The initial payload for the launch vehicle should be a tiny radio which says: "People of earth, we mean no harm to your planet" , Don't try to do anything with NASA, congress is too screwed up to give NASA good direction. Don't try and sell anything to Newspace companies, they don't have any money, and they think they can do everything themselves.<br />SteveStevo Harringtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01389076113693006596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36913768.post-62818288139430249092011-11-21T19:13:55.942-08:002011-11-21T19:13:55.942-08:00I vote for the valves.

Make sure they know that price is a key consideration for you.<br /><br />...Actually, what would be really cool would be expanding your 3D printed rocket engines so you could sell them to those who would need them... A cheap, scale-able cold gas thruster ACS/RCS system (perhaps using printed parts) could also be broadly marketed, especially if small enough for nano- or micro-sats.

Start with a simple hovering system leveraging what you know and have learned from LLC then start flying higher and/or multiple times per day. Remember, Armadillo and Blue Orgin have successfully hovered but have had teething pains trying to fly higher, so expect that. Turbopumps & fancier printed motor should only come if shown to be needed. You have the basic tools to fly, so do it, cuz you will learn some things as you fly higher and higher with greater frequency. I would even start with metal tank(s) and transition to your slick mass ratio composite tank when there is a need or when it is matured. I think it's a distraction from flying at this point.Carl Tedescohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06410117998639382093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36913768.post-50845460876119349312011-11-16T16:59:46.768-08:002011-11-16T16:59:46.768-08:00I think the Armadillo model always assumed the ...I think the Armadillo model always assumed the 'vesting' of the faithful against the day of incorporation, based on Carmack being his own 'angel investor'.

Using the main CPU for offline processing instead of a dedicated DSP would probably half the cost of adding a GPS to our device. So open-source GPS processing code would be very interesting to us. Consider this a vote for that project! ;-)C.

A lot of similar ones as well! Got my Third Class medical back today, have an RC helicopter in the attic and several planes and small helicopters. I list of Arduino projects I need to build and test, a rocket project in the shed, a lot of programming projects to do, plus all the normal house repairs and keeping enough time to spend with the family!<br /><br />Definitely don't give up on getting that medical back too easily. One thing to always consider is that if you never had a medical denied, you're still wide open for a Light Sport pilot certificate, your drivers license will server as your medical certificate. If you did get it denied, I'm assuming with your weight loss and health gains you're seeing improvement in those areas and it might be easier than you think. There was some information on it here: http://goo.gl/ZsA2P and via special issuance many diagnosed people still received their medical. If you haven't yet been denied a medical, work closely with your AME to try to ensure that you don't get denied, since then at least you could still fly Light Sport.Dan Dawsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525694507337403976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36913768.post-70861947463216236802011-11-14T14:30:07.289-08:002011-11-14T14:30:07.289-08:00ALASA is a new one I'll have to do some resear...ALASA is a new one I'll have to do some research.<br />Reality there is no real market for a nanosat launcher. I think the business case does not close until you get above 100lbs, so its the right size. A nano sat launcher is really a training wheels program, with aims at a larger launcher.Paul Breedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11024641086551653462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36913768.post-6031755259360887552011-11-14T14:27:34.648-08:002011-11-14T14:27:34.648-08:00Curiosity question for you Paul.

Obviously it wouldn't impact winning the prize, since I'm pretty sure the prize has some sort of private funding clause like the X-Prize and the NGLLC did. However, if DARPA is funding one or two teams to build a 100lb to LEO for $1M vehicle, is that going to dry up or severely limit the market for say a 20lb to orbit vehicle?<br /><br />~JonJon Goffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10960488857253480586noreply@blogger.com
