Japanese company “Sapporo Breweries” has produced “space beer“. Sapporo Holdings is one of Japan’s largest makers alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, including beer.
The beer is made from barley grown in space. The barley was grown on the International Space Station as part of a five-month experiment carried out by Sapporo, the Russian Academy of Science and Okayama University. The main objective of this experiment was to reveal if the station could provide itself with food.
At the moment we carry on negotiations with Interorbital Systems (IOS) on the subject of sending of our picture catalogue into space. Interorbital Systems (IOS), a rocket and spacecraft manufacturing company is ready to send our photo catalogue to the orbit in December of 2010.
Planet Earth has entered the age of the Personal Satellite with the introduction of Interorbital’s TubeSat Personal Satellite (PS) Kit. It offers plenty of room for most experiments or applications. TubeSats are placed into self-decaying orbits 310 kilometers (192 miles) above the Earth’s surface. After operating for a few months (the exact length of time on orbit is dependent on solar activity), they will safely re-enter the atmosphere and burn-up. TubeSats are designed to be orbit-friendly. The launch is expected to begin in December of 2010.
We decided to cooperate with this company as the TubeSat also allows adding not only the photo catalogue but our own experiment to the basic TubeSat Kit. Examples of add-on experiments or applications include the following:
Interorbital Systems (IOS), a rocket and spacecraft manufacturing company, was founded in 1996. The company has been engaged primarily in research and development since its formation, although it has performed numerous outside aerospace contracts. These projects include Dick Rutan’s Global Hilton Balloon Project; the South Texas Spaceport Feasibility Study and Analysis; special rocket visual and sound effects work for French Television, Warner Brothers and Universal Pictures. IOS has provided these organizations with aerospace hardware, study data, market information, and hardware demonstrations.
Interorbital Systems (IOS) is located at the Mojave Airport and Spaceport in Mojave, California The company carries out its operations at facilities consisting of a 6,000-square-foot office and manufacturing center, and two private rocket engine test sites.
Virgin Galactic has released the final design of the launch system that will take fare-paying passengers into space. It is based on the X-Prize-winning SpaceShipOne concept – a rocket ship that is lifted initially by a carrier plane before blasting skywards. The Virgin system is essentially a refinement, but has been increased in size to take eight people at a time on a sub-orbital trip, starting in 2010.
Virgin boss Sir Richard Branson said the space tourism business had huge potential. “I think it’s very important that we make a genuine commercial success of this project,” he told a news conference in New York. “If we do, I believe we’ll unlock a wall of private sector money into both space launch systems and space technology. This could rival the scale of investment in the mobile phone and internet technologies after they were unlocked from their military origins and thrown open to the private sector.”
The Sun is an important & most permanent object in our solar system. Sun is the largest planet known to scientist in outer space and contains about 98% of the whole solar system mass. Just imagine and compare: in order to fit across the Sun’s disk with Earths, you will need 109 Earth planets. The Sun’s interior could contain nearly 1.3 million of Earth planets. The photosphere’s temperature is 6,000°C (11,000°F). The photosphere is the Sun’s outer visible layer. The layer has a spotty appearance according to the turbulent eruptions of energy at its surface.
Selecting a gift for men is sometimes an extremely difficult process, especially when He “has everything”. But at the same time it is very amusing. Millions of wives, girl-friends, sisters, daughters and grand-daughters spend days, months, weeks and even months shopping for a unique gift for him & looking for something special .
