NASA –ORBITAL-ATK | The CisLunar Space Habitation Systems – Journey towards the Planet Mars….

There’s one other example of ways of going to the Planet Mars, in which “Elon Musk- Space X” has demonstrated, also NASA too has demonstrated their Path towards Mars. In this Case Orbital-ATK has demonstrated their Transportation systems, the CisLunar is one vision towards utilizing the Cygnus module system, basing on the “NASA SLS-Space Launch System” as the main carrier launch vehicle in the repetitive construction of the each Cygnus manned serviced modules in creating a space faring craft in featuring construction modular design in which each component is purpose build for the mission specifications..

As the modules assemble… then it’s ready to be transported with a flight crew on board for the next step in journey wise towards the Mars.. Utilizing the Orion Module as the principal work truck, in the construction time frame starting on from 2020 when the SLS program starts to takes place.. in where on 202 A ICH- Cygnus based initial Cislunar Module is launched on board the SLS with a manned Orion Module as things develop from there, the module is extracted, and placed, parked in position… until  2022 the Orion Crew Exploration Spacecraft and cargo pod launched aboard SLS for a human mission to a lunar orbit.. in where it gets assemble with the first module then more arrive in 2024 time frame where more modules added to increase capability and providing a periodic visits by human crews.. until on the 2028 time frame the habitation could be used as a destination for commercial or international unscrewed lunar missions.. in providing the 2030 time frame the CisLunar Configuration could be modified to accommodate with more modules for a duration mission to the Planet Mars as outfitted with international partners in this endeavor..

As the building up for the journey to Mars in the years of 2030 for “NASA – The National Aeronautics And Space Administration” also commercially inspired for Space X readiness for the launch  year of 2018 in testing out the Dragon nine command module also providing the ground work for their “Space X Interplanetary Transport Systems” for the colonization of Mars in years to come… as they approach on a step by step approach in which” NASA –Boeing” has been also applying in using the ISS-International Space Station as a test bed platform on which what would it be like on long duration travel to Mars, and interplanetary.. also in using the development of the SLS-Space Launch System….

Boeing’s strategic path is many , One of the first steps is return to the moon in establishing a Luna outpost, then testing the hardware and software in preparation towards Mars, in which establishing another space station pit stop.. with the Martin transport system in establishing a two year travel cycle where the distance between Planet Earth and Mars is at its closest given if you used planetary gravity assist mode of  to getting you there off orbiting around Mars, first then landing on mars to start adventuring on the Rusty Planet.. Today’s generation is the Mars Generation in sitting in that primary school class room is her or his inspiration to travel to Mars…

SPACE X | #InterplanetaryTransportSystem …………the next step…….

Onwards during this week of 27th September 2016 “SpaceX” has release there next proposal for their next generation of transportation in the development towards journey the Planet Mars, the program in development to realization is “ Interplanetary Transportation Systems.. “ the new Martian system or the Interplanetary Transport System.. is launched from the same Space Launch Complex 39A in which the Space Transportation system -Space Shuttle is operated on besides the other one is SLC 39B in which is heavily modified for the Space Launch Systems- SLS….

The new rocket in which founded on a tried and tested template from the Falcon nine reusable platforms in which is currently used for payload deployment then passenger transportation towards the International Space Station. As for the Interplanetary Transport system, it seems the booster and the command module together is larger than the NASA’s Saturn five (111 meters tall combine) five rocket, in which combine it’s 127 meters tall as the boosters is 77.5 meters, with the interplanetary module is 49.5 meters tall with a maximum passenger capacity of 100 crew on board, in which the design is very akin towards McDonnell Douglas DC-X – Delta Clipper design in which was a Space shuttle replacement..

The Main booster engines,  is consistent of newly tested Raptor engines in which each puts out with a 3,500 Kilo-Newton’s of thrust..  The Raptor Engine configuration consisted of 21 fixed outer, 14 inner with seven cluster engines with gimbals…  in which the Booster engine component with a velocity of 8,650 Km/Hr with the return of the booster to the landing site using of the seven percent of total booster prop load for re-entry burn and landing back.. In which the grid fins helps to guide back the booster back for landing for reusable refueling back on to the SLC-39A, to pick up the refueling payload- Tanker in which will dock with the manned version in parking orbit around Earth to fuel up for the destination.. As it refuels.. It gathers up the remaining supplies before heading outwards towards the Planet Mars… with its winged solar panels outwards to powering up the remaining parts of the Spaceship… In where once it reached its destinations it’ll land mission wise once it’s done it makes back towards earth… in the mission video the mission is clear for Elon Musk, as he actionized his vision on colonizing Mars for the long term as he plans to land a smaller version the Dragon reusable to practice learning if any massive modifications learn from of landing Dragon on the year 2018 then having it return to Earth to create a new industry standard..

As the build up to the “NASA’s Space Launch Systems” in preparations in returning back to the moon Luna, then towards the rusty orange Planet Mars, with ongoing efforts in establishing an outpost on research, exploration, commercial, also tourism on those two… as the First Test flight of the Constellation Program – SLS is underway for the for the launch calendar year 2018, no later than November launch window… on a re-built-recondition Launch complex –LC 39B at Kennedy Space Center in Florida that was once launched by the STS- Space Transportation Systems, The Space Shuttle program- the Work Truck of NASA.. With the Orion command module on-board to test the full stack of its systems before a manned test flight to see if any other modifications, tweaking, and turning are required to rebuild another variant of the original SLS rocket..

In this see that preparations of a forty meter long SLS liquid hydrogen fuel tank constructed with a new tooling systems at Vehicle Assembly Center at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans…. In where this major component is of the first stage in which it takes up least two thirds of sixty five meter first stage among its other component in which stores the Liquid Oxygen in where the two it feeds the powerful four RS-25 engines that was once used on the Tri-cluster Space Shuttle Main Engines, now heavily modified for the SLS program, also with a pair five segmentation SRB’s Solid Rocket Boosters on each sides.. Using the same design heritage from the STS-Space Shuttle program..

Apart from the forty meter Liquid Hydrogen tank is the testing for flight qualification to see whether to see if it sustains to any form of extreme stresses that may be impose on it to see if any other modifications learning experiences  that are learn from that testing at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama…

As more of the crew space transport service providers, is set to take on the crew commercially to the International Space Station-ISS….. As Commercial providers “SpaceX-Dragon nine” “Boeing-Starliner” also “Amazon-Blue Origin-New Shepard” is set to provide that partnership, in which new launching facilities platforms are constructed… One historical component   is the Catwalk, is where the final departure room of the Astronauts, Cosmonauts, Tychonauts into before preparation into the Spacecraft before launch as during the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, STS-Space Transportation Systems-Space Shuttle, Then onwards to the SLS-Space Launch Systems- Constellation program..

In this Boeing, is set to build their commercial launch complex on NASA’s Cape Canaveral’s (Space Launch Complex)  SLC-41  that’s built from scratch to as it began testing the white room one week before its final installation.. In which is built for the Atlas five rockets with the Starliner as the Command Module, on which the white room/ Catwalk is finally installed on Monday, 15th August 2016…. So what were you  doing this morning at 0730 EDT… ?
