Back to the Moon, back to the future, and this time, back to stay

I read, why go back to the Moon, been there done that!

I don't think so, --- we went to the Moon to prove we could put humans on the Moon and bring them back safely.

This was sort of a game of one up manship.
Russia had sent a satellite around the Moon and taken pictures of the far side before the USA.
They had landed a spacecraft on the Moon before the USA.

Now --- having landed a few times on the Moon and spending a few days there is an accomplishment, but it is not the establishment of a new frontier where humans will learn how to live off world and develop the resources of space.

Having played king of the hill a few times we turned to learning how to fly a shuttle and go around Earth at LEO for a number of years.

The space station was going to be a test bed for living in space, learning the effects of the lower pull of gravity that might be found on the Moon or Mars and see if it would be detrimental to humans. A centrifuge would be installed and the space station could be used to build space transport vehicles.

Not everything has gone as originally planed. No centrifuge launched, but the mock up made for great public relation tours at Ames. Not all the habitat racks made it to the space station and the space station itself has taken longer to build than expected. We have gone around Earth a goodly number of times and have had some great views looking in towards Earth. How about looking out to the stars?

For a time the idea of living off world and going back to the Moon was not in the everyday vocabulary. Going around and around Earth in LEO with International partners helped public relations but an overall plan to develop space with human occupation seemed out of reach.
President George H. W. Bush in 1989 proposed going back to the Moon to stay. It didn't happen, but folks were talking again.

In 1961 it took a crisis -- the space race -- to speed things up. Today we don't have a crisis; we have an opportunity. To seize this opportunity, I'm not proposing a 10-year plan like Apollo; I'm
proposing a long-range, continuing commitment. First, for the coming decade, for the 1990's: Space Station Freedom, our critical next step in all our space endeavors. And next, for the new century: Back to the Moon; back to the future. And this time, back to stay. And then a journey into tomorrow, a journey to another planet: a manned mission to Mars.
snip
-------------------------------------------

It was deemed to be too expensive. The need for humans to learn how to live off world not a priority. More important things happening down here on Earth. Maybe too much money being spent on black ops.

There was a 10 week summer study in 1984 sponsored by NASA and later in 1992 NASA SP-509 'SPACE RESOURCES' was put together. There is a lot of information in this boxed set, even if the time lines have shifted.

It looked like maybe the ideas in NASA SP-509 might be put to the test with the new push to go back to the Moon was announced by George W. Bush.
http://www.nasa.gov/missions/solarsystem/bush_vision.html

Once again it looks like time lines will need to be slid, extended, and blurred until we see the necessity and advantage to putting humans permanently off world. We still have all of our eggs in one basket and subject to surprises from space or exhausting of limited resources.

As we adjust to what can be done for now, it still should be beneficial to look at the material that is discussed in NASA SP-509.

I will see what I can find to share as I look through the the books I have. You can look along with me as the books are on-line as well.

NASA SP-509
SPACE RESOURCES
OVERVIEW
Preface
p. vi

[Our report does not represent any Government-authorized view or official NASA policy. NASA's official response to these challenging opportunities must be found in the reports of its Office of Exploration, which was established in 1987. That office's report, released in November 1989, of a 90-day study of possible plans for human exploration of the Moon and Mars is NASA's response to the new initiative proposed by President Bush on July 20, 1989, the 20th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing on the Moon: "First, for the coming decade, for the 1990s, Space Station Freedom, our critical next step in all our space endeavors. And next, for the new century, back to the Moon, back to the future, and this time, back to stay. And then a journey into tomorrow, a journey to another planet, a manned mission to Mars." This report, Space Resources, offers substantiation for NASA's bid to carry out that new initiative.]

--------------------------------------

It doesn't have to represent an authorized Government view and it doesn't need to be an official NASA policy for you to be interested in helping this journey into tomorrow. Wouldn't it be exciting to learn how to live on another planet?

A lot of preliminary work needs to be done. We have been fortunate to have rovers on Mars and rovers on the Moon could help as well, especially if they were being used to scout resources for a lunar base.

We have heard that oxygen can be extracted from the lunar rocks. It would be nice to see it happen for real. We have been told there are a number of other gases that can be captured from the regolith as well. We need to know how to do this without losing these resources to the vacuum of space while crunching around on the surface and doing mining activities. Can this be done with machines operated from Earth by remote control or will humans be required? It shouldn't take a heavy lift rocket to get some interesting projects to the Moon. Lunar Prospector went to the Moon using an Athena II.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athena_%28rocket%29

Going past the Moon is not so hard to do. Pioneer 10 back in March 2, 1972 weighing in with a light 260 KG, using an Atlas/Centaur/TE364-4 combination, past the distance to the Moon in just 11 hours and past the Mars orbit, about 80 million kilometers (50 million miles) away, in just 12 weeks.

