The Frontier Of Commercial Space On Low Earth Orbit

Since the mid-twentieth century, people have had a desire to explore different aspects of space. The space race between the United States of America and Russia was the height of space exploration. Now with modern interest in the colonization of Mars, the desire to explore space has, again, increased with 20 licensed launches in America in the 2017 calendar year according to the Federal Aviation Administration (“Commercial Space Data”). Different countries still express interest in exploring space, but commercial space exploration has become popular since the 2000’s. American organizations have to adhere to regulations of the FAA, the government organization that provides licenses and permits to enter into space. Many current pieces of legislation, which have solved multiple previous issues, can still be further developed to improve commercial space exploration in the future as Mars colonization becomes a more tangible goal. Robert Walker, a former member of the United States House of Representatives, declared that many of the current space laws “make it easier for government to function in space” (q.t.d “Space Law”), but not companies that could revolutionize commercial space travel. Current American laws on regulations, protection for companies, and what people can do in space need to be altered in order for commercial space companies to reach Mars.

(1)One of the biggest challenge of Jetstar is the tremendous increase in fuel cost. Because of the rising global fuel demand, the crude oil price rose over 50% over 10 years with rapid fluctuation and the fuel for airlines increased concurrently. Although Jetstar took significant steps to mitigate the impact of fluctuating and increasing airline fuel price, unavoidably its profit was influenced adversely.

While this is a deeply rooted concern for NASA, the organization plans to make progress in making human space travel safe and productive. In 2016, Former President Barack Obama wrote an article on CNN’s wire service with gargantuan hopes for the future generations of space travel to develop in the future. In the article entitled, “ America Will Take the Giant Leap to Mars”, Obama proposes that the United States will be capable of sending astronauts to Mars by the year 2030. To support his statement, he comments, “I’m excited to announce that we are working with our commercial partners to build new habitats that can sustain and transport astronauts on long-duration missions in deep space”(Obama 1). Here, Obama is acknowledging the fact that astronauts have been, and are, affected by radiation and loss of gravity when exposed to “deep space” for long periods of time. He is also revealing that through years of research and development, the government is prepared to safely send America’s astronauts to other planets for the purpose of exploration and advances in many technological fields. Yes, astronauts’ health

The SpaceX program designs, manufactures and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft. The company was founded in 2002 to revolutionize space technology, with the ultimate goal of enabling people to live on other planets. The company current has 3 vehicles forty plus manifest and over four thousand employees. SpaceX program maintains launch sites at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS), Kennedy Space Center in Florida, Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) in California, and Boca Chica, Texas. The company is current working on the most powerful operational rocket in the world. The rocket will have the ability to lift into orbit over 53 metric tons (117,000 lbs), a mass equivalent to a 737 jetliner loaded with passengers, crew, luggage and fuel. Falcon Heavy can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta IV Heavy.

In the year 2121, Jay and his crew took flight into space. Jay’s mission was to reach a potentially habitable exoplanet, Proxima Centauri b, to colonize and recreate civilization after the nuclear destruction of Earth in 2028. With years of planning and preparing, he gathered one hundred of the brightest and healthiest men and women he could find and built a space craft that could travel at 0.8 of the speed of light. With this speed, he calculated the estimated time of arrival to be around 2126. The space craft is powered by the effective fusion reactor generator, in which a controlled fusion reaction is performed releasing small amounts of antimatter. The massive

3. In 2012, SpaceX launched its Falcon 9 rocket carrying 1000 pounds of supplies to the International Space Station, making history as the first private company to send a spacecraft

Human fascination with the stars is as ancient as Babylonians and has been suggested to be older than Stonehenge. From “be fruitful and multiply” to “live long and prosper,” the instinct to protect and propagate the species has manifested in religion, art, and the imaginations of countless individuals. As human understanding of space treks out of the fantastical and into the scientific, the realities of traveling through and living in space are becoming clearer. Exploring, investigating, and living in space pose an expansive series of problems. However, the solutions to the problems faced by mankind's desire to reach beyond the horizon, through the night sky, and into the stars are solutions that will help in all areas of life on Earth.

Russian Soyuz spacecraft to ferry our astronauts to the ISS , costing 70 million per ticket. NASA encouraged a number of private U.S. companies to develop their own space rockets to get to the International Space Station. One of these companies is Space X (founded in 2002) who is under 1.6 Billion NASA contract, has already completed nine unmanned missions to resupply ISS and currently working to modify, making “Dragon” vehicle crew ready by 2017.

Since Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 Mission landed on the moon in 1969, space travel has been a fascinating subject for many Americans. From the 1970s through the late 1980s, not much had changed in the knowledge of space travel. In the early 1990s, the Hubble telescope and other space telescopes and satellites vastly improved our knowledge of our solar system. When NASA’s Space Shuttle program ended in 2011, many thought this was the end for space travel. But, several private sector companies have picked up where NASA left off. SpaceX is leading the industry and is revolutionizing space technology by creating new and more affordable spacecraft.

Many Americans have grown up in a world that has conquered space. They spent their time in elementary school reading about moon landings in their history books and watching countries work together to build the International Space Station on the news. Though previous American and Russian space programs pioneered engineering technologies; such as reusable rocket boosters and multiuse shuttles. Recently NASA has made a decision that has defined the future of space travel. This decision was to expand the growth of the free market space industry. Though polarizing, the evolution of the free market space industry is a positive occurrence for the world because private space corporations are more cost efficient then government space programs.

If anyone wanted to travel to space before it would’ve been very costly and not probable. SpaceX has created a rocket called the Falcon Heavy, which can carry large payloads

This paper is about a company called Adam Aircraft that manufactures designs and ultimately intends to sell aircrafts in the aerospace industry. Rick Adam, a successful entrepreneur that has a passion for flying, established the company in the year 1993. Rick Adam identified a need in the market through analysis and research by various means. His passion for flying was fueled by his father that served in the US Air Force. Pilots and computer engineers socially surrounded Rick, which gave him an insight to knowing what the customer needed. According to the case, Rick described himself as a raging incrementalist in which he preferred to innovate one-step at a time. That was the drive behind his semi-conservative approach to

Resolving Conflicts in Space Resource Commercial Exploration and Utilization with The Outer Space Treaty of 1967

‘Space Industry’ is a broad term. It includes a huge variety of different sectors and industries. It is not easy to track down an accurate definition of its boundaries. Estimation of the global value of the industry present significant discrepancies. It can be agreed, however, that the Space industry generates important revenues: SIA estimates USD 322.7 billion of global revenues for the industry in 2014, while the Space Foundation estimates USD 330 billion.
