Mook simply wears out keyboards. *~ BG -- Greg Moore Ask me about lily, an RPI based CMC. Greg, you obviously don't know a damn thing about how to get things done. Clearly a thing must be designed before it is built. Plainly that means things have to be worked out in detail on computer. Surely, I am free to discuss and share the results of my efforts here or anywhere. You sound like you suffer from 'small man' syndrome, and are merely jealous of the ideas, capabilities, knowledge and women I have. lol. I got a new keyboard, and that's not the only thing I wear out with my 6 ft 3 in frame! lol. http://www.scribd.com/doc/35449912/S...tellite-Orbits http://www.scribd.com/doc/30943696/ETDHLRLV http://www.scribd.com/doc/31261680/Etdhlrlv-Addendum http://www.scribd.com/doc/35439593/S...-Satellite-GEO My company operates along the successful project financing model. TO that end we promote and sponsor a wide range of projects that create value using solar energy and my proprietary technology throughout the world, and in this case, beyond it. I have recently developed a business plan for four satellites like those described here with the four powering 32,000 ground stations totaling 40,000 MW capacity. This energy when sold at $0.06 per kWh generates revenue valued at $275 billion the day it is switched on. Selling off nearly half this value to investors over the five year construction program provides them with a compounded 40% annual rate of return for the $44 billion placed at risk. This is quite an exciting program and has the potential to radically alter our relationship to the cosmos. Half the budget is used to build a fleet of reusable heavy lift launchers. The other half is used to build a supply chain and operate it to build four satellites described above, along with the compact ground stations. The project plan ends here. However, success opens other possibilities. Once the initial complement of satellites is operational half the revenue generated by those satellites is used to continue building and launching five satellites per year adding $300 billion per year to the project's valuation. Within a few years the project is worth over $1 trillion. Rather than blindly launching a continuous stream of 10 GW satellites, it makes sense to consider what might be done with a small portion of the revenue in developing more advanced systems. Systems that are too complex to consider out of the box. These more advanced systems will service smaller users directly, send energy to mobile as well as stationary users, and operate more efficiently in the solar system, rather than be bound to Earth. So, accepting a little higher risk, following initial success at lower risk, the same launchers may also launch an advanced satellite system that builds on the knowledge gained by building the first generation satellite. Here, there are a two satellites consisting of two 500 m diameter CPV targets with no concentrator. One satellite, the Receiver, flies from LEO to GEO using solar powered ion rockets normally used for station keeping. Another satellite, the Transmitter, flies from LEO to L1 using its ion station keeping rockets. The transmitter beams 160 MW of energy from L1 to GEO which then gets reformed and directed into 160,000 beams of 1 kW each. Unlike its predecessor, this satellite is capable of beaming energy to moving as well as stationary targets, at far higher energy than previously. This satellite test proves out some of the most difficult elements of the advanced satellite system. If successful, the advanced satellite will restart its ion engines and fly a Hohmann transfer orbit to Jupiter. There it will execute a sling shot maneuver to bring it to zero speed relative to the Sun. It will then fall into the Sun. When the Transmitter's altitude reaches a mere 3.75 million km from the Sun, it executes a method of station keeping using controlled reflection of ineffective photons. In this way it hovers above the solar surface beneath the Earth as it orbits the Sun. At this distance the Transmitter is now capable of beaming 250,000 MW of laser energy to the Receiver, which generates 220 million laser beams, each 1 kW to stationary and mobile receivers throughout the world. At $0.04 per kWh the revenue stream generated by the satellite pair is worth over $1 trillion. A successful installation of this very difficult and risky system, will result in the installation of 70 more over the three years following the first one. 70 of these satellites replaces all our present energy use and captures the revenues now earned by OPEC and others in the energy business. Success at this level allows us to consider taking some risks in our launch infrastructure to expand capabilities there. At this point a program to develop a replacement engine for the RS-68 derived aerospike engine using 220 GW of laser power beamed to a launcher, will be funded. The result will be the conversion of the five multi-element launchers into a fleet of thirty-five SSTO launchers of similar capacity. This combined with improvements in the CPV arrays will allow pairs of satellites each 2.5 km in diameter to be placed in space. When operated at 3.75 million km these will generate 7.8 trillion watts of laser energy. This energy is beamed throughout the solar system to be used for any of a variety of industrial processes, including making use of asteroids to feed space factories that make things on orbit by remote control and dispatch them to any point on Earth. Also, MEMS based laser rocket arrays make possible the personal spaceship and personal ballistic travel to all. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxV2FCUESh0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzG4PEureFg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QAUkt2VPHI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzXwctPXT4c |

See page 5: http://www.scribd.com/doc/31261680/Etdhlrlv-Addendum Note how the Cruise Missile is launched like a rocket, then flies like an airplane, after unfolding its wings and tail. http://www.howstuffworks.com/cruise-....htm/printable http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x17...issile_extreme Listening to Freddie you would believe such things were impossible. Clearly, they are achieved, and the only question is how much the wing system weighs for the recovery system needed for an RLV. The answer is, not much! Just look at the mass of the wing system and what it lifts, and compare that to the structural weight of an empty RLV stage - and note that the system will be towed in flight back to the launch center by a recovery aircraft. I give the numbers in my addendum above. |

Riddle me this, does your ET based design somehow stuff the wings into *externally* mounted pods on the side, or does the tank have slots built into it so the wings can fold into the ET? If the former, I'm still wondering how those big wings fit into that small space on your drawings. Jeff -- The only decision you'll have to make is Who goes in after the snake in the morning? |
