Here is a picture that may help to better explain the electrodynamic tether concept to the more visual learners that we have on this site (as it can be tough to grasp at first, visual aids are often helpful):

Anyhoo...


Turns out, tethers have also been considered for use with various Space Planes - more notably HASTOL (Hypersonic Airplane Space Tether Orbital Launch). But this would also make the Black Horse even more valuable as a launch system.



Abstract: The Hypersonic Airplane Space Tether Orbital Launch (HASTOL) System is an efficient approach to transportation to orbit. A hypersonic airplane delivers the payload to the tip of a rotating tether at speeds well below orbital speed. The tether transfers momentum to the payload, releasing it into a desired orbit. The paper describes the concept, design efforts, a rendezvous and capture simulation, and prospects for commercial launch.

Introduction: Tether analysis and orbital experiments have shown the potential for tethers in orbit. Recent work in the MMOSTT study has led to the design of a tether system for transfer of payloads from low Earth orbit (LEO) to geostationary transfer orbit (GTO). The HASTOL concept represents a growth option for tether-assisted orbital transportation that increases the importance of the tether-assist and reduces the cost of the launch vehicle.

*The SpacePlane itself could use a tether as a propulsion system.

Wow! That Lake Kickapoo Space Surveillance Station spends $800,000
a year just on the electric bill!
I found it on Google Earth.
2 mile long pole.

Lake Kickapoo VHF Radar

I was more impressed with the X Band radar that is keeping an eye
on everything off the coast of Alaska.

Since I have your permission...I would like to add a few tidbits, and any hungry can devour.

Last year information was declassified concerning The National Reconnaissance Office and three domestic MGS located near Washington D.C., Denver CO, and Las Cruses NM, at the time of declassification, they were remamed Aerospce Data Facility East, Colorado, and Southwest respectively.

The same date, the NRO's "presence" went from rumor to fact at RAF Menwith Hill; RAFMH, and Joint Defense Facility Pine Gap, JDFPG near Alice Springs, Australia.

Thats all for now folks!

Interesting thread as usual



I would like to think we're finally getting closer to those intials that Bob Lazar mentioned in regards to his work at are 51; " USNAF " Not that it would mean everything he said was actually true.

The only mention I found for Bob Lazar and USNAF is one I made on a tinwiki thread on Bob Lazar.

Talk about your conspiracies.

I guess I may have been mistaken and delusional.

The space command logo looks so cartoonish that it seems like disinformation. It reminds me more of Space Angel and a few others.
