United Space Technologies Moon Surface Cameras

United Space Technologies has developed a battery of small portable moveable Moon Surface Cameras for the next lunar mission. These cameras will probe the lunar surface and gather vital details regarding the whereabouts of the mission and future lunar scape planners. The cameras will become instrumental in keeping tabs on the Moon Habitat for lunar astronauts and supplement any lunar excursions, before, during and after the events. The Moon Camera can autonomously feed thousands of images back to the source for analysis.

The First Moon Power Wrist Radio
SPACE1 has created a wireless Moon Wrist Radio, worn like a high technology watch, using a leftover mix of matching modules.

Invented by Humanoido, the wrist radio is designed to be worn by a Moon astronaut to support a manned Lunar Landing Mission. The device can historically record the spaceflight to the Moon and show live images and live video by direct telemetry transmission.

The communications wrist device has components to include a built-in tuned frequency pipe antenna, portable power source with charger, wireless radio receiver, high resolution color display TV screen, and controls. Supporting devices to include a micro-miniature Moon Camera, wide angle lens, wireless radio transmitter, DVR camcorder, multi signal channels, right hand circularly polarized antenna, power source, power setting circuits, charging system, cabling, and controls.

The Moon Wrist Radio is worn like a watch by the astronaut. A separate micro-miniature camera part of the system records live images of the Moon as the mission proceeds. The live feed video and any audio is recorded to to a tiny micro SD card and motion video is simultaneously transmitted to the wrist device. The system has many functions. 1) Monitor the rugged lunar surface  2) Display updated parametric spacecraft info  3) Keep eyes on any target  4) Record various sub missions  5) Record the flight to the Moon  6) Safely watch apparitions within the vacuum of space 7) Check the condition of space vehicles 8) Rapidly aim & shoot space phenomena 9) Serve as a remote eye & ear for a space cyborg 10) Convenient eyes on a space pod and 11) A relay for a TV/audio signal.

Moon Landing Update

Moon by Humanoido
Moon Landing is Updated
When will we see Boots on the Moon?

Work and excitement is rapidly progressing at SPACE1 towards the high technology Manned Moon Landing Mission. The mission is dependent on several other mission completions and these have some requirements to be met. SPACE1 is scheduled to host the first manned return mission in 2019 to the Moon since Harrison Schmitt and Gene Cernan left the surface of the Moon 47 years ago. In this endeavor, SPACE1 appears to be at the top of the group for a scheduled first to reach the Moon ahead of NASA and ahead of private industry SpaceX, Boeing, Blue origin, and Lockheed Martin. SPACE1 has worked six years on the project and excited followers of the private space industry are looking forward to seeing results in their lifetime!

Parts Aquisition
Apparently the parts supplier put parts on backorder, after specifying parts were available, and while the lunar missions can be accomplished without the parts, it would be much better to include the new constructed modules and components. This is now a priority.

Camera Lunar Landing Imaging
While several Moon cameras are now available at SPACE1 Labs, work needs to begin on the primary mission camera. All the components are available for the primary mission camera. As a backup insurance policy, purchasing will go out this week to review new off the shelf cameras ready to be installed onto the spacecraft so as not to miss the timeline.

— We cast our line of technology into the ocean of space, catching the greatest wonders in the Universe — Humanoido

Prerequisite Lunar Missions
It's still very important to initiate and complete the lunar missions prior to the Moon landing. The includes the A) Commemorative Mission, B) Polar Orbiter Mission, C) Far Side Mission, and finally D) Lunar Landing. The one mission in question is the Far Side Mission because it requires a more specialized launch window to become available. It's possible the Lunar Polar Orbiter Mission will be pushed to the number one position and happen first because the parameter calculations are now simplified and ready to go.

Astronaut & Spacesuit
Astronaut Humanoido is prepared and trained for the mission, and will continue to prepare with instrumentation and setup plus rehearsals up to the launch date. Last minute ideas and flight conveniences are being incorporated into the Lunar Landing Mission spacesuit, primarily work with the helmet complexity.