So will space be the final frontier for profit?

Maybe if there is a profit to be made there will also be a need for humans to teak the machines.
There will be a need to supply the machines and outfit the humans.

I thought we were going to go to the Moon and soon we would see this view as shown on inside of the NASA SP-509 boxed set of books compiled from the NASA Space Institute 1992 Summer Study. Some number of years back the books were scanned and made available on-line. I thought we would be reporting on the results of the ideas discussed and see them unfold in real time.

SPACE RESOURCES, Edited by Mary Fae McKay, David S. McKay and Michael B. Duke, 1992, 942p., in an Overview Plus Four Technical Volumes, NASA SP-509, Soft Cover $130.00
This volume is a must for those wanting a background on, and help in understanding, how Space Resources must be used to support life in space, including on the Moon and in exploring Mars. It emphasizes the concept that space travelers must apply their high technology tools in using local resources away from the Earth.

The concept for this report was developed at a NASA-sponsored summer study held at the Scripps Campus at U.C. San Diego, 1984, under the auspices of the American Society for Engineering Education; and was jointly managed by the California Space Institute and NASA Johnson Space Center under the direction of the Office of Aeronautics and Space Technology (OAST) at NASA Headquarters. Many individuals, who are experts in the various disciplines of space sciences/astronautics participated in this study and contributed their expertise in preparing this written report which incorporates the latest research concepts current just before the date of publication of the report.

This Space Resources report is divided into a brief overview and four detailed technical volumes:
Vol. 1, Scenarios;
Vol. 2, Energy, Power and Transport;
Vol. 3, Materials;
Vol. 4, Social Concerns.

The volumes cover how space resources can be used in the development of future space activities, and define the necessary research and development that must precede the practical utilization of these resources. Space resources considered include lunar soil, oxygen derived from lunar soil, material retrieved from near-Earth asteroids, abundant sunlight, low gravity, and high vacuum. The direct use of these resources, the potential demand for products from them, the techniques for retrieving and processing space resources, the necessary infrastructure, and the economic tradeoffs are analyzed. The central conclusion is that near-Earth resources can indeed foster the growth of human activities in space.

Numerous Illustrations included.

============================================

Hydrogen solid storage - Are we going to hear more about this?

Hydrogen and Oxygen, burned to make a lot of hot steam to provide thrust for a rocket - to where? Well, that is a question yet to be answered.

Getting back to a more down to Earth use of Hydrogen, we hear about using Hydrogen to fuel cars. It is hard to compress and store hydrogen and finding ways to make it easier for the everyday person to use Hydrogen in a fuel cell would be good. Hydrogen solid storage - Are we going to hear more about this?

Google started a new service, "BUZZ" and I was looking at some posts by folks on my Gmail List.
I noticed a comment about a video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com - where it talks about a way to make Hydrogen in your home and store it in a solid form that can be used to free up Hydrogen to use in a fuel cell that in turn can produce electricity to run a motor.
http://www.cnn.com/video/?/video/tech/2010/02/07/lustout.hk.hydrogen.car.cnn

If you watch the video you will see the products from the company, Horizon, and a demo of using stored Hydrogen in a small radio controlled car.

Here are a link to information about the 'HYDROSTIK' refillable solid-state hydrogen cartridges, the 'HYDROFILL' home hydrogen refueling unit for the HydroSTIK, and a MiniPAK "Personal Power Center", that can be used to recharge our many electronic gadgets.

----------------------------------------------------------------

http://www.horizonfuelcell.com/electronics.htm

HYDROSTIK - The fuel cartridge used in the MiniPak called HydroSTIK has a battery-like form factor and contains a special metal alloy that allows hydrogen to be stored in a solid-state, as part of the metal alloy matrix inside the cartridge. In contrast with ordinary compressed hydrogen tanks, the pressure inside the canister is very low, making this device the safest and most practical means of storing hydrogen. The HydroSTIK has the additional advantages of being refillable (from pressurized gas bottles, or from water-electrolysis based devices), non-toxic, eco-friendly, and competitive on cost/performance with existing battery devices. Each HydroSTIK can store 15Wh of energy, enough for 2 to 3 charges of a 3G smartphone, or 4-6 charges for average cellphones, which is more than what present primary and rechargeable batteries are able to offer at equivalent cost.

