Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) to lift-off on Friday 11th.The launch site is Vadenverg Air Force Base. The launch vehicle is a Delta II rocket.
WISE will take a polar orbit (am I right?) to look for far and hidden cosmic objects using an infrared ray system. Don't forget to watch the lift-off on NASA TV!

Each HotelsInSpace includes 12 staff units, 72 units with sleeping for three for sale/rent, six cafeterias, six separate zero gravity sections, gardens to feed 36 people, internet connection to the world and access to the entire HotelsInSpace.
This is the place where many people can try ZeroGravitySex.
Depending on other’s transportation facilities, we feel any time under one week per year will not be usable, unused time accumulates.
Owning one week, in one unit, in one hotel unit when we first open for rent, means when we have 52 hotels you own 52 weeks.
In 2009 we showed the world our answers to why we can go.
Lift 1,000,000 lbs of pre shaped Single Stage To Orbit (SSTO) Heavy Lift Vehicle (HLV).
Re use the casings fuel tanks and software in orbit as infrastructure.
Attach 6 used rockets, clean, renovate and place the 36 satellites in their respective orbits.
Do it again, lifting another 1200 people, 36 satellites and building more HotelsInSpace.
CitySkapes above the clouds.
Safety?
How many people died this month in car accidents?
How many died when swimming?
How many died in Boating accidents?
With 120 NASA shuttle launches, less than five burned on re-entry.
Less then 35 people die and less than 500 live to tell stories about space travel.
With 120 Tasha9503 launches, if 4 burn on re-entry, that’s 800 people die and 23,200 live to tell space stories.
We also end up with 19 HotelsInSpace.
Does that answer any questions about safety and send any other questions?

IASE experts who would like to discuss aerospace senior design projects with my aerospace engineering students are welcome to join our network at the University of Colorado. Please mention your IASE membership when you join.
Thanks

can anybody tell what standard ,in the IO interfacing ,are being adopted in the Space Application ( Write now I am doing my Project in the High Speed transceiver Design for IEEE-LVDS standard.. I also want the comment on LVDS standard
Please

I am keen in SPACE application and research and want to embedded my specializations and interest.....
What are the SPACE applications in the Area of Analog-RF and mixed signal system VLSI design. Plz reply to deepakgupta.india@yahoo.com (me )

Joel - something on a related thread - what is your simulation written with? I presume it has some physics models etc - how do you visualise? how easy to change/ set up new simluations?

Quick question for all the techies out there. What is the benefit of a lot of sattelites? Besides better coverage, will more sattelites expand bandwith? Will we be able to transfer more data? If every company had their own sattelite, would they be able to transmit secure communications video to people in their company, etc?

And how does the cost of sattelites compare with the cost of fiber optic cable? How cheap would space access have to be to switch over?

This seems to be precisely the place where I can post some head-scratchers, and share some results of experiments ongoing here at Longview's new lab at Darkwood.

My partners will pinch the seat, I'm certain, but I think I can share an example unrelated to mission-sensitive information, once in a while that might not insult the intelligence of Space Experts.

For example, at the very moment we have a simulation underway to test rendezvous and inspection of Vanguard, which, as James Oberg reported earlier this week, has orbited Earth @ 194,000 times since its launch on St. Patrick's Day 1958, and is still classified as a mission, not as space debris. The problem, finding a fuel-friendly window. It's a puzzle, with it's eccentricity of 0.1909.

The interest has a purpose, but Oberg's suggestion the small faithful probe, last heard from in Quito in 1964, be retrieved doesn't interest me. Sure, I'd like to inspect this ultimate Long Duration Exposure Facility with it's admittedly low profile, but I think it would be better visited than brought home.

After all. NASA expects this fourth artificial satellite will remain in orbit another 240 years. Retrieval can wait. Space Command has a good track. It hasn't lost any height in it's original insertion more than 60 miles, and that from peak solar cycle upper atmospheric rarification.

Meanwhile, that as we continue watching this simulation, I intend to lurk for a while before presuming to speak out of turn again for a while.

Greetings to you all.
