The Enzmann Echolance: Reach for the Stars

Product Information

Have been getting ready for, and attending, “Starship Century”, so I have missed reading this post. NASA officials announced Wednesday, May 15, that the Kepler space telescope — the agency’s primary instrument for detecting planets beyond our solar system — had suffered a critical failure and could soon be shut down permanently.

Certificate of Appreciation from the Muscular Dystrophy Association, January, 2003: For artistic contribution Another question – if the deuterium is frozen, dies it even need to be enclosed in a “tank”. Would a lightweight mesh do? I assume the deuterium acts as a shield. Would it also not be better to have the crew compartment contained within the tank to act as a cosmic radiation shield, or is the crew compartment mass sufficient for that already?a b c d e f Long, K.

Image: The Enzmann starship as envisioned by the space artist David Hardy. This painting was commissioned by Kelvin Long in 2011 to depict a scene Hardy had first painted in the 1970s. As for scaling down, if you ever manage to read the original essay by Stine, he was proposing one stage of the initial probes to have small payloads – but to reach the speeds he wanted, the mass ratio was +1,000. Thus the launch mass was ~1,000,000 tonnes, with multiple stages. Q: If neither of these options works, Kepler is still an amazing space instrument. Could it conduct other types of experiments?

A: As I said earlier, there is still a year and a half’s worth of data in the pipeline to analyze to identify candidate planets, so there are still discoveries to be made.

Explain the Lorentz transformation and many of the features of relativity in terms of four-dimensional space-time I mentioned at the outset of this series on 1970s starship projects that among some designers, at least, it was a time of immense optimism. We saw that in Bob Forward’s aggressively ambitious plan for exploration as presented to a subcommittee of the U.S. House. We also see it in spades in Stine’s thinking, making this theme a good note on which to close. Stine believed interstellar travel was possible through the laws of known physics and that it would not involve one-way trips but continued waves of exploration with frequent return to Earth. He goes on:

Derive the corresponding Lorentz transformation equations, which, in contrast to the Galilean transformation, are consistent with special relativity The ball of frozen deuterium would fuel thermonuclear-powered pulse propulsion units, similar to Project Orion engines. The spacecraft would be assembled in Earth orbit as part of a larger project preceded by interstellar probes and telescopic observation of target star systems. The rest of the spacecraft would be attached behind the ball as a seamless metallic fuel tank. The proposed method of tank construction would be to expand a plastic balloon in space and coat it with metal. Implicit in these equations is the assumption that time measurements made by observers in both \(S\) and \(S'\) are the same. That is, Kepler has done what the program managers said it would do, and that is to give us an inventory of extrasolar planets. It completed its primary observation phase, and had entered its extended science phase. We’re already in the gravy train period — there’s still a year and a half’s worth of data in the pipeline that scientists will analyze to identify other candidate planets, and there will continue to be Kepler science discoveries for quite some time. Whether or not it could function as a detector for asteroids is something that would have to be studied, but since it wasn’t built as a camera, I would say that I’m skeptical. That said, certainly between Ames Research Center and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, they’ve got the best people in the world working on it.

Describe the Galilean transformation of classical mechanics, relating the position, time, velocities, and accelerations measured in different inertial frames We can obtain the Galilean velocity and acceleration transformation equations by differentiating these equations with respect to time. We use \(u\) for the velocity of a particle throughout this chapter to distinguish it from \(v\), the relative velocity of two reference frames. Note that, for the Galilean transformation, the increment of time used in differentiating to calculate the particle velocity is the same in both frames, \(dt = dt'\). Differentiation yields Certificate of Recognition of Achievement Award, Maine Legislative Sentiment sponsored by State Senator W. Tom Sawyer, January 2003: Congratulations for artwork accepted by MDA, recognition of efforts as art teacher with neuromuscular disease, and completion of Associates Degree Engineers of the project would be able to say whether you could do any of this, especially having an independent unit work without some minimal mating with the scope’s electronics. In any case, one could even make a contest for this repair mission if, indeed, Kepler is dead-in-the-water, not re-purposed or fixed. If doable, then perhaps this mode of repair could keep Kepler going for many years. And I bet Musk could get a souped-up Falcon out there on the cheap.

An event is specified by its location and time \((x, y, z, t)\) relative to one particular inertial frame of reference \(S\). As an example, \((x, y, z, t)\) could denote the position of a particle at time \(t\), and we could be looking at these positions for many different times to follow the motion of the particle. Suppose a second frame of reference \(S'\) moves with velocity \(v\) with respect to the first. For simplicity, assume this relative velocity is along the x-axis. The relation between the time and coordinates in the two frames of reference is then Special Recognition Award Listen & Be Heard: Arts, Culture, and Entertainment Magazine, November 2006: For contribution of articles and workshops on symbolism I mentioned yesterday that Freeman Dyson, a major player in the Orion research, would go on to publish a 1968 paper that took Orion to the next level, using thermonuclear devices to drive the spacecraft. Dyson’s ultimate craft was capable of speeds of 10,000 kilometers per second, enabling a mission to Alpha Centauri with deceleration at the destination in 130 years. I imagine it was Dyson’s starship that fired the imagination of Robert Duncan-Enzmann, then at Raytheon Corporation, leading to a modified and extended Orion that Stine would use in his article.
