Enjoy this exciting sneak preview into one of the most fantastic conference meetings ever held by SPACE1 in Hong Kong.
Our big SPACE1 Conference was held on land in Hong Kong on Thursday and Friday, September 6th and 7th, 2018. These are the meeting proceedings for those unable to fly in and attend.
Board members reiterated telescope policy to keep the massive Xtelescope fully assembled and installed outdoors at Skyscraper Observatory with the Heat Shield intact, for the next several weeks and then to reevaluate conditions at that time. The conference reviewed local conditions for projects and Singularity Observatory, analyzing weather fronts and the massive telescope on the Skyway for the Typhoon and Monsoon season. The local conditions include extreme heat, storms and rain with days and
nights cloudy and overcast, the possible front end of the Monsoon
season. This is also the season for typhoons but none have approached
yet. The good news is days and nights are a few degrees less hot moving into September and
some nights are now less than 100-degrees. Rockets: Due to the potential of outdoor heat stroke at temperatures up
to 122 degrees, heat exhaustion, excessive heat weather, all launch
missions and work at outdoor facilities are on hold at this time. Indoor
work continues at the rocket lab and this interim period is deemed
ideal for organizing after the move. Heat Shield Condition & Telescope State: After 3 weeks, the
telescope heat shield was inspected. Singularity Observatory Director
Humanoido reports the Heat Shield is holding up 100% in the relative
absence of an ozone layer and is deflecting very strong solar radiation
UV rays of 7 and 8, strong rain and constant weather temperature
recycling. No crazing or cracking of the medium is visible. The board
reviewed the state of our space telescope and finds it to be in
excellent condition awaiting the install and calibration of the
secondary telescope which will be used for manually finding objects
until space is created for the full functioning of the Goto and the AI
sub-telescope. An analysis was performed regarding the number of stars
and planets available for plate solving.
Programs: The board voted on which programs will be funded and
installed. As Mars is receding, prime focus is now on the Lunar
colonization and exploration programs. Voting concluded to fund and
maintain our presence on the Moon with continuing trinary programs. Work
continues on various missions including a Lunar Lander, Lunar Polar Orbiter and the Far Side Orbital Lunar
Reconnaissance Mission. Blogging on these projects will be minimal. Secondary Telescope: A study of the secondary telescope is
now completed and the method of focus is now fully established and
preset to facilitate the installation process. Goto Disabling: Goto is
still an issue and must be disabled during the install to prevent the
telescope from crashing into the Mission Control glass door to the north
or the protective cast iron railing to the south east. We are opening
up a time slot for experimenting with homing and goto disabling when
conditions permit. Telescope Impedance: The telescope was moved
southward so the constructive granite wall is no longer an issue. The
mounting was established farther SE and installed up on the safety lip,
and leveled, with polar alignment in effect using true N electronics.
New Location: Also reviewed is the long term potentiality of trading up,
purchasing a new building of larger dimensions, one to fit the
telescope's full goto functions, tool room, a larger observatory, and
larger/more rooms. It's also necessary to find locations where food and
water exist, medical supplies, hospitals, restaurants, etc., yet
continue to have a remote position for the conduction of space rocket
launches and telescope activities. Living by the mountains is excellent
for seeing conditions, telescopes and rockets but not as good for
isolated resident astronomers and rocket scientists. Invention:
Humanoido introduced his Multi Space Eye, consisting of multiple cameras
modeled after a bee's eye and a CCD photosite. The space eye is
designed as a head for telescopes, a window portal in space and a launch
pad rocket analysis tool. Anchoring: The board again looked at the
anchoring the half ton telescope using massive chain ship mooring and it
was deemed unnecessary due to the system weight which has increased. As
the system has five components, each rounded to 100-lbs, the total half
ton weight is considered permanent during the current cycle of wind and
earthquakes. Earthquakes: Following the rain component, earthquakes
were all small and insignificant in July and August. In September, they
increased to 5.
