Pluto remains the last outer planet as yet unsurveyed by any passing spacecraft. The spacecraft, Pluto Kuiper Express, is part of an approach by NASA to build, smaller, better, cheaper satellites for future space exploration. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is designing a mission that will conduct reconnaissance of the Pluto/Charon system, determining their composition, atmosphere, and geological characteristics. If successful, the spacecraft will be sent to observe objects in the Kuiper Belt, laying just beyond the boundary of the solar system. To reach Pluto in a reasonable time frame at the lowest cost, several trajectory options must be carefully considered. This thesis presents a comprehensive analysis of a trajectory consisting of a Jupiter Gravity Assist flyby to Pluto. JPL specified two nominal launch dates of November 2003 and December 2004. The daily C3 requirements for these dates were determined by using the JPL programs MIDAS and CATO. This facilitated the creation of nominal launch periods for these two dates. By comparing the launch energy required by the trajectory on each day of the period to the performance capabilities of several medium lift launch vehicles, launch strategies for each day were compiled. These results allow JPL to make the final decision of the most feasible arrangement for launch, and build an alternate launch plan should the primary become unavailable.
When did we send Probes to pluto? I don't remember this being talked about in 2003-04

This report documents the proceedings of a workshop on issues involved in extraterrestrial planet surface activities involving mining and construction. In this second workshop dedicated to the subject, participants formed three discussion groups: (1) Construction and Mining Concepts and Equipment Designs, (2) Design Standards and Codes, and (3) Operations and Performance. Mining and construction tasks were categorized into 11 primary functions. Several equipment types and designs were reviewed for specific surface tasks, and surface and underground mining techniques were reviewed. It was noted that there is a need to develop separate codes and specifications for extraterrestrial construction, although earth-based codes provide a good starting point, and existing Corps of Engineers' Construction criteria and specifications may be a good model on which to base the new codes. Several key operational tasks, and concepts for accomplishing them were developed. One such important principle is to progress from simple to complex. Any lunar base should begin construction with modular, selfcontained units, and gradually progress to more complex construction using locally derived/developed materials. All groups emphasized that mission plans should be formed as concretely as possible, including crew size and mission timetable, to help establish realistic operations and performance criteria. extraterrestrial bases, lunar bases, extraterrestrial construction.

Report on $ they made from ET bases mining WTF!!! 1990 FY = fiscal year

G's does mean G-force, but you can measure speed in G's. Its used mostly to get a rough estimate of high speeds rather than a accurate speed.

"How fast is 9g?"
Originally posted by Mad Regent
9-G is how ever fast the Craft is going when it approaches that kind of force.
Your complicating things that don't need to be.
Do not worry though, alot of scientists and mathmaticians over complicate or go the long way around things.

What happens when you drop something off the top of a building? Think about it.
Please dont try and prove me wrong with you're stone age intellectual level because you won't. You also shouldnt belive everything you read in your math and physics books, alot of it is ether inaccurate or plain wrong.

It accelerates untill it reaches the Speed! of 9G. When a Craft is discribed to be capable of 9G it means it will accelerate to that Speed! exactly the same as a Moterbike, it will only accelerate to a certain speed. So conclusion, its an 9G Craft!
You guys sound like your following what you learn like a ritual without thinking about the dynamics of the situation.
RIP Bill Cooper who was shot in the head by the Apache County Sherriff's Dept in 2001 who previously had tried to arrest him on the morning of 911. He had previously stated that bin Laden would not be responsible for the pending 911 attack
