I was wondering, and please forgive my lack of knowledge in this regard ... is there a way to plug in all the data you have compiled into a 3d cad simulation?

Cheers.

Hmmmm .... now thats a very good idea and something I'd like to see done sometime ... could prove quite informative.
But unfortunately I've never used any 3D Cad software and therefore lacking in the necessary expertise

You're more than half way there. It can be done with Google Earth.

While using the photograph would be tricky it's possible to use the polygon and path features to place the trajectory and something spiral-like in the proper locations.

Exporting the kml file would make it available to everyone with Google Earth.

So, would it be not inconceivable for Russia to try to divert global attention away from any new technology testing by claiming multiple and successive failures in something as elementary as the solid fueled propulsion system ? Would public amusement and ridicule be worth the price to pay for the ability to covertly test radical new technology with almost minimal scrutiny ?


That is moot, why would they want to risk international questioning and possibly diplomatic issues by blowing up a rockcet over Norway ? And that just days before the arrival of US president Obama (Nobel Peace price).

Added: Impressive work, S&F for you. I am not 100% how you backtracked the original launch sites though.

As I mentioned in my thread, I "guestimated" the probable original launch site area. Essentially because the 4 spiral points (C thru F) all mapped perfectly onto a great circle trajectory path, I assumed it would be logical that the sub would have positioned itself in the White Sea in such a manner that there would be minimal need for corrective thrust maneuvers to align the missile along the correct great circle trajectory ... if for no other reason than to minimize fuel wastage/consumption.

So basically, the sub puts out to sea ... navigates to the starting location of the pre-calculated great circle/trajectory ... then launches the missile which is now flying along the great circle trajectory path with minimal flight corrections needed.

Thank you for all your intelligent, hard work on this thread.

I have been a supporter of the "missile theory" from day 1.

Of course, I have not applied 1,000th of the logic & reasoning that you have.

I look forward to reading your information in detail.

Kind regards

Actually, you did:

"So, would it be not inconceivable for Russia to try to divert global attention away from any new technology testing by claiming multiple and successive failures in something as elementary as the solid fueled propulsion system? Would public amusement and ridicule be worth the price to pay for the ability to covertly test radical new technology with almost minimal scrutiny ?

I think so .... "

That is a conspiracy theory ^^^^^^^

The Russian military (and for that natter, the world press, including the Norwegian government and press) is conspiring to lie about what they observed/intentionally going along with Russia's lies.

I read the papers and see numerous occasions, almost daily, of governments disagreeing with our governments.

Take Georgia.. the US press went wild in disagreeing with Russia, publicly.

Why not do that this time?

I guess they must've conspired, secretly, to cover-up Russias new secret technology?

Is that what you think?

Based on what?

Why would you go to such extreme lengths to back up your other assertions, then at the very end add a bit of unsubstantiated rumour-mongering, and then say, yes, I believe these rumours?

Based on what?

The fact that Russia shouldn't suck so badly at making missiles work?

The fact that you don't currently think it was an accidental failure?

Well, a month ago you thought it wasn't a missile, right?

What will you definitively prove in another month?

You're fact based analysis of the data was good, up to a point, but engaging in speculation undermines the credibility of your actual analysis.

Just my opinion.

But it is my opinion.

Firstly great research and detail in the OP - brilliant actually.

Please forgive me in advance for what are probably stupid questions and a misguided observation.


Not stupid questions at all ... in fact I (and many others) have asked those same questions.
Unfortunately, the answers aren't very satisfying



What "emissions" caused the blue corkscrew track and the subsequent whitish spiral ?

Uknown ... although most early speculation was that these 2 phenomena were somehow the result of 2 fuel leaks/discharges located on opposite sides of the missile.
My analysis seems to rule out this explanation.



Were they deliberate or as a result of a failure ?

Again, early speculation was that they were unintentional and the result of some kind of failure within the 3rd stage.
My analysis seems to rule out any obvious form of failure and indicates instead that perhaps the observed effects may have been of a deliberate nature.



I can accept this was a rocket test and the conclusion that it wasn't necessarily a failure but what caused the visible phenomena - is the blue trail supposed to be exhaust and the white spiral fuel ?

Insufficient information but there is a definite and immediate state of change occuring from the exhaust plume colour and structure to the blue spiral colour and structure.



Have other missiles of the same type left the same colour trail or is this some new propulsion system that reacted with the atmosphere in some EM fashion to provide an aurora type effect ?

I'm not aware of any previous missile test that came even close to producing these observed effects.
My personal guess based on my conclusions is that we may have seen the testing of a new type of propulsion and/or weapon system.



If it was indeed an anti-missile test as suggested by another poster what are we seeing in the spiral as it doesn't look as if it is a "physical" shield ?

Again, very difficult to speculate without knowing if some kind of new technology was involved.



The observation is that the pictures from Skjervoy and Tromso, when compared with the view from space, seem to show that the "spiral event" was much closer to Skjervoy than the analysis indicates.

This could be a function of perspective, picture cropping or camera zoom but to my untrained eye isn't the difference in "size" of the event in the pictures from the two places too pronounced if it took place at the indicated lcoation ?

Sorry about the confusion ... the space view of the spiral event was not meant to be very accurate but the intention was simply to give some kind of "feel" for what the event may have looked like from above the atmosphere.
My research and conclusions indicated that a substantial part of the final spiral event took place outside of the atmosphere ... which prompted me to quickly throw that last image together.
