A Near Space Charter.

Chapter twenty could see ion engines on light weight struts that are cool could drive a mega-balloon into orbit in ‘three to nine days on a dollar and a dime.’ 
This might be fine for supplies of water not practical for astronauts to dock up to international space station as it currently stands. But there are alternatives to power up if light weight materials were used. Mr Powell intends to conduct an ion engine test at an altitude of 100,000 feet by the end of this year. As the time line stretches toward its latter stages, the details get fuzzier.  Can JP Aerospace, which is pursuing the problem on a pay-as-you-go basis, get enough helium to fill miles-long balloons and keep them replenished image? 
Could such a craft really attain the Mach 25 velocity required for introduction orbital flight even over a martian surface ?
How would an Orbital Ascender deal with micro-meteoroids and the other inclement like weightlessness weather that takes place outside Earth's atmosphere? How would JP Aerospace's tests be regulated as like Concorde Aircraft ? as he disclosed to space cruising "We're working on a regular aircraft certification," Powell said, "which is a big bear an expensive, but known design. 'The company usually takes researchers and scientific experiments into near-space.' Image above does show a space cruising library with all the stars.

If balloons offer scientists the chance to see earth and onto space observations, study atmospheric science, to demonstrate technology in zero gravity conditions and conduct drop testing. 
Zero 2 Gravity they have a huge market. Recently collaborated with Spanish university as to simplify process, Universitat Jaume, to send its humanoid robot called NAO into space. Space tourists will journey to earth's outer limits in a capsule that can hold six people - four passenger and two pilots. Annelie Schoenmaker of A Spanish company Zero2Infinity, said: 'The ride will be very gentle and peaceful as well as environmentally friendly. 'Passengers will be able to see the sun and the stars at the same time, while looking down on the curvature of the earth.' The passenger pod is carried into near-space by a high tech balloon and then separates after cruising above the earth for two hours. 
As It is carried back to Earth by a para-foil when passengers will briefly experience zero gravity. Adventurer Artemy Lebedev who is one of the few people on the planet to have visited every country, has already signed up for a trip to near-space.
A Spanish company will begin there commercial operations will begin in 2015 but a trip will cost around £95,000 per person.Ms Schoenmaker said. 'The experience will be very much like that in an aeroplane although there will be a period of about 30 seconds when passengers will experience weightlessness and will be able to float around the cabin.'Everything is customised to the person's individual requirements. We can partition off part of the cabin for those who want more privacy and we can even serve them Michelin star meals if that's what they want.'The pod is large enough to carry six passengers - four space tourists and two pilots. The company's 'Bloons' are usually used to conduct science experiments in near space for a university jaume spain it makes for perfect science as it's only a balloon journey has safety features can it become business that's ? 

Zero 2 infinity develops technologies to enable cost-efficient access to near-space with zero environmental impact flying solutions. The collaboration aims to advance in the development of robotics by offering a real platform to test university’s research in robotic intelligence. A pod is pictured beside a robot that was sent into space by a Spanish university to test its research in robotic intelligence with photos tasks.While it currently offers trips for scientific researchers as well as equipment in its 'Bloon' pods, it is targeting couples and families with this new venture. 
Zero2Infinity's largest pod, which carries six people, has 15 square metres of windows for amazing views of the Earth and space. The company is currently doing test flights and raising more investment for its new venture. The balloons lift off from an aerodrome in Cordoba, Spain - although the location has not been confirmed . Ascent from the Earth's surface to an altitude of 36 kilometres takes just one hour. 
The balloon and pod fly for around two hours at a height that is twice that of Concorde's cruising altitude new air-frame proposed clarity and this driven by profitable endeavour a marketing pioneer. The balloon vents gas to descend like a normal hot air balloon. The pod separates from the balloon, attached to a para-foil, which allows the passengers to experience zero gravity for around two minutes. Guided descent to a landing area takes around 40 minute. A Bloon begins its ascent from the Earth's surface (pictured left) to an altitude of 36 kilometres. They then fly for around two hours at a height that is twice that of Concorde's cruising altitude.

Express Asteroid 1999JU3

Part nineteen figuring out the origin of this asteroid rotating between earth and mars.

