I am estimating that there are 3 and possibly 5 secret space stations the size or larger than ISS.

They are probably all in the same orbital plane as ISS so that moving between them is a simple matter of undocking, a small burst of thrust, wait for the next secret space station in the orbital plane to 'catch up' add a little thrust to match the secret space station and dock.

You could do that all day long with a minimum amount of fuel. And of course we are not talking about Shuttle sized OMS, we are talking small thrusters because we are talking about small changes in orbital speed.

This might be a good way to deliver food and supplies once it is delivered to the ISS. Maybe there is a little 'ShuttleTug': one small engine, one astronaut and a cargo compartment.

These secret space stations shouldn't be to hard to see once you know where to look. If, in fact, they were all in the same orbital plane as I suspect, you just wait for the ISS to come across the sky in all its brilliance and glory, then get out your binoculars and NVG's and watch the exact same orbital path that the ISS made across the sky for about 90 minutes.

You should see anywhere from 3 to 5 dimly lit space stations cross in the same path each about 15 to 30 minutes apart. Since they are probably equally spaced if we find one, then by using the timing it passed by after the ISS we can find the others.

Now, if all three to five secret space stations are all in different orbits then there is a gigantic problem of supply. They would then have to send up one Progress or other space vehicle every week or month to each separate station as it would be difficult but not impossible to fly from one secret space station in one orbit to another secret space station in a completely different orbit which would require a considerable amount of fuel.

No wonder the United States Strategic Command is so big. I'm getting a headache just thinking about the possibliities.


Have you ever used this strategy to see the secret space stations? I'm going to give it a few tries.

Great work Zorgon on a good thread. I pretty much "buy" the possibility that there are "dark" space projects - I don't "see" how there can not be at least some. To not do so would be potentially imprudent. Hardware and covert launches would not seem to be a problem if that was the desire.

It was interesting to read the concept space platform stuff on the NASA Technical Reports Server CR-181795
PDF from way back. Completely doable, complicated but doable. $19,000,000 Russian space toilets? Um, yeah. OK. Sign here. Thanks for shopping Roskavia. Hey Yuri, we have enough to build extra Proton this month.

The orbital photos are interesting too. Not conclusive, but worth additional follow up as John Lear has suggested. A great ATS community project perhaps? I have seen stuff in the same general orbit as ISS both when shuttle was docked and undocked. Do I have photos? No. Just points of light moving across the heavens to the naked eye.

I like John Lear's notion of several platforms in the same general orbit - it could explain the enormous amount of "junk" that seems to fly by ISS/STS on a frequent basis and perhaps allow for "unpublicized" visits by STS on the way "uphill" and "downhill". I am not convinced that Shuttle orbiters are used in this manner at this point. Possible? Technically? Yes.

Russian orbital heavy lift? No problem. Sea-Launch? Yup. And what about that there real big thing "intelligence" converted oil-rig-platform deal America has floatin' round the Pacific? Maybe there are more? Put several Sea'Launches on that and still have room for helicopters - where is it?

You know what? I suspect there may even be hardware and humans in polar orbit. It would be strategically advantageous to have such global overflight capabilty. Australia could be handy for either type of orbital launch - big place, Australia. Gear. The Russkies did have a "dark" Mir - there are photos out on the Net somewhere.

The "Aquila" craft looks a bit like the "whatever" in my ATS signature... the size is even close enough to consider. Perhaps something "next-gen" and long "dark"? Military dark. Near AG tech dark, but not flying saucer/particulization "dark". Hmmm. Beyond Aquila?

I also like the "Buzz" aka "Dr. Rendezvous" Aldrin as front man for covert-lift angle too. Plans within plans within plans. Quite a history that Aldrin fellow, perhaps he has a deeper history - unwritten. There would need to be a bunch of launches pretty regularly unless there is AG heavy-lift to orbit capabilities. Anybody got Admiral Bobbie Inman's number? LOL.

I will follow this thread and see where it leads.

Cheers,

Vic

HEY Undo...

I KNOW you will find THIS connection interesting

There are so many Delta launches all around the country... I don't think anyone pays attention, nor cares what they are transporting...




The US Air Force 45th Space Wing

Based at Cape Canaveral and
Patrick Air Force Base, the US Air
Force 45th Space Wing has the
mission of supporting manned
and unmanned space launches and
conducts all Eastern Range
launch operations, including
Delta, Atlas, and Titan space
launch vehicles.The Wing also
provides launch support for the
Space Shuttle and Naval Ordinance
Test Unit, including telemetry,
radar, and weather.Over 4,000
employees, from space scientists
and meteorologists to satellite
payload specialists, are supported
by the Wing’s IT infrastructure.


Sorry the Devil made me do it

Do something more productive than this .........whatever it is you're supposed to be accomplishing here.



LOL let them be, Undo... they can't refute those documents so they have to resort to childish antics to derail the thread so they won't have to face the real issues...

Its always fun to see that because you just KNOW you got em

Matyas and Mr Furry... I believe you will like THIS one

Anchored Lunar Satellites for Cislunar Transportation and Communication1
Jerome Pearson2

Abstract:
The concept is examined of anchored lunar satellites, balanced about the collinear libration points Li and L2 of the Earth-moon system and attached to the lunar surface. The design parameters of such satellites are examined by applying the equations of the restricted three-body problem; the material strengths required are within those of available composite materials. Anchored lunar satellites could launch lunar materials throughout cislunar space electrically for 0.75 kilowatthour per kilogram, could provide essentially continuous lunar farside communications without station keeping propellants, and could supply a lunar base without lunar landing rockets.
