Space1 Chinese Rocket Construction Resumes

The Chinese rocket Stanton is a beam placed in position to support the rocket suspended in the air prior to launch. The beam is seen crossing the center of this photo, and holding up the rocket in the upwards air position on the launcher. Upon launch, the rocket is released and the entire weight (rocket + payload + fuel) forces the rocket to come crashing down to the launch pad base whereupon mechanical force from gravity and depression causes ignition activation and the rocket is launched. The Stanton is mechanically activated by physically removing it from the bottom rocket support plate, a process that occurs from a remote site to maintain safety from the powerful blast.

Resurrecting a Chinese Rocket
Space1 haulted the assembly of a Chinese rocket acquired from the Science Center due to some very strange valve and catchment designs not functioning as intended. After a week of work, it was decided to give the project a rest.

Suddenly an idea was put into place. If American thinking could not resolve the Chinese designed rocket valve issues, why not add a new perspective - one of Chinese origins? Space1 invited a Chinese thinking engineer to look over the situation. In a time frame of only 30 minutes, the valve and catchment were disassembled and reassembled, and worked flawlessly! Space1 gives full credit to its Chinese origins engineer for resolving the rocket issues.

It's good Space1 did not give up the ship as it's a real learning experience. The rocket uses the most unusual launch system Space1 has ever seen. Instead of ignition at the base of the launch pad and the rocket rising upwards, the upwards mounted rocket is held high in the air by a single launch pad Stanton, then released, and gravity causes all its weight to come crashing down on the base of the launch pad where mechanical means then activate the rocket sending it skyward.

Work is now progressing on the recovery system - the timer and parachute are completed and being installed into the rocket. Completed are the four missile nukes that reside connected to the bottom of the rocket. Each missile has one fin vane protruding in an orientation 90 degrees orthogonal to the rocket body.

Chinese Rocket Less than Stellar
When visiting a Chinese science center, a dismantled rocket was discovered. Having the good fortune of purchasing the rocket with a slight discount, it was returned to the lab where assembly ensued. 

Little did we realize the magnitude of complicated compounding anomalies that would incur over the first three day assembly work period. Work was halted over multiple problems with the fuel valve. Several factors led to its imminent failure - too small of a regulation orifice, dissimilar component materials leading to fuel interface joint failures, and the lack of including a specially created Chinese installation tool. Plus, the Chinese translator abandoned the project when seeing the number of highly specialized rocket and aerospace words and related terminology spread throughout the pages of assembly notes.

Attaching an American valve would simplify things however the two dissimilar materials problem would still remain. The fuel valve interface was of a polymer type and the valve was metal. Fatigue would ensue causing failure in both cases.

Next, it became apparent the rocket had no ability to self stabilize, either through gyro or mechanics, electronics or fins. This could be remedied at two different levels but with increased substantial work and added redesign.

Not a total loss, the reentry method seemed simple enough to be incorporated in other designs with its spring tension and gears resulting in a self timing unit for the release of a nose cone and parachute.

At this time, due to the excessive hours and days spent on the Chinese rocket, and the added time required for complete assembly, all work is halted until further notice.

Space1 Meeting November 13

As promised, here's the minutes of the meeting for the Space1 on Sunday November 13th 2016 held in the country of Taiwan. Space1 has over 30 personnel employed in Taiwan during 2016. Moving to and from meetings is often accomplished by MRT transport systems, the taxi, bus, and walking. Machine intelligence (MIs) are resident on site and don't need to travel.

GIANT CHINESE RED ROCKET
The meeting went well. It was decided to look for fireworks stores at the time fireworks are sold during CNY. It's more likely the large historical red rocket will appear and it can be purchased and launched as a test vestibule. As the time period moves into the rainy season, it will be more safe to launch in regard to avoiding field fire hazards.

FIREWORKS SAFETY

It was agreed that fireworks are not safe, nor is the giant red Chinese rocket, nor does it meet safety standards of the Space1 Safety Rocket. For this reason, the rocket will not be stored for any sustained length of time.

SPACE1 WHITE ROOM
In the mean time, we are working on a new type of lab, more like a NASA white (clean) room. We have ceramic tiles fired and glazed as smooth as glass and a three step sterilization technique. It's safe to eat scrambled eggs off the floor if food were allowed in the room.