Asteroid life as sampling from 1999JU3 it travels between mars and earth with Hayabusa two returning these for analysis. As it will observe the entire surface of the asteroid 1999JU3 using a variety of remote sensing instruments. The spacecraft will then release a small lander called Mascot and a rover named Minerva 2 on the asteroid's surface to explore the surface in more detail. As the Japanese scientists successfully test asteroid-blasting cannon that could reveal the origins of the universe. 
Japanese scientists said the launch of the space cannon will be next year. It will be flown on board the Hayabusa-2 vehicle towards the asteroid. The cannon will fire a 4lb metal projectile into the surface of the asteroid. Researchers hope to find organic material from the early solar system. A space cannon that will blast a hole into an asteroid to find out the origins of the universe has been tested by Japanese scientists. The device will be used to gather data about the composition of the asteroid, named 1999JU3, and help investigate how water and life were created on 'grand space cruiser' shares an orbit between earth and mars its unique. Shown here it about size of Germany approx in square kilometers a medium safe threat going forward its an important mission.  

The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) said the successful test has paved the way for a launch of the space cannon as early as next year.  The space cannon will be flown on board the Hayabusa-2 vehicle (pictured) towards the asteroid, which orbits between 'Earth and Mars'. 

The successful test has paved the way for a launch of the cannon next year. The space cannon will be flown on board the Hayabusa-2 vehicle towards the asteroid, which orbits between Earth and Mars. Once it arrives at the asteroid in 2018. The Hayabusa 2 will observe the entire surface of the asteroid using a variety of remote-sensing instruments. Hayabusa means falcon in Japanese. Hayabusa 2 is a successor to JAXA's earlier asteroid explorer Hayabusa, which returned the first asteroid samples to Earth in June 2010. Hayabusa 2 is the third mission to land on an asteroid. Nasa's NEAR-Shoemaker mission was the first mission to touchdown on an asteroid seen here on space cruising view this full documentary Hayabusa soon.

Hayabusa 2 is the second asteroid sample-return mission. 
The space cannon will, following this initial analysis, detach itself and remotely fire a 4lb metal projectile into the surface of the 1999JU3 asteroid. A probe will then land and collect debris samples from the impact to bring back to Earth. Scientists are intrigued by asteroid 1999JU3 as it is thought to have been altered very little since the formation of the solar system. Japanese researchers hope to find water and organic material from the early solar system in the material collected. The space cannon will detach and remotely fire a 4lb metal projectile into the surface of the miniature planet. 

This data could shed light on how planets form and life arises. The asteroid is currently scheduled to be blasted in 2018 and the probe will make its back to Earth by the end of the decade. Hayabusa-2 is the second project from Japan to recover particles from deep space. It builds on the success of Hayabusa, which in gathered surface dust from an asteroid and returned to Earth in 2010. The asteroid is currently scheduled to be blasted in 2018 and the probe will make its back to Earth by the end of the decade. The data could shed light on how planets form and life arises.

Ballooning In A Faraday.

Part eighteen space cruising had said it taken decades ballooning a launch into space is easiest way for astronauts to get into lower orbit with large panels or orbiting earth why not?
A company has finally got a design depending more on hot air than rocket science this arizona start-up company will balloon fly passengers in daylight up to edge of space goes black, World View, has unveiled plans for a balloon ride to the stratosphere, offering passengers about two hours of space-like views from 19 miles above Earth. Its a new space orbiter uses a balloon this could even seal an orbiter for use as a hotel, some egg like designs emerge more of a light pressure aircraft for to manufacture, even laser proof.
While it's not quite space that starts at 62 miles the plan requires approval from the Federal Aviation Administration, which oversees commercial space. Fly to the edge of space near weightless as they will let you sip a drink at on-board bar while soaring 19 miles above Earth. World View Enterprises announced plans Tuesday to send people up in a capsule, lifted 19 miles by a high-altitude balloon. The flight would take 90 minutes to go up at about 1,000 feet a minute, set sail up high for 2 hours. The luxury capsule will allow passengers to walk around and get a drink from the bar. The latest space tourism venture aims to send paying customers to the edge of space and give them the same awe inspiring view that adventurer Felix Baumgartner stared down upon last year - all for $75,000 a ticket. 
To the edge of space: World View Enterprises announced plans Tuesday to send people up in a capsule, lifted 19 miles by a high-altitude balloon. Jane Poynter, CEO of the Tucson, Ariz.-based company, said the price for the four-hour ride would be $75,000 The company expects to begin flight tests of a demonstration vehicle this year in Arizona and plans to start selling tickets at $75,000 per person within a few months, said Chairwoman and President Jane Poynter - with commercial flights by 2016.

