There’s a challenge that’s undergoing – on its way, it’s call the “Andromeda Initiative” in partnership with the “Bioware’s-Mass Effect Andromeda” also among with the “ESA-European Space Agency” in where six selected people in teams of two whom are Gamer Content creators.. Who will participate in an almost real world space working environment, in where they will board the Ark Hyperion…

The mission specifications will draw in their experiences, their skillsets in so many levels also abilities.. Also unknown ones as they adventure throughout the training sessions at the European Space Agency Astronaut Center in Cologne in Germany… as they gather experiences first hand in what life would be like for the Ryder’s whom are the two main characters in the Mass Effect Andromeda Initiative in exploration of new home world in another galaxy six billion light years ago least from the Home galaxy the…. The team will undergoes a three day intensive training through the same training like how the Astronauts do…

What also tells the stories is the Computer animations that describes the scenes in the background… in this, it’s about an Astronaut Mark Watney whom is lost to a mission to mars after a Martian sandstorm after his crew abandoned the Mission and making ways back to Earth moments later they realized that Mark ( Matt Damion) is alive and well after a trying to communicated back to NASA, having his team finding he’s still alive and well they proceed to rescued him on a perilously untried Mission to get him back safely, in “ The Martian”  screenplay from a Andy Weir’s novel ten years in the making in which the Story of place is twenty years from now..

In this, the production is heavily reliant of Material technical wise on the nearest detail with the advisement of NASA, in providing the graphical narrative of the story, with a heavy graphical nature to show the information of schematics, three dimensional displays of the Martian terrain, and mission information translating on relative technologies  … which reflects in today’s space systems technologies usage in the follow space craft in return to the NASA’S  Space Launch Systems Orion Command Module, with SpaceX Dragon  …   The effects was done who complied graphically narrative is “ Territory “

Orbital sky diving Aero braking – a new ultra extreme sport?

kevinjamesngLeave a comment

If you love extreme sports, this is one that’s the one up, to ultra extreme sports in comparison of too red bull air race and walking the entire lenght Great Wall of China solo.

One of the ultra extreme sports that I could see and trend in the later mid 21st century is Aero Braking. Where you suit up in a protective shield EVA | Extra-vehicular activity suit and make thrill seeking sport of descening of  an orbital plaform .

The idea is to Aero Brake on descent in above the Earth’s atmosphere. Where you jump of an orbital satillite and orbiting around earth and descening on to a target on Earth. To give you a bit of thrust a detactable back pack  

 One thing there are numerous techincial challenges along the way. The modify  EVA suit, there’s need to be a durable armoured shield suiting to bare the stresses of re-entry. Life support systems within the suit needs to be modify, to the conditions of re entry to protect the critical systems. . 

Another thing the delivery system of re entry, is the asspect of landing, the parachute would required in need of a much heaviver, durable weights  to slow down the descening person and also the added weight that’s added to the suit itself.

There’s being various examples where this sub Orbital Skydiving is used in the days before Astronuants, Aquanuants take the orbital plunge in testing out suiting equiment to survive in space from a weather balloon, and jumping out to test the required systems.

In Films there’s been of recent, Star Trek the reboot, where Kirk, Sulu, and the other guy whom ended up being his own fatality, orbital skydive to disable and neturalised the Nero’s drilling platform that was drilling into the planet Vulcan, Spock’s homeworld.   Another  reference is when Captain James T Kirk Orbital Skydive just before when he visited the retrofitted Excelsior class modify Enterprise-B, on Star Trek Generations the movie novel.

One application where this may arise is when there’s an emergency situation of say a low earth orbit vechicle that needed evcuation of Command module, if given an extremely harden jump modify EVA suit from the space station itself where if the escape assets are full used up, and there’s another way of escaping back to Earth.

As seen here on the Star Trek eleven movie 2009- between time lapse 1:15 to 1:25 minutes.
