MISSION
This is a non-profit suborbital space endeavor, based entirely on sponsors and volunteers.
Our mission is to launch a human being into space.

We are working fulltime to develop a series of suborbital space vehicles - designed to pave the way for manned space flight on a micro size spacecraft.

Two rocket vehicles are under development. A small unmanned sounding rocket, named Hybrid Atmospheric Test Vehicle or HATV and a larger booster rocket named Hybrid Exo Atmospheric Transporter or HEAT, designed to carry a micro spacecraft into a suborbital trajectory in space.

The mission has a 100% peacefull purpose and is not in any way involved in carrying explosive, nuclear, biological and chemical payloads.

We intend to share all our techninal information as much as possible, within the laws of EU-export control.



they even have a sub..

Hahah ahaka sa payload. Capsule jud kaayo. Im actually surprised of how small the missile is considering it is supposed to be suborbital.
I would like to know the specs of this vehicle if possible. How many kgs is the thrust, fuel type, dimensions etc.

Layo na jud kaayo ang advancement sa Rocketry considering the sub-orbital German V2, was much larger and fatter. That was 1942.

Walay mo sakay ani oi!...grabeh ka gamay...

kuyapan ko ani mga bai bisan mo lingkod pa lang di pa mo larga

[cheboyakoa]

Grabe naman ni..hehehe....

"Our mission is to launch a human being into space."

ahhh, did they mention bringing human back to space?

basin one way trip rani hahahahaha.

While I do laud the efforts these guys are exerting, being a space-fan myself, its hard to believe they don't have any long term plans for any profit-oriented space-related endeavors.

hahaha.

USC-TC Mechanical Engineers built there own submarine also. I forgot the date.
There was also a batch made a rocket.

dapat naa na unta research ani, launching rockets from underwater.. because maka save unta sa fuel.. dako kaau ang fuel consumption sa ordinary rocket launch or shuttle launch kay bug-at man kaau ang load & just to get it from zero velocity>running ,daghan kaau fuel magamit..

but if the rocket is launched from underwater, naa na cyay initial velocity, because the compressed gases would make the rocket lighter than water.. ang example ani is the trident missles from the ohio class submarines.. for a long-term space project, nindot unta mag put sila og effort to launch the rockets from underwater by way of a submarine OR an underwater rocket silo.. basin naay mo ingon na gamay raman ang trident missle?? well my design is to replace all 24 trident missle in the sub w/ just one huge rocket, unya naa ra ramp to position it vertically for the launch

& another possibility na nakit-an nako was from the game 'ace combat'.. naay space launcher na gihimo using magnetic rails.. mura cya og rollercoaster, the rocket is carried by a platform train.. unya mo larga ni para naay initial velocity.. & then ang track mo bend upwards & then the rocket is launched

w/ regards to profit oriented space endeavors, skeptical pa ang mga businessmen ani, BUT once ma streamlined na ang technology for cheaper space travel, i'm sure mag pa unahay ni sila, & if they find out na naay nindot na minerals sa moon, mag pa unahay ni sila og titulo sa yuta sa moon, & i've heard rumors na naa nay na ka tag-iya og yuta sa moon.. tinuod ni ?

i can imagine putting an empty bottle underwater - and releasing it creates initial velo.