'There are balloons this size that have already flown up many, many times for decades,' Poynter said. 'From a technical point of view this is incredibly doable, low risk. 'The selling point is the view of the Earth and seeing its curve, she said. The venture isn't designed for passengers to experience weightlessness . Indeed, the flight will be more like that of Red Bull daredevil Felix Baumgartner, the Austrian adventurer who leapt from a balloon 24 miles above the Earth, smashing the sound barrier during his supersonic skydive descent as he landed safely yea OK ?

Space flight has been achieved in many crafts. As here is a image of a fun casting by space cruising, this is a small inexpensive craft with a helmet camera. These are done for display pieces as they are called done its. Kits for space are reasonable and with power full RC one can make there very own space clip on a dollar and dime may even be called  NASA as one can zoom up on satellites. The selling point is the view of the Earth and seeing its curve, she said. The venture isn't designed for passengers to experience weightlessness. This Lift-off Initially, six passengers and two pilots would be aboard a pressurized capsule that is still under development. 'We promise we won’t open the door and have you jump back to Earth,' Poynter joked. The flight would take '90 minutes' to go up at about 1,000 feet a minute, set sail up high for 2 hours with an emphasis on smooth riding, hit an altitude of 19 miles and then come back down in 40 minutes, Poynter said. 
The capsule's interior will be roomy enough for its eight passengers to walk around and even get a drink at an on-board bar - but unfortunately there will be experiencing of weightlessness. ‘Seeing the Earth hanging in the ink-black void of space will help people realize our connection to our home planet and to the universe around us, and will surely offer a transformation experience to customers,' Jane Poynter, world view's chief executive officer, said in a core statement. This picture is of a reentry vehicle with a docking port for International space station. 

This flight would take 90 minutes to go up at about 1,000 feet a minute, set sail up high for 2 hours with an emphasis on smooth riding, and then come back down in 40 minutes. 
Pilot Felix Baumgartner of Austria jumps out of the capsule during the final manned flight for Red Bull Stratos on October 14, 2012 in space. 'We look forward to pioneering this new, accessible and affordable spaceflight regime, and to sharing the breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime experience with people from around the globe. 'By comparison, rides aboard Space ShipTwo – a suborbital six-passenger, two-pilot vehicle owned by Virgin Galactic, an offshoot of Richard Branson’s London-based Virgin Group is expected to reach about 68 miles. 
At that altitude, passengers will experience a few minutes of weightlessness in addition to seeing the curvature of the Earth set against the black sky of space. World View capsules would be propelled by a 40 million cubic-foot (1.1 million cubic-meter) helium balloon and a steerable parafoil, an inflatable wing-shaped parachute - which would steer them gently to the ground once they disconnected from the giant helium balloon. Outside magazine space expert Scott Pace, a former NASA associate administrator now space policy director at George Washington University, agreed that this is technically feasible.

Maped visuals of planets.

Part seventeen show detailed maps of mars as they become available to all using mars maps. It will show every inch of this stunning terrain as new images of Mars for centuries' ‘Grand

Canyon’ have been captured in 3D by the European Space Agency’s (ESA’s) Mars Express.The deep valley, named Hebes Chasma, is a strange 196-mile (315km) scar that sits almost right in the middle of the Martian equator on the northern edge of the Valles Marineris canyon.It is an enclosed, almost 8 km-deep trough stretching 315 km in an east–west direction and 125 km from north to south at its widest point. Mars in 3D: Stunning images reveal red planet's 'Grand Canyon' in unprecedented detail - and provide clues to its volcanic beginnings. 
Hebes Chasma is a 196-mile scar that sits close to the Martian equator. Origin is associated with tectonic shifts from the volcanic Tharsis Region. The debris that fills the canyon floor shows that enormous landslides also played a key role in shaping. The deep valley, named Hebes Chasma, is a strange 196-mile (315km) scar that sits almost right in the middle of the Martian equator on the northern edge of the Valles Marineris canyon. Layers with Carbonate Content Inside McLaughlin Crater on Mars This view of layered rocks on the floor of McLaughlin Crater shows sedimentary rocks that contain spectroscopic evidence for minerals formed through interaction with water.