Space Helmet design
Humanoido has designed a system to simultaneous compliment the lunar landing mission through a special space helmet that allows it to generate wireless transmission telemetry and automatically record the entire mission as it unfolds. When an astronaut looks in a direction, the flight telemetry will record that direction. This will happen with new electronic digital media lasting the entire duration of the Moon landing mission. If all goes according to plan, the mission will play back on computers equipped with playback devices at Mission Control and therefore snippets of the best part of the mission will concatenate and post to news sources.

Singularity Observatory Participation
Singularity Observatory is taking part in the pre-mission by telescopic lunar surveys and mapping the lunar topology in search of a suitable landing site. This is based on lunar regolith temperature, popularity of the site, accessibility, the shape and type of lunar terrain, and the analysis of landing parameters. Two or more telescopes will be used for the surveys and the results will be combined.

Singularity Observatory Live Astro Photo

Singularity Observatory
Capture a Live Astro Photo

by Humanoido

It's alive!!! Apple has introduced several new iPhone cameras and software that changes everything when it comes to taking a photo and doing astronomical imaging! It's called Live Photos and the reality of this new kind of photo is it holds enough photos to make a 1.5 second video and has many other useful tricks.

This is a spectacular boon for astro imaging the Moon and planets as a single best shot can be chosen or several best shots extracted and summed into one more perfect image. It's one way of shooting through those pesky sky conditions when the blurring atmospheric seeing conditions clear for only a fraction of a second. Doing Astro Live Photo imaging changes the game for the better, making imaging through your telescope far more easy. It can sidestep the other lengthy procedures of image processing.

What is Live Photos?
Live Photos is an iPhone camera feature that brings your photos to life by creating a moving image. Instead of freezing a moment in time, you can now capture a Live Photo with movement and sound. iPhone Live Photos can be converted into stunning long exposure images. A Live Photo captures 1.5 seconds of video and audio both before and after you press the shutter button to take a photo. As well as a high quality still JPEG image, you also get a 3 second Live Photo with sound. When you play a Live Photo, you don’t see the still image that you took when you pressed the shutter button. Instead, you’ll see a 3 second moving image. When you shoot a Live Photo, the iPhone also captures a still image. This lets you relive those moments before and after you took the photo.

Phones and OS Working with Live Photo
You can only shoot a Live Photo with the iPhone 6s/6s Plus or newer. But you can share them to older iPhones or an iPad as long as that device is running iOS 9 or later. The Live Photo feature is available on the following iPhones:

iPhone 6S and iPhone 6S Plus
iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus
iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X
iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR

How it Works
How does the iPhone know to record video for the 1.5 seconds before you press the shutter button? With Live Photos enabled, the built-in camera app starts recording video as soon as you open the app. So when you press the shutter button, your iPhone has already captured the 1.5 seconds before the shot. It saves this footage along with the 1.5 seconds following the image capture. Your iPhone discards all other video footage captured before and after those 1.5 seconds. So you don’t need to worry that the constant video recording will fill up your iPhone’s storage.

How To Switch On Live Photo
Start by opening the built-in camera app, and set the shooting mode to Photo. You can’t shoot Live Photos in any of the other shooting modes. The Live Photos setting is the round icon shown on the top of the screenshot below. If the icon is yellow, Live Photos is on. If the icon is white, tap it once to turn on Live Photos.
Live Photos is on by default, but you can switch it off at any time by tapping the yellow Live Photos icon. When you switch on Live Photos, the word “Live” appears in a yellow box as shown. This will disappear after a couple of seconds.

Video Starting
Remember that the 1.5 seconds of video starts before you press the shutter button. So make sure you compose your shot and hold it there for a couple of seconds before you press the shutter. If you don’t do this, the first part of your Live Photo will be of you moving the camera to frame the shot. Likewise, your iPhone will record video for 1.5 seconds after you’ve pressed the shutter. So make sure you keep your phone still for a couple of seconds after taking the shot.

Live Photo Audio
Live Photos capture audio as well as video. So you’ll hear any sound in your Live Photo when you play it back.

Turn Off Live Photo
When you no longer want to shoot Live Photos, switch off the Live Photos feature so that the icon turns white.

