If you are interested, the concept is for a participant to take responsibility for development of a virtual plot on Mars, one kilometer square on the surface, in a community called Sagan City (2018).
Participants will interact with each other to specialize in one or more of the knowledge areas which will be needed to sustain civilized life on Mars.

In addition, tahanson43206 is participating in a membership outreach campaign at NewMars forum. In an effort to build up a virtual business community focused upon Mars, messages are being send to newly registered members, inviting them to participate in the Hacienda topic.

A new branch of the My Hacienda topic just opened, in addition to the previously reported Devon Island branch. This new branch considers an implementation of Sagan City (2018) on an island in Norway. This island is inhabited, and international arctic research stations are already encouraged by the government.

In the past week, a variety of topics have been under discussion as usual.

A member found an article about architecture on Mars which inspired animated discussion. The proposal is to use steel cable to hold a fabric roof in place over a flat section of Mars regolith. The roof would be quite large. If you're interested look for the topic: Construction technology for Mars? You'll find a link to the original article, which itself is (apparently) a blog about an entire book on the subject.

The planned launch of the Mars 2020 rover in July of 2020 inspired discussion of a Virtual Expedition to accompany the mission. The Virtual Expedition would be offered to students, and it would feature online participation in groups of 100 individuals, under supervision of parents and guardians, and with leadership by domain experts who would provide opportunities for study during the two years of a hypothetical human venture.

In addition, the current spread of the Novel Coronavirus from China to the rest of the world inspired discussion of the progress of the disease on Earth, and of the potential value of a quarantine facility at Phobos on Mars.

In the past week, a variety of topics have been under discussion as usual.

A couple of (to me) ** really ** interesting new topics have come up for discussion in the NewMars forum this past week. The first is the possible use of basalt to make thread to wrap asteroids in a cocoon, to prepare them for acceleration. Most objects appear to be loosely bound rubble piles which cannot be given a push by a rocket, because they would just scatter. A cocoon made of basalt thread would (potentially) hold the rubble tightly so that it could be accelerated. While Earth defense is a significant reason for humans to want to accelerate asteroids or similar objects, the primary reason would presumably to harvest the atoms, molecules and compounds that are to be found within them. Harvesting would (most likely) best be done at a central facility where all the needed resources and personnel would be assembled for the purpose.

2020/02/10 The Asteroid cocoon idea is picking up steam.

In the past week, a variety of topics have been under discussion as usual.

Discussion of the optimum mixture of gases for habitats and greenhouses on Mars was robust. Links to studies of the subject were posted in some number, along with attempts to make sense of it all. In the end, I came away with two impressions ...

First, a mixture of Argon and Nitrogen is (apparently) viable as a mixture with oxygen, for human use. That conclusion arises from study of the use of Argon for deep sea diving. Argon turns out not to be better than nitrogen for that purpose, but apparently Argon serves well enough at ordinary (14.7 psi) pressure.

Nitrogen and Argon are both present in the Martian atmosphere in small proportions.

A discovery (in the sense of finding documents) is that plants can grow well in a greenhouse designed for Mars, using pressure well below Earth normal, but well above Mars ambient pressure. The researchers reported that oxygen is needed during the early growth phase from seed to mature plant able to perform photosynthesis. After that the oxygen supply can be removed, because the plants consume CO2 and produce oxygen.

In the past week, a variety of topics have been under discussion as usual.

Several new additions to existing topics occurred this past week, in the NewMars forum. Of particular interest (to me at least) is the idea introduced by member Calliban, of a plasma version of the "traditional" ballistic launcher.

The idea arose during discussion of work by Gerald Bull, and then by Dr. John Hunter, in building actual systems able to launch objects at velocities capable of reaching space.

In speculating about how Dr. Hunter might be designing his Quicklaunch system (currently in hiatus) to launch capsules at 6 km/second, Calliban pointed out that a temperature of 4000 degrees Kelvin would give Hydrogen the ability to boost a payload to the velocity specified. However, Calliban then went beyond that point to observe that a temperature of 12000 degrees Kelvin would give a capability of launching a payload to GEO and perhaps beyond.

In another topic, Calliban encouraged consideration of towing a human carrying rocket vehicle to a position on Earth and a velocity sufficient to take the place of a traditional first stage chemical rocket. We found a report of a NASA project to do something very similar, in 2005. That was a smaller scale investigation involving a towing aircraft, a glider which would carry a payload rocket, and the payload rocket.

In the past week, a variety of topics have been under discussion as usual.

kbd512 has been at the lead for a discussion of an electromagnetic substitute for the first stage booster of a chemical rocket. In the latest adjustment, the vision would be of a launcher set on the coast of a land mass such as Texas, which would deliver a vehicle at substantial velocity over a body of water such as the Gulf of Mexico. It was determined (using geometry) that a perfectly flat trajectory would bring the vehicle to an elevation of 20 miles, after a run of 400 miles, due to the curvature of the Earth. kbd512 has clarified that a small inclination of the flight path might be feasible. The original concern had been that the airframe of a vehicle operating at Mach 5 or 6 would be at risk if much of an angle of attack were attempted.

kbd512's original vision called for microwave energy to be transmitted to the vehicle, to assist with propulsion by heating an onboard material such as hydrogen. My assessment is that beaming of microwave energy to a moving vehicle is feasible, but it will (or should) be approached as an add-on to the basic launch concept, which will be difficult enough to achieve in the real world of US and Texas politics.

In another topic, it was reported that Indonesia has embarked upon a five year rocket development program, with a view to reaching orbit in five years. Because of the favorable circumstances of Indonesia's location and geography, the country might be a favorable site for the electromagnetic launcher envisioned by kbd512.

In the latest adjustment, the vision would be of a launcher set on the coast of a land mass such as Texas, which would deliver a vehicle at substantial velocity over a body of water such as the Gulf of Mexico.

In a variation of the basic idea, kbd512 has tossed out the idea of making the electromagnetic accelerator in the form of a banked circle, in which the payload package would circle a number of times until it builds up the momentum necessary to launch. The mechanics of releasing the payload package safely remain to be worked out.

In the mean time, tahanson43206 offered a similar vision of mounting a linear track on a rotating platform. The idea here would be to allow the launch to proceed in the azimuth needed by the customer, to match the orbital plane their business or military requirements dictate. The ISS orbits at 51.6 degrees, so the EML would be able to swing to that azimuth to serve the ISS with supplies.

There was an update in the EML topic: Post #2 of the topic was updated with a set of specifications:

1) Telephone pole vehicle with a diameter of 30 centimeters
2) Payload delivered to customer on orbit: 1 Metric ton
3) Total vehicle mass, including payload, structure, fuel and electronics: 3 Metric tons

The challenge for designers is to plan for EML to orbit altitude, followed by rocket ignition to achieve orbit circularization, and docking with the customer facility.

The EML system should be designed to provide for a range of velocities, from barely in orbit to escape from Earth.