Here is an example of space garden below, so when water misbehaves its amazing this reveals how super-high temperatures cause droplets to travel uphill in even small carved indents.This is because of something known as the 'Leidenfrost Effect'. The effect causes the water to levitate on the evaporated gas vapour . Movement can be changed by adjusting the surface texture and temperature. The skittering of water occurs because a surface is about twice as hot as the liquid's boiling point. 
This causes the water to levitate on the evaporated gas vapour which acts a barrier that keeps the droplet and the hot surface separated. Researchers at Bath University have found that water droplets can be made to climb up a steep incline using the Leidenfrost effect – the sharper the teeth of the surface, the steeper incline they were able to climb The Leidenfrost Maze guides water droplets in different directions using specially-arranged grooved hotplates Here is an example of a flat shuttle interpreted version of the a concorde.

Numerous grooves are etched into the mountain, suggesting the material is weak and easily eroded  A similar feature is visible at the opposite end of the mound, as seen in the full-colour image. Other landslide deposits are seen all over the floor of Hebes Chasma, many coming from the main canyon walls.The canyon walls and the mesa feature a number of grooves, suggesting the material is weak and easily eroded.In another image, a band of darker material is seen between two layers of light material. 

It also make a lot of sense to use robotic aerial platforms to explore other planets in our solar system, and in the case of Mars, a rocket powered airplane although rely on satellites these should be able to deploy looking cave structures with small metal round ball, called investigative insects could be put out to give an optimum configuration. With this type of mission, we could bridge the gap between small "local" scale measurements of lander and rovers and large "global" scale measurements of orbiters. By covering hundreds of kilometers in a short amount of time, an airplane could obtain a whole new class of atmospheric and geological data from Mars. Just think about the way airplanes have changed the way we live on Earth, and you can start to understand how they could revolutionize our exploration of other planets.

New Energy Developments.

Chapter sixteen is a new scientist of energies released simultaneous array in motion without square of pressure and in safety. Here estimate that one kilogram of fusion fuel can provide the same amount of energy as 10 million kilograms of fossil fuel.
Self-sustaining nuclear fusion may be one step closer to reality after scientists in the U.S. have, for the first time, created more fusion energy than fuel for the process consumed. Fusion is the process that heats the Sun and all other stars. It occurs when atomic nuclei collide together and release energy in the form of neutron.
Fusion scientists and engineers are developing the technology to use this process in tomorrow's power stations. Scientists estimate that one kilogram of fusion fuel can provide the same amount of energy as 10 million kilograms of fossil fuel. But up until now, the main problem has been that nuclear fusion experiments always required more energy than they were able to create. As oil has lead research according to the researchers at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) at Livermore in California have now been able to shift that balance over to fusion.

Self-sustaining nuclear fusion may be one step closer to reality after scientists in the U.S. have, for the first time, created more fusion energy than that consumed by the fuel to drive the process. Nuclear fusion, the same process that the sun uses to create energy, could provide the world with much-needed cheap energy.
Its a step closer to living in a world with endless energy resources as perfecting sustained energy source has interchanges? Scientists make nuclear fusion break even for the first time. More fusion energy as they produced than used by the fuel to drive this process Research could lead to self-sustaining nuclear fusion and cheaper energy. Scientists estimate that one kilogram of fusion fuel can provide the same amount of energy as 10 million kilograms of fossil fuel.192 of the world’s most powerful lasers, the NIF heated a small pellet of hydrogen to millions of degrees.

consumed. Using 192 of the world's most powerful lasers, the NIF heated a small pellet of hydrogen to millions of degrees. Researchers have been working towards this kind of breakthrough since the facility began construction in 1997.The facility is the brainchild of the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration. It holds a 130 tonne target chamber where the neutrons are fired by the 192 lasers stimulate the fusion reaction.
The holes in the chamber, which is 10 metres in diameter and covered in 30 cm thick concrete, permits the 192 laser beams to enter the chamber. The temperatures inside the chamber are more than 100 million degrees and create pressures more than 100 billion times Earth's atmospheric pressures. The temperatures inside the chamber are more than 100 million degrees and create pressures more than 100 billion times Earth's atmospheric pressure.