How to View on an Older iPhone Model
View Live Photos on an older iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that can run iOS 9 or later. Find the Live Photo you want to view. Touch and hold the photo to animate it.

How to view Live Photos on a newer iPhone model
View a Live Photo on Apple's current-generation iPhone models, see list. Launch the Photos app from your Home screen. Find the Live Photo you want to view. Press firmly on the photo to animate it. It will blur for just a second and then start to play.

Storage
Live Photos take up a lot of storage space on your iPhone. So if you leave it on for every shot you may find that your phone becomes full.

Processing
Processing your live images is easy with Apple's free Photo, a program on iMac computers and an app on iPhones. You can edit Live Photos in the Photos app in a similar way to editing still images. For Live Photos there are some extra editing tools. When you open a Live Photo, tap Edit at the top right of the screen. The editing tools will appear. Crop and rotate, apply a filter, or make lighting and color adjustments. The wand icon is an autocorrect option for enhancing exposure and color with a single tap.

Change the Key Photo
You can change the key photo (the one you see in your photo library) using the slider at the bottom of the screen. Move the slider until you find the image you want. Tap Make Key Photo to confirm your choice: A white dot will appear over your chosen photo. A grey dot appears over the original key photo in case you ever want to go back to it. When you’ve finished editing your Live Photo, tap Done to save the changes. If you want to remove the editing you applied, you can revert back to the original Live Photo at any time. In the Photos app, find the Live Photo you want to revert, tap Edit, then tap Revert. On the message that appears, tap Revert to Original. Another option under the Edit facility is to switch from a Live Photo to a still image (without making any edits). When you’re viewing a Live Photo, tap Edit, then tap the yellow Live Photos icon to convert it to a still image. The icon will turn white to show that it’s no longer a Live Photo. Tap Done to confirm.

Special Effects
Since iOS 11, you can apply three special effects to your Live Photos: Loop, Bounce and Long Exposure.

Long Exposure
The Long Exposure option creates a photo with a slow shutter effect. It overlays all the video frames from your Live Photo to create a single image. Long exposure with scenes that include movement will blur the motion. With a telescope, make sure tracking in on and the image is ultimately stable. This ensures that the stationary parts of the scene remain sharp in the final image. Long exposures should lessen image noise.

Turn a Live Photo into a GIF
There's no longer the need for a GIF creator app. You can do it all right in the Photos app! Launch the Photos app from your Home screen. Find and tap the Live Photo you'd like to turn into a GIF. Swipe up on the center of the screen to reveal the animation options. Tap Loop if you'd like to loop the Live Photo as a GIF.

How to Extract a Still Shot from a Live Photo
If you want the still photo only, you can make a copy. Open the Photos app. Select the Live Photo you want to extract a still shot from. Tap the Share icon in the bottom left corner of the screen. Tap Duplicate in the option tray at the bottom of the screen. Tap Duplicate as Still Photo. A copy of the still photo will appear in your library right next to the original Live Photo. You can delete the Live Photo if you no longer want it to take up storage on your iPhone.

Singlularity Observatory Telescope Gone Wild







The bottom left photo shows an image of M27 taken through the normal telescope at a normal focal ratio. The top image shows the exact same object but with the enhancements of amping, dialectrics, and the incredible fast add-on lensing combination of f1.75. The new image shows spectacular differences in color, contrast, image scale, nebulosity, and deep stellar magnitude penetration, all improved to a fantastic level, making the 1,325-inch telescope in a new league of its own. This telescope has Chameleon type qualities, able to reconfigure from one type of telescope into another and another. There is the wild possibility that nearly every new image taken with this spectacular telescope will become a new discovery image. Note: unless you're looking at this large image comparison on a big screen computer, the full effect may not be visible on small mobile devices.

Telescope Gone Wild
Humanoido, Director of Singularity Observatory and the Astrophysics Lab at United Humanoido Laboratories, has incredibly taken the 1,325-inch diameter Amped Dialectric telescope and changed its design into a new one with the ultimate focal ratio of an incredibly fast f/1.75 system.

