Spectacular Xtelescope

Skyscraper Observatory Update
Work continues on the spectacular and powerful Xtelescope designed for Skyscraper Observatory along with special Amping techniques that will amplify the diameter up to 100 times.

The telescope has run into numerous unending development challenges, the most recent solved was a rebuild, to metal machine the mounting. The first snafu was a skewed tripod in April that needed rebuilding and took about two months to complete. The mount machining took place over a one week period in the latter part of July when tools were purchased and a machine shop was quickly set up at the new location. Massive heat was another challenge approached in July. If left unchecked, the optics glue and other components could melt. Unexpected telescope OTA mass was prohibitive in assembly, plus a run-out of Skyway space necessitated new programming orientation during August.

Additional workings involve shielding from heat which required the design and construction of a telescope heat shield. That took about a week to manufacture and was completed and put into operations about 2 weeks ago near the end of July, however it will continue to have improvements and tweaking.

The system is awaiting the assembly of the most massive and heavy OTA optical tube assembly. It is unknown how this will be hoisted.

The heat shield is still in the works for the telescope, for withstanding the typical daytime temperatures around 122 deg. F in the Pacific Ocean.

Then, due to the oversized telescope, space began to quickly run out on the skyway. This will require specialized programming and compensation during use.

The observatory is now waiting for the massive and heavy OTA to hoist up high on the mounting and install the anti-vibration devices, execute leveling and calibrations, attach the additional scopes, access the operation of the star sensing AI, and develop operations for limited space function.

The first five software packages are now installed (in July) and equipment is standing by at Mission Control.

Mars is around opposition and closest approach, although besieged by a global dust storm obliterating surface features by dust for over a month. Contrast of features is extremely low and the storm is slowly settling down somewhat as some surface features are beginning to return in the dust.

HSO Humanoido Singularity Observatory

Humanoido has founded Humanoido Singularity Observatory HSO on January 1, 2018. Work on this advanced telescope observatory is progressing, often around the clock, for a completion date to coincide with the closest approach of the planet Mars to the Earth this year.

HSO has acquired one of the highest resolution telescopes available in high definition and enhanced Catadioptric form. Humanoido additionally has Amped technology in place to amplify and enhance the massive telescope upwards to 1,800-inches or 46-meters in diameter. This is the largest amped telescope in the world. The telescope is so large and so massive, Humanoido is moving all operations to much larger facilities.

Establishing the observatory and preparing the telescope is not without challenges. When the massive tripod was received, it was never quality controlled nor completely assembled and tested, and thus it required a complete rebuild, an effort by three people that took one month to complete. The tripod is so massive, it resembles a half ton machine gun mount for the military, and will certainly be a vital asset for one of the most stable telescopes.

The observatory is conducting Mars Connect, the advanced platform to connect the Earth with Mars to support the destiny of Earthlings becoming a multi-planetary species. Mars Connect is with many missions, for cartography, weather forecasting, mapping water and sublimation, executing advanced regression, and the insertion of a planetary spacecraft in orbit around Mars.

The massive telescope is now at the mounting phase of assembly, calibration and testing.  A series of email dispatches have chronologically documented the HSO and telescope evolution. The organization Mars Connect is a division of Humanoido Singularity Observatory and Space1.
