SPACE1 Conference in Hong Kong

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.