HYDROFILL - The HydroFILL is a "world-first" small-scale home hydrogen station that allows consumers or retailers/distributors to refill solid state canisters in a simple way, using water and electricity as only input. By adding water, and plugging the HydroFILL into a electrical wall-socket (or a solar panel), consumers can generate hydrogen and store it in a solid form automatically in HydroSTIK cartrridges. Once full, the battery-like "solid-state"HydroSTIKs can be unplugged from the HydroFILL and placed into the MiniPak (or other fuel cell devices) to deliver power via a USB port.

----------------------------------------------------------------

And this is about a company in the USA that has a number of 'Green' products including storing Hydrogen in a solid form.

Hydrogen Hybrid Vehicle Powered With Ovonic® Solid State Hydrogen Storage
A practical first step on the road to a hydrogen-fueled future Rochester Hills, Mich., September 21, 2005

There is no doubt that hydrogen is one of the most promising fuels of the future. The only remaining questions are how and when America’s transportation fleet will make the leap to this clean, renewable energy carrier. Energy Conversion Devices, Inc. (ECD Ovonics) (NASDAQ: ENER) is convinced that the when is soon and the how is by means of a methodical transition from today’s fossil-fueled vehicles to cars and trucks engineered for hydrogen propulsion. To take a long stride forward on this path, ECD Ovonics and its partners successfully completed a demonstration project to modify a commercial gasoline/electric hybrid vehicle to run on hydrogen utilizing a new low-pressure, metal hydride hydrogen storage system developed and manufactured by Ovonic Hydrogen Systems, LLC.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Some more information just to make sure the word gets out that there are ways to store Hydrogen that may prove to be useful to the general public.

----------------------------------------------------------------
http://ovonics.com/ib_hy_hydrogen_portablecanisters.cfm

Ovonic Hydrogen Systems is proud to be the first manufacturer of metal hydride storage systems authorized by the US Department of Transportation (DOT) to offer a family of portable canisters that can be transported with hydrogen. This authorization allows ready-to-use charged canisters to be shipped to and transported by you and your customers. A copy of our DOT special permit must accompany shipment of the canisters.

----------------------------------------------------------------

This next link contains information from 2005 and before. It takes time for new technologies to make it to market and of course there needs to be a market. Electric cars have been around since the beginning of car history but they have not made it to the mass market. Now we have been seeing the high price of oil and gasoline so the Hybrid car is gaining acceptance. There is more talk about using Hydrogen as a fuel but handling Hydrogen presents problems, if not real, at least in the public eye. You have watched the shuttle launches with fueling of LOX and un-filling when something isn't just right. Even if using gaseous Hydrogen there is the problem of storing enough in a car's tanking system to have a suitable range. Storing Hydrogen in a solid state looks interesting. Will we hear more about it?

Ovonic H2 Prius Showcases Solid Hydrogen Storage Technology

As the “hydrogen highway” vision takes form through incremental technology advancements and demonstrations on many levels, much of the glory is captured by hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. It’s true that they’re marvels of technology and are deserving of this attention. As shared in Green Car Journal’s Summer 2005 issue (“Hydrogen/Where We Are on the Drive to the Future”), automakers have come a long way and these vehicles are so good, they make it seem effortless to drive on this most environmentally positive fuel. But that’s far from the case.

snip
Stanford Ovshinsky
This story begins and ends with Stanford Ovshinsky, an inventor of rarified stature who, many decades ago, made discoveries involving amorphous and disordered materials that created a whole new area of materials science. He was recognized with a Time Magazine “Heroes of the Planet Award” because of this work and how it led to many breakthrough applications, including his patented nickel-metal-hydride batteries (he and the company he founded, Rochester Hills, Michigan-based Energy Conversion Devices, hold the patents). As it turns out, this work has also led to the ability to store hydrogen in solid form at low pressure, a technology being developed by ECD business unit Ovonic Hydrogen Systems.

This is no small thing. Before we can buy a hydrogen-fueled vehicle in the showroom, some big technical hurdles need to be overcome in the lab, and one of the biggest is hydrogen storage. A hydrogen vehicle’s range depends directly on how efficiently this fuel can be converted to motive power and, more fundamentally, how much fuel can be stored on-board. Range will be especially important in the early years of hydrogen vehicle commercialization since a refueling infrastructure will still be in its infancy.
snip

Then there’s the approach offered by Ovonic Hydrogen Systems’ solid hydrogen storage, a concept so clever and intriguing it seems improbable…yet it works. A tank containing powdered metal alloys is filled with hydrogen at a relatively low 1,500 psi. Removing heat during the process causes the metal to absorb hydrogen like a sponge, and a new material called a metal hydride is created. Hydrogen stored in solid form like this is in a safer state and can be stored within a tank at a lower 250 psi. On-board systems determine when hydrogen is needed by an engine or fuel cell, providing heat to reverse the process so gaseous hydrogen is released from the hydride and into the fuel system. In an interesting phenomenon, a greater volume of hydrogen can be stored in the same size cylinder with metal alloy than without it, a consideration that provides better driving range.

snip
----------------------------------------------------------------

Well there you go. Happy tanking. If you don't see this again, maybe one will need to look into who controls our energy sources. Just an added thought, could we use some Hydrogen solid storage tanks at a Lunar Base?

