approximately 10% to 20% the speed of light. It could be the plan for to probe for deep space it is in the plan to trail suns tail. The project is a five year design, study that began on the 30th September 2009 for this team. Matrix is always ready if an easy project arises and to date there has already been one conference. Two journal have been submitted which are currently in the preview stages. An aim is to always 'Respect' although it is hard to define outcome of some missions, voyager would be one of these.
The photos below have been added as here are some facts it might be too early to say that this project will pave the way for the cheapest airline tickets bound for outer-space, but its projected contributions to space exploration should definitely be huge.
Project Icarus is a Tau Zero Foundation initiative in collaboration with The British Interplanetary Society. Both organizations serve to promote the vision of manned space exploration and thus project Icarus has a solid support base and a well developed intellectual resource.Visit the Project Icarus website. Broadly stated, the purpose of Project Icarus is as follows. To design a credible interstellar probe that is a concept design for a potential mission in the 'coming centuries'. To allow a direct technology comparison with Daedalus and provide an assessment of the maturity of fusion based space propulsion for future precursor missions. To generate greater interest in the real term prospects for interstellar precursor missions that are based on credible science. To motivate a new generation of scientists to be interested in designing space missions that go beyond our solar system these are babies that haven't been born.
The goal of designing a credible interstellar spacecraft is a huge challenge and thus the research has been divided into 20 modules and this encompasses all of the spacecraft systems and sub-systems. These encompass all aspects of the design of the spacecraft. The project has been set up in three stages. Establish initial design team and complete Terms of Reference by September of Year 1 2009. This Fully assemble design team by the end of Year 1 (2009) Construct research program by the beginning of Year 2 and Team Icarus officially begins technical work by the spring of Year 2. (March 2010) We estimate that, with 20 volunteer designers, Project Icarus will require around 35,000 total man hours which will be spread over a five year research program culminating in the final design.
