NewSpace rockets __ EELVs __ Ares-I __ REVISED Orion/Ares-I __ FAST-SLV __ chances of success
..
.. .. EELVs, Falcon-9, Dragon, CXV... .. it's from the early days of the ESAS plan that I read on forums and blogs LOTS of peoples suggesting them as possible alternatives to the Ares-I, Ares-V and Orion, but, unfortunately, these are NOT real alternatives NOW and could be used ONLY under some conditions .. NewSpace Companies' chances of success: so far, they have NOT accomplished just ONE 100% successful orbital launch, while, to replace the Ares-I, they must develop an RS-68/SSME class engine and use it to build a 30 mT payload VERY RELIABLE rocket (then, it can't be the Falcon-9 that has less payload and too much engines to be man-rated) that should show a good launch rate that effort needs very much time and money, so, they could succeed ONLY if NASA will fail with the Ares-I or the Ares-I development will need too much time (8+ years) as explained in my NewMars thread he http://newmars.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=5390 .. EELVs' chances of success: the best success rate EELVs have less than HALF the payload the (current design) Orion+LAS needs to launch, the, they can be used ONLY if the Orion will be RESIZED down to a Soyuz-like capsule the biggest EELVs on the market (Proton, Ariane5 and Delta IV Heavy) have a likewise smaller max payload than necessary so, if they can/ will be man-rated, could be used ONLY for the orbital/ISS launches (with less propellent in the SM tanks, 2 mT rather than 8 mT for TEI) and/or a 30% resized lunar-Orion as explained in this article: http://www.gaetanomarano.it/articles/010arianecev.html launch the 30 mT Orion+LAS needs the development of a bigger, cheap, safe, reliable and man-rated EELV that needs very much MONEY and TIME (with many unmanned launches, to know its real success rate) so, I'm not sure if a new and bigger EELV would cost less than the Ares-I or could be ready to fly sooner .. Ares-I's chances of success: in its current version the Ares-I's chances are LOW due to the problems NASA must solve to develop and launch it and MAINLY due to the (3-years/$3Bn R&D) 5-segments SRB and the (6-years/1Bn R&D) J-2x, so, it could be ready to fly when many bigger EELVs and private rockets will be already available on the market (from years!) at a fraction of the Ares-I price! the 5-segments Ares-I could increase its chances of success ONLY if NASA adopts SOON (and modify for air-start) a ready available engine like the Vulcain-2 as explained in this article: http://www.gaetanomarano.it/articles/024aresF.html .. REVISED Orion/Ares-I chances of success: (in my opinion) the ESAS plan has lots of mistakes, but "the mother of all ESAS mistakes" clearly IS the TOO BIG ORION that (obviously) needs a TOO BIG ARES-I since all ISS and moon missions will have a cerw of 3/4 astronauts, there is NO NEED of a bigger six-seats ("2045's Mars missions ready") Orion but just a RESIZED 4-seats version (that needs a resized SM, LAS and Ares-I) this is the ONLY way for NASA to develop and LAUNCH the Orion/Ares-I duo with a reasonable amount of money and within a reasonable amount of time, so (maybe) it could be launched in 2013 (just three years after the Shuttle retirement) here some links about how to design a smaller, simpler and LIGHTER Orion, LAS and Ares-I: http://www.gaetanomarano.it/articles/019orionlight.html http://www.gaetanomarano.it/articles/020newLAS.html http://www.gaetanomarano.it/articles/022orionTPS.html .. (May 12, 2006) "FAST-SLV" (or ***SIMILAR*** August 2006 "Direct" and January 2007 "Jupiter") chances of success: MY (May 12, 2006) IDEA of a "FAST-SLV" (made with cheaper, ready available and man-rated engines and motors) [ http://www.gaetanomarano.it/articles/005_SLVnow.html ] (or the ***LATER*** and ***SIMILAR*** Direct/Jupiter) could have some chances of success ONLY if the Ares-I will fail, but, if NASA will have enough time and money to develop it, the chances for MY "FAST-SLV" concept (or the ***LATER*** and ***SIMILAR*** Direct/Jupiter) should be nearly ZERO .. .. |

I think it's time to killfile you. You're not adding anything useful to the discussions here with your repeated postings of these drawings and talking points. You seem determined to make so many drawings that whatever NASA ends up doing, you'll be able to claim that you thought of it first. Your rants are similar to Bob Haller, except you have a web page.