Space Cruisers Designs.

Chapter fifteen some engines have been put on hold, here are some more interesting markets.
It might look a little bit like a novelty, or a static boat, even a kids house. But is space becoming intriguing enough to create sales? the market suggests concept is being ignored.  So here is a 'Space Station Three Bed', as an all in one egg design. As Belgian architects have managed to squeeze essential components of a normal home into a giant egg here is a preview drawing of a re entry design concept needs a wind tunnel as its composed of mycelium get idea. 
Design below is called the pod, which measures only '215 square feet', with more windows than one could ask for and contains a kitchen, bathroom and bedroom. This is a space saver that could be launched off a launchpad. As it is a polyester with a plywood shell its a fun 'space park'. The design was originally conceived as a solution for an Italian design firm. They were struggling to get planning permission, for an office extension. 
So here was Italian solution as architect squeezes a kitchen, bedroom and a bathroom into a giant egg that in theory could get you to a martian moon . The egg-shaped micro-house measures is just 215 square feet. But it has plenty of storage space in the form of chubby holes - that people can even sleep in 'smart'. Design was dreamed up by Belgian architects dmvA as temporary office space for a client as they couldn't get planning permission for an official extension could also fit into a loft with a circular stairwell.

Mycelium can bond together agricultural by products like corn stalks into a material that can replace plastic foam. Ecologically, mycelium's function is to break down waste. As it does this it secrets various products including enzymes, lipids, proteins, which act as glue and hold things together. 
Mycelium is the unseen part of a mushroom which consists of millions of tiny fibres. ‘Eben made the observation while he was taking a stroll in the woods, that fungal mycelium was growing on the wood chips and holding them together,’ McIntyre told   ‘The thought process was — can we use mycelium as the growing glue’ Ecologically, mycelium’s function is to break down waste. As it does this it secrets various products including enzymes, lipids, proteins. This design named Blob VB3 micro-house is made from polyester and plywood and is intended to be used as an office, guestroom or garden house. 
The pod is designed to be as big as a three bead apartment, which measures only 215 square feet, contains a kitchen, bathroom (seen at the centre of the image) and bedroom space in a polyester and plywood shell Fully lit, the house can have a warm glow inside, which looks like a yellowy egg and has multiple openings to increase the amount of living space available. The Blob VB3 micro-house came about as the local planning authority refused to give permission for any permanent structures, which enabled quirky architectural firm dmvA to come up with its aesthetically-pleasing design that is small and mobile, reported. 
The firm says its egg is easily transportable and can be used as an office, guestroom or garden house as the space is so flexible. In order to squeeze the functions of a much larger home into the micro-house, the interior was designed to have lots of cubby holes to house kitchen essentials, separate the bathroom from the main space (at the pointier end of the egg) and provide space to sleep.

It might look a little bit like a novelty static boat but Belgian architects have managed to squeeze essential components of a normal home into a giant egg. The design was originally conceived as a solution for an Italian design firm that was struggling to get planning permission for an office extensional order to squeeze the functions of a much larger home into the micro-house. 

This interior was designed to have lots of cubby holes to house kitchen essentials and separate the bathroom from the main space is full lit, the house can have a warm glow inside, which looks like a yellowy egg. People who live or work in the egg can open a large upwards-lifting door or 'nose' to create a porch or canopy,  extending their living space. Some of the cubbyholes are joined up to allow for people to sleep in 'bunks' alongside other holes which house their possessions. People who live or work in the egg can open a large upwards-lifting door or 'nose' to create a porch or canopy, extending their living space.