Ooops, maybe I shouldn't be thinking such Lunar Thoughts.

Airborne laser shoots down missile in mid-flight

http://www.mda.mil/news/10news0002.html

I subscribe to Jonathan's Space Report and in his latest email he mentions an airborne laser test.
I did an Internet search for - Missile Defense Agency shoots down two missiles with Airborne Laser - and found a number of references.

Just part of the billions spent on Star Wars.

The Christian Science Monitor says that the Pentagon isn’t happy with the price tag, and that Defense Secretary Robert Gates canceled the original order for a second airborne laser system, but held onto the original aircraft for further experiments.

Will be interesting to see where the next billions of dollars are spent. Probably not on going to the Moon now that it is a lessor priority.

Missile tests
-------------

The DRDO (India's defense missile agency) launched the fourth Agni III missile from the IC4 pad on Inner Wheeler Island in Orissa on Feb 7. It flew south or southwest over the Bay of Bengal and the Indian Ocean, splashing down in the southern hemisphere after a 3500 km range flight to orbital parameters of around -4070 x 350 km x (80 to 131) deg - the exact direction of the flight is not known.

On Feb 12 the Missile Defense Agency tested the Airborne Laser against a Scud launched from a floating platform in the Pacific and a Black Brant IX launched from San Nicolas I. on the S Californian coast. Apogees of the targets were probably in the 100-200 km range.

Airborne laser shoots down missile in mid-flight

The US military's airborne laser scores its first direct hit.

By Chris Gaylord / February 12, 2010

Last night, the military officially entered the age of airborne laser weapons. A large laser mounted to the front of a modified 747 jet successfully detected and shot down a ballistic missile while both were in mid-flight.

The airborne laser program – part Star Wars (the sci-fi flick) and part Star Wars (the Strategic Defense Initiative) – has taken years of work and billions of dollars it get here. But the Pentagon can now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station.

"While ballistic missiles like the one [the Airborne Laser Testbed]
destroyed move at speeds of about 4,000 miles per hour, they are no match for a super-heated, high-energy laser beam racing towards it at 670 million mph," says defense contractor Northrop Grumman in a release after announcing the successful test Friday.

In a massive collaboration, Northrop Grumman constructed the megawatt-class high-energy laser, Lockheed Martin designed the firing system, and Boeing tied everything together with the U.S. Missile Defense Agency.

Airborne Laser Testbed Successful in Lethal Intercept Experiment

The Missile Defense Agency demonstrated the potential use of directed energy to defend against ballistic missiles when the Airborne Laser Testbed (ALTB) successfully destroyed a boosting ballistic missile.

The experiment, conducted at Point Mugu Naval Air Warfare Center-Weapons Division Sea Range off the central California coast, serves as a proof-of-concept demonstration for directed energy technology. The ALTB is a pathfinder for the nation’s directed energy program and its potential application for missile defense technology.

At 8:44 p.m. (PST), February 11, 2010, a short-range threat-representative ballistic missile was launched from an at-sea mobile launch platform. Within seconds, the ALTB used onboard sensors to detect the boosting missile and used a low-energy laser to track the target. The ALTB then fired a second low-energy laser to measure and compensate for atmospheric disturbance. Finally, the ALTB fired its megawatt-class High Energy Laser, heating the boosting ballistic missile to critical structural failure. The entire engagement occurred within two minutes of the target missile launch, while its rocket motors were still thrusting.

This was the first directed energy lethal intercept demonstration against a liquid-fuel boosting ballistic missile target from an airborne platform. The revolutionary use of directed energy is very attractive for missile defense, with the potential to attack multiple targets at the speed of light, at a range of hundreds of kilometers, and at a low cost per intercept attempt compared to current technologies.

Less than one hour later, a second solid fuel short-range missile was launched from a ground location on San Nicolas Island, Calif. and the ALTB successfully engaged the boosting target with its High Energy Laser, met all its test criteria, and terminated lasing prior to destroying the second target. The ALTB destroyed a solid fuel missile, identical to the second target, in flight on February 3, 2010.
