Space1 Super Rocket Fairing

SPACE1 Industries Super Rocket Fairing
The fairing acts like a nosecone for the rocket, and shields the cargo, avatars, and contents.

The historic recoverable rocket payload fairing has numerous functions - designed to protect the Avatar, and additional major contents such as the Rocket Space Telescope, the cherry red sportster payload test, and a host of other items launched into space.

When the rocket returns to the Earth, the strength of the fairing absorbs impact and helps protect delicate containments, especially on designed streamer flights where reentry comes in hot. The fairing is either attached to the rocket, nose cone, and/or additionally tethered, along with reentry devices. SPACE1 is using one large fairing for Super Rocket, that will decouple and jettison out from the rocket first stage at the apex of Tropospheric space, though will remain attached by a lengthy tether. Upon landing, the fairing is designed to spring flex an amount to absorb the impactual forces. The fairing is manufactured from recyclables and the cost is primarily for labor and constructive techniques.

Space1 Linear Fairing Extension

SPACE1 has developed the Linear Fairing Extension for the PIONEER HEAVY rocket, thus extending the size, volume, and crew capacity of the rocket. The Fairing attaches to the existing rocket body through welding and locates between the NC and the fuel tank. With added levels of flooring it may be possible to extend flights from several astronauts to fifty.

Space1 USS Pioneer Heavy Rocket Fairing

Illustration design version most resembles the current USS Pioneer Heavy Rocket by Space1
Space1 has created the USS Pioneer Heavy Rocket Fairing. This NC device is a protective aerodynamic shroud that protects payload and houses the recovery parachute at the uppermost part of the rocket. The NC Fairing, often referred to as the BMF Big Machined Fairing, is made from the same material as the rocket body and is ejected from the rocket main body at a specific time just prior to reentry. The NC device is multi-purposed and can have containments such as payload.
