Injecting higher payload into orbit - concept variation 3

 References : https://newagespace60.blogspot.com/2024/08/injecting-higher-payload-mass-with.html https://newagespace60.blogspot.com/2024/08/injecting-higher-payload-mass-with.html Another variation of the concept - Everything remains same as the Solid motor propelled trolley concept, but instead of hyperloop we would use air bearings..... air / fluid to be supplied by chemical propulsion taking place in solid rockets...... Till the time boosters fire, trolley along with remaining LV and payload would remain afloat...... मुझे कौन पूछता था तेरी बंदगी से पहले  Hare Ram Hare Krishna Jai Hind

Injecting higher payload mass with hugher envelope to orbits

 In continuation with the concept proposed in https://newagespace60.blogspot.com/2024/08/launching-higher-payloads-to-orbit.html Some variation of the concept in order Elements of the conceptual design- 1) A rigid elevated platform such as a mountain or a hill 2) An enclosure with vacuum conditions inside so that high relative velocities can be achieved before breaking the sound barrier 3) A trolley with hyperloop type maglev technology which houses the remaining LV and payload in it's enclosure (if needed) 4) Two Solid boosters which would accelerate the trolley inside the enclosure till the length of the enclosure 5) Magnetic brakes on trolley to decelerate it after release of LV or it can be also shot off the track in projectile motion and can come down on parachutes The illustrations remain same as the mentioned blog (at the start of the post) मुझे कौन पूछता था तेरी बंदगी से पहले  Hare Ram Hare Krishna 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Launching higher payloads to orbit- a concept

Image
I was listening to ISRO chairman sir speak about how one of the great difficulties in occupying space and other planets is the payload mass that LVs of present day can carry. So I started to wonder could it be possible to assist the current day launches, say a space tug (not likely), an elevator (difficult), what about the new tech such as spin launch system (limited by mass that can be sent up)...... so can there be something else better?? A concept in order- Following elements of the concept- 1) A rigid elevated platform such as a mountain peak or a high hill which would reduce the air resistance for a projectile being shot at 1-2 kmps 2) A hyperloop based propulsion system that houses a trolley which supports the launch vechicle (for remaining velocity addition) and the payload. To be electrically powered 3) A long track meant to fecilitate enough velocity while keeping acceleration within design limits. The track shall guide and support the launch vehicle.  4) An enclosure whic...