The redesign was possible using a doubling of multi optic sets and the raw coupling plates from Charge Coupled Devices. At f1.75, this extreme fast lensing and reflective telescope acts like a fast ultra large massive Schmidt Camera, and shows a mind boggling amount of celestial objects and detail like never before.

The technique is derived in part by using specific combinations of optics calculated mathematically to provide the significant change in EFL. Lenses and optical set arrays from at least four optical companies provide the part combinations necessary to drive the 1325. A fifth company provided the optical charge coupling plates. Company suppliers are located in the United States, Germany, Canada, and China. Some of these lenses have special precision dialectrics to improve performance.

Space1 2019 Space Security Division

Space Security Division - Commando Units
SPACE1 Industries takes security very seriously and has increased security in 2019 to a new all time high on red alert. After a recent threat and attempt at theft of intellectual property as joint reported by Attorney AH and Chief of the Board, SPACE1 has increased its Space Security Division multiple fold.

Security is the tightest, as new hired full salaried specialist commandos guard the premises 24/7 and no one can enter the compound without direct voice to voice authorization from either the Founder/Director or the President. Those with permission to enter the main compound will also undergo facial recognition by Commando Central and will be required to pass all check points.

Security equipment includes half foot thick solid steel doors at the premises with no windows and 6 to ten deadbolts on each blast rated door. Each door is mechanically pass protected with multiple alarms. The request for authorization to enter sounds an alarm and anytime the door is opened an alarm is sounded.

The building is further pass protected with massive ten foot high steel and iron doors, additionally equipped with motion detectors and electronic digital keyed computer controlled panels. Protection is additionally multi fold with facial recognition, fingerprints, electronic keys, motion detection, video surveillance cameras, guard recognition and query, and mechanical barrel bores to name a few. All actions are recorded and monitored on live security video feed systems.

Elevators are now security password protected and will remain dead without the correct authorization security passwords. For a person to enter, there are multiple authorization check points, each with an alarm. All checkpoints, hallways, doors, interiors, exteriors, commando central, elevators, etc. are equipped with identification security cameras, monitored and recorded 24/7.

The new Space Security Division Commando Units now voraciously screen incoming threats to its online systems. The super computing center is guarded by monitoring all data, inclusive of all email and e-communications with personnel both inside and outside of SPACE1. New law voted into effect now prohibits the rehiring of an individual who was previously fired or quit. Anyone violating the Protection Naming Act of Handle Use will be immediately expelled. Additional laws amend the 2014 Charter.

Space1 CyberSpace Program

CyberSpace Program
Years ago, in the 80s and 90s, a streamlined Remote Robotic Cyberspace Telescope was developed that gave people across the world an opportunity to log on, select a deep sky object from a Messier and selected objects list, select a CCD camera, automatically move the telescope to the object, and take a picture.

Humanoido's widely popular robotic telescope was used by professionals, schools and various universities, amateur astronomers and interested individuals to explore space. It also held a wealth of information, multiple databases, and color sky maps for all 101 Messier objects. It was ahead of its time, as it held a droid capable of helping you set up the telescope, change eyepieces, time exposures, and do other telescope keeping duties.

Fast forward 38 years into the future. Things have greatly changed in the world, and Humanoido is still ahead of time, now conducting SPACE1, a private industry space program for taking citizens into space for tourism. He is now pondering a CyberSpace Rocket Program, where potentially space enthusiasts could log on the cyber-birthed space program, select a rocket and mission, and prepare to go into space.

How far reaching the CyberSpace Program becomes is the billion dollar question. Will it catch on to include general space tourism, or open the door follow a path to the Earth's Moon? Will it take you to other planets like Mars and their moons for colonization or simply provide visiting and mining rights to comets and asteroids?

Could the new space program take space traveling Denizins to other star systems on the other side of the galaxy? Can the Cyber Space Program develop and explore new methods of stellar propulsion to the stars? Can other technology combine, such as the Elevation Machine?

What can Cyber Space do for Space1? Stay tuned as this new raw frontier unfolds new potential vistas heretofore unconsidered in the ever expanding realm of SPACE1.
