Wow Jan, Just clicked through the graphs. Some are missing: - Clicking on "Mining Hopper Unit" I get directed to Hopper Docking Module - Clicking on "Cargo...
Jan, While thinking through the big picture issues I hit again on this thing you wrote some time back when explaining what you did with your presentation with...
Hi all, Picking up an idea based on the below discussion on training people. No matter how much we automate or rather telerobot our operations, we'll need...
My apologies, Ueli! Something went wrong using the 'copy' keys there, when pasting the URLs. Working too late at night is fatal! However, here are the...
Seems like this is the business to me, Ueli......... It is only when you have to stand up and explain things to others (especially those not in these fields)...
Worth mentioning that here in Tucson, the Kit Peak observatory completed its survey of Earth-Moon L4 and L5. They found nothing. Â However, the resolution...
Yes Phil, of course the place needs to be looked over first. From what I grasp of orbital dynamics around the stable L4 and L5 points I come to the conclusion...
Ueli, NASA has been occupying L4/L5 intermittently, or in transit, for a number of years, the latest mission being the Solar Observatories 'STEREO': ...
Jan, which Lagrange points are you referring to? I assume that the L4/L5 points under discussion in the big picture are NOT the Earth-Sol Lagrange points...
OK Phil, we did look at this some time back, as I think you raised these points earlier about accumulated debris at L4/L5 points? You have clarified the point...
Jan, An object traveling in Earth-Sol L4/L5 is in orbit essentially around the sun, and yet from the frame of reference of the L5 point, it seems to be in a...
Too many unknowns yet then, Phil! However, we do know about LEO debris, as I posted some images here some time ago on this, as well as this NASA report:...
Phil, The Kosomos-Iridium kind of smash-up resulting in total destruction is indeed probably rare (still, but watch the counter...). However that's not what...
Phil, Jan, Just to make it clear: I was thinking of Terralunar L4/5 not Solterran L4/5 for manufacturing. That's where manufacturing, assembly and lots of...
The orbital velocity I quoted was for a frame of reference centered on the Lagrange point itself. From such a frame of reference, the debris orbits the...
Phil, Perhaps then the solution to countering such debris is to use bulk water tanks for shielding on an outer station boundary so the freezing liquid...
Phil, 1. What's the escape velocity at Terralunar L4/5 ? How come I hear of unsure effect of solar wind on the dust there? 2. Anything bigger than about 0.5 m...
Jan, I'm splitting up issues into three different points in order to be able to track correctly. 1. Tugging asteroids to Terralunar L4/5 ... As you say, this...
Jan, ... Remember how we were thinking of establishing diggers on the rotational poles of asteroids, then digging large diameter wells right down along the...
Jan, 3. Lagrange navigation ... ".....these various Lagrange points do suggest a staged relay of exchange stations to minimise down time of the largest journey...
Yes, I think you are right on target here, Ueli. A man-made 'asteroid' formed from accumulated slag is a perfect solution for utilising what has been preying...
Ueli, considering the interactions of LEOstation with Earth, and rotational stability, the null point gee of Solar L4/L5 suggested an ability to rotate objects...
Patience is the name of the game here, Ueli......... Mostly the processing end capacity dictates the flow speed of incoming raw materials, so a steady stream...
Sorry Jan, my English can't track this. What's a caddis-fly? It is the 'caddis-fly' approach, as building around a communication tube framework is far more...
Sorry, Ueli, this is a denizen of English free-flowing country streams: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caddis_fly They build a hard casing of small rock...
Jan, I think H2O shielding with freeze plugs is a good idea. Â Again, I don't know if there really is a threat. There is a possible problem that to keep the...