AI AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE

Space1 Industries is the worlds first organization to employ thinking machine life forms to run the business and technics. We currently employ more machine intelligence MI's than any company in the world. At the Taiwan Humanoido Space1 Laboratories, a total of 30 MI's are now on work call. This historic experiment tests the meshing of human to machine workers. Generated CV resumes for each MI is used for the basis of hiring stipulations.

RECONFIG MACHINE INTELLIGENCE (RMI)

The new invention of reconfigurable MI's (RMI) is now available. This techniques uses a cache of parts for the construction of brains in multiple varieties and characteristics that can be called into action for specific jobs and space missions. The when the job is complete, the RMI is transformed into the next required RMI. In the future, the RMI may be transformed into other devices on longer space missions.

NEW BATTERY TESTING DIVISION

This new division is in charge of all batteries used in Space1 and divides into categories of measured, new, reusable, rechargeable, and throw away.

PLURALITY OF RMI

The advantages of RMI is that tens, hundreds, even thousands can be stored and brought into creation for each specific mission, or during actual space missions. With this technique, Space1 could literal employ tens of thousands of machine workers for thousands of specific jobs.

RMI SUSPENDED ANIMATION & RECONSTITUTION

RMIs now have a technique of machine suspended animation (MSA) to "freeze" the machine body parts and then call into action when needed. MSA includes the removal of power or can supply a trickle amount of maintaining electricity. The technique is ideal for sending large quantities of RMI into long space journeys and reconstituting the parts into machines as needed.

RMI FREEZING

The technique of recently invented RMI freezing is accomplished by programming and hard wiring.

Space1 Mystery of the Gold Rocket

Legend has it that a large working gunpowder-loaded gold fireworks rocket adorned the Buddhist temple stores in historical ages past. The value of this rocket, to Space1, is priceless, as it can serve as the next generation of economical pre-built test rockets for rapid development and deployment of a suite of mission tests. Space1 is searching for the modern day version of this rocket at the gold Buddhist temple stores in the Republic of China, the type of stores that have existed for centuries of dynasty.

November 2, 2016
The search for the gold rocket begins this week. Who knows what great mysteries we will find. Our first step was to enlist a Taiwanese (local) Mandarin Chinese speaking guide, a graduated engineer, to search at the mystic locations and help solve the mystery of the giant gold rocket.

The fireworks rocket originated in China and was used for war purposes.  It's construction is of simple materials - gunpowder, paper, glue, ignition fuse, clay, and a stick. The gunpowder charge ranges in size from small ounce bottle rockets to massive several pound beasts, giving ranges from across the river line of sight to over miles high. These rockets may end with a report, explosion or pyrotechnics display to create a design in the night sky. Chinese fireworks are exported to locations all over the world. The value for Space1 is that fireworks rockets are an inexpensive way to test the atmosphere, ranging, stability, payloads, weather, timing, wind directions and changing conditions, stratus elements, G-forces, crew compartments, recovery deployment, various designs, and other rocket parameters.

From WIKI
Developed in the second-century BCE, by the ancient Chinese, fireworks are the oldest form of rockets and the most simplistic. Originally fireworks had religious purposes but were later adapted for military purposes during the Middle Ages in the form of "flaming arrows." During the tenth and thirteenth centuries the Mongols and the Arabs brought the major component of these early rockets to the West. Although the cannon and gun became the major developments from the eastern introduction of gunpowder, a tickling of rockets also resulted. These rockets were essentially enlarged fireworks which propelled, further than the long bow or cannon, packages of explosive gunpowder.

Gunpowder's relatively low specific impulse (amount of thrust per unit propellant) limits its capacity of thrust production on larger scales. Fireworks are the simplest of solid rockets and the weakest. Evolution from fireworks brought about more complex solid-fueled rockets, which use more exotic and powerful fuels. The low-explosive properties of gunpowder, relative to the high-explosive properties of more advanced solid fuels testify to the "survival of the fittest," as the use of firework-type engines (for purposes other than entertainment or education) has virtually ceased since the late nineteenth century. Yet with all these drawbacks fireworks will continue to maintain their use as a traditional pastime with an on-going history of nearly 5,000 years.
