Space1 Rocket Drop Tests

 
Space1 conducts powerless free-fall drop tests from various skyscrapers in large cities. Drop tests may include powerless rockets, models for space stations, payloads, parachutes, satellites, space capsules, quads, planes, gliders and various tests.

As new taller buildings appear year after year, the height of drop tests continue to increase. Some heights are higher than the altitudes achieved by model rockets! Base altitude of model rockets average about 300-feet. The peak height of Taipei 101 is 5.6 times higher, and the Burj Khalifa is 9 times higher.

Instead of scheduling expensive and custom aircraft that depressurize and open for drop tests, or have customized external remote controlled mountings, planes which fly to several thousand feet, a costly approach, the skyscraper window origin tests are often free of charge.

When tests began by the author in 2005, the maximum height was at Taipei 101 in Taiwan at an altitude of 1,667-feet. By 2010, this distance had increased to 2,717-feet at the Burj Khalifa in Dubai.

Lower and less famous skyscrapers are more easy to access at the peak roof for drop tests. These skyscrapers often have floor halls with windows that open. One can merely take the elevator to the desired floor level. However, some skyscrapers require a security card pass to gain specific floor access to operate the elevator while others do not.

Thus far, the author has concentrated the study of skyscrapers and drop tests in Western and Eastern world sites, in the USA and Asia (in countries Macao, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, and China), primarily Seoul, Shenzhen, New York, Beijing, Hong Kong, Macao, Shanghai, and Taipei.

Space1 Electronic Motor

The Humanoido Rocket EMotor prototype 
invention was transferred to Space1's 
Taiwan rocket lab

This fascinating electronic EMotor is now ready for rocket development. The futuristic motor can be repackaged to serve conventional or rocket technology.

History
Years ago, the founder of Space1 invented an electronic motor in his American scientific laboratory. A single prototype was manufactured and tested over decades. This prototype was placed in check through luggage, passed TSA airport security and is now at the main rocket lab in Taiwan for analysis of new space applications.

Planning
Space1 is interested in constructing a new schematic diagram, buying parts from the Electronics Part Plaza, and assembling a dozen of the motors for various new applications.

Detail
Some of these new engines may be offered up for sale. They could be offered assembled or in kit form. Assembled units can have specific engine tuning for specific apps. The motor uses basic electronics parts, a PCB, CMOS integrated circuit technology, rheostat tuning, discrete components and is extremely reliable. The motor is battery operated for remote functions and control.

Testing
In harsh tests, the prototype motor survived freezing temperatures down to -40 degrees F. and box heat approaching +120 deg. F. and continued to work. It was also subjected to high levels of humidity and water, vibration, rough handling, and ten-foot drop force tests, again surviving. It passed all corrosive tests over the years and continued to function as designed after being in outdoor conditions for a decade.

Applications
Applications looked at in 2016 and for 2017 include a marketable product, rocket motor, a micro-miniature version, single and multi board motor arrays, parallel phasing, automotive version, various sim apps, harmonics testing, timing applications, and specific devices requiring EMotor technology.

Space1 Rocket Size

Space1 - the future of space travel is here! As we move forward to launching our first man into space, thus kickstarting space tourism and opening the door to space travel in a new way, we examine the ramifications of the size of rocket launch vehicles. Are larger rockets dangerous? What are the costs? What are the advantages and disadvantages? Is bigger always better?

Does Size Matter? Bigger is not always better. Indeed the news not only for India but the rest of the world is a patterned trend for larger vehicles with more lifting capacity. At the surface of a money hunger grabbing game, more lift capacity generally indicates more money when taking more weight into space.

However "more" is dangerous, and requires more dangerous fuel, is more costly, takes more manpower to develop and handle, takes more years to design, needs more money in the millions and billions of dollars, needs a huge number of risky tests, and a long construction time plus danger with infinite risk factor. With more, more people will die.

Space1 does not follow this trend. We are not money hungry, money grabbing mongers. Simple, and less, is better. It's safe, costs significantly less, uses less manpower, development time is less, construction takes less time, systems can be more simple and more reliable, and people will not die.

As we move forward in 2016, after two full years of operations (Space1 was founded in January 2014), we are about to realize the biggest dream in mankind's history, and take our first space tourist into space using a paradigm of all new technology. Plus, we are the only space program in the world with the Safety Rocket.
