The Secret to Reusable Space Craft and a reusable Rocket

from web site

Elon Musk is an American entrepreneur, technological innovator and serial entrepreneur. He is currently the CEO, co-chief executive and product designer of PayPal; founder, president and COO of Tesla, Inc; product designer and developer of Hyperloops, a software platform for interactive online games; and founder and primary driver of OpenAI, a non-profit initiative to research the future of artificial intelligence. He is an inventor and is listed on the America's Hundred Most Innovative Companies list.

SpaceX's most notable achievement so far is their successful development of a reusable launch vehicle and the development of a heavy-lift rocket with multiple legs that will one day carry astronauts to space. The design concept for a crewed launch vehicle was derived from the idea that a vertical takeoff vehicle could fly around the Earth, glide for a period of time, touch down and then restart the process over again. The plan is to strap two landing legs to the front of the vehicle and angle its body forward for the glide.

Another important technological aspect of the design is the Invent Help use of its Hypervelocity Impact Motor orHIIM. This high-speed electric motor provides the power for the vehicle's main engines. One of its key features is its ability to provide torque at high angles of attack. The concept is to use the high energy of impact to spin the vehicle and force the motor to use its full potential.

The vehicle's design was originally derived from the work of noted aerodynamicist, Dr. Richard Seligman. His early studies focused on using air resistance to reduce drag. In addition to this, Dr. Seligman designed a fan-wheel type wing design using cantilever fins and swept back wings. This concept became the basis for Musk's design. The company he eventually started out with is based on this original concept for their reusable wing design.

A key characteristic of the SpaceX's design is its use of an aluminum honeycomb composite monocoque. Its use of a honeycomb allows the designers to make larger airfields in a smaller space, something which is necessary to operate a large commercial space flight. It also allows for some flexibility in configuration without Invent Help having to sacrifice structural integrity. In fact, this honeycomb design is such that it can be completely folded up and stored when not in use.

The goal of the company is to build as many launch vehicles as they can to meet all of NASA's requirements. They have so far focused on three designs - the Grasshopper, the Mantis and the Dragonfly. These will all be used to send unmanned aerial missions to test the technologies needed to someday land humans on the moon or Mars.

Musk has been quoted as saying "I think we can make a better airplane out of balsa wood than we can out of aluminum," and that he wants to see the design used for future capsules and private passenger craft. Though he certainly has the engineering expertise, many people are still skeptical. After all, what if it does not fly? However, Musk has always remained open minded and is constantly looking to improve his designs.

SpaceX is currently pursuing several innovative project including a reusable rocket and capsule designed by Musk. They also hope to develop their own satellite and robotic craft to take visitors to the space Invent Help. The ultimate goal for this company is to take people to destinations beyond Earth and beyond. In fact, they already have astronauts aboard the International Space Station. Though the odds of such a feat being successful are low, it is clear thatSpaceX will make history one day.
