Microsoft founder to develop the largest space carrier to date

Beijing time on April 27th, according to foreign media reports, billionaire and Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen announced last week that a new company called "Vulcan Aerospace" (Vulcan Aerospace), supervised the same temperature Plane Launch Systems' space program, which includes a plan to develop the largest aircraft to date. This "spacecraft carrier" is used to send satellites, spacecraft and passengers into space. Stratospheric Launch Systems is working on a giant parent machine to bring spacecraft and detectors into orbit. With a wingspan of 385 feet (117 meters), the spacecraft is the largest aircraft ever built.

Allen's idea is to create a giant air platform that outperforms existing technology, allowing payloads to enter space at a faster rate and at a lower cost.

The mainframe of the stratospheric launch system uses six 747-class engines and is currently being assembled in the Mojave Desert, California. Initially, the system will be used to transport satellites with a maximum weight of 13,500 pounds (about 6,124 kilograms) into orbits from 112 to 1243 miles (180 kilometers to 2,000 kilometers). The aircraft will climb to a height of 30,000 feet (9,143 meters) and then launch rockets at high altitude to save fuel. If it is launched from the ground, it has to bear huge fuel costs.

Last week, Vulcan Aerospace President Chuck Bimos gave a speech in Colorado Springs to explain Volkan Aerospace's plans. He pointed out that Vulcan Aerospace will change the world's thinking about space travel by reducing costs and on-demand access. The Strato Launch System program was inspired by the Spacecraft One space plane that received the $10 million Ansari X Award in 2004. "Spacecraft One" was the first manned aircraft developed by a private company and entering space. Bimos pointed out: "The stratospheric launch system can be launched from different locations, and customers can choose the launch time to allow satellites and personnel to enter the optimal orbit faster. This system can be launched from areas far from densely populated areas - such as the sea - Dramatically reduce public safety risks."

Space Network reported that the mother machine of the stratospheric launch system will be the first test flight in 2016. The rocket used in this parent machine was developed by Orbital ATK and is designed to use a solid fuel subordinate and an RL-10 engine driven superior. According to reports, Volga Aerospace is still looking for other launch methods. Bimos said: "What we really want to do is focus on a low-cost propulsion system that can evolve in some way. We still think that Orbital is a potential choice. We are expanding our horizons to determine if this is a correct move. the way."

Bimos pointed out that the stratospheric launch system will support the launch of a series of launch vehicles on a certain day in the future. At present, Volga Aerospace temporarily suspended the development of manned vehicles using Orbital ATK thrusters, and put more energy on the parent machine of the "flying" stratospheric launching system.

In February, the world saw the giant aircraft of the Stratospheric Launch System Company for the first time. Recently, BGETSFIELD TV station KGET 17 reported on this giant aircraft and played related videos. The static screenshot of the video shows the huge size of the parent machine. The mainframe is designed with a dual fuselage and one of the video is being assembled. In the report, Kevin Mickey, president of the scale compound company, said that they have built a giant synthetic material structure of about 200,000 pounds (about 90,720 kilograms) for the mother machine.

In addition to satellites, the mother machine of the stratospheric launch system can also launch the "dream catcher" space plane. It is still unknown what kind of superior rocket engine the "dream catcher" uses. Simmons, the managing director of Stratospheric Launch Systems, pointed out in October: "The 'dream catcher' seems to be a logical choice." The parent plane of the stratospheric launch system is 385 feet in wingspan, in contrast to Hughes H. The -4 "Hercules" has a wingspan of 320 feet (about 97 meters) and the Boeing 747-8 has a wingspan of 225 feet (about 68 meters). Upon completion, each fuselage of the stratospheric launch system is 238 feet (72 meters) long, with 12 main landing gear wheels and 2 front landing gear wheels.

Stratospheric Launch Systems uses a computer to draw a series of images and produce video to showcase the giant parent machine. The image played by KGET 17 radio shows the real master machine for the first time. Allen has previously stated that his plan is to keep the United States in a leading position in space exploration and to make a new generation of children and children full of embarrassment. Now, a number of companies are developing spacecraft for the delivery of cargo and astronauts to the International Space Station. The Microsoft co-founder is critical of the embarrassment that the US government-led space exploration program is going downhill. NASA is working with Boeing and SpaceX to develop a spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral. Since the space shuttle retired in 2011, NASA has not conducted a manned launch.
