SpaceMETA , how are you going to get to the Moon?

How are you going to get to the Moon?

Well, Its more easy to answer this question in a opposition way: How we will NOT go to the Moon.

We will not go to the Moon like Apollo 11 mission. It means, we wanna really innovate. Apollo 11 was done, nobody needs to proof it again. If we don't find a new-new way to be there, we will not do it. Its why we choose to use Engines based on Ethanol for our rockets: to think different.

In a objective way , we have decided to go to the Moon , or any other N E Z ( Near Earth Zone ) , building new blocks from the zero level , with a goal to really keep it simple and bringing space exploration to a commodity level ( without loose the glamour involved ), so it will be accessible to the normal citizens of the world and small companies that have good ideas or can create small consorciuns to space explorations.

Primarily we will use BioFuels in our projects. We are estimating that the combustion of our Ethanol/H2O2 can release as a rest , some thing between 60-80% of water and less than 20% of CO2. This is quite different of the conventional space-fuels, that create pollution even on the Moon in its micro atmosphere.

We also will NOT launch light payloads from the ground level. Brasil have fantastic launchpad bases , near 2 degree  from the Equator. We will lift our veicles using what we call ELEVATOR/SCALATOR. The name is just a premonition for the future , so we decided to adopt it from now. It can be a Balloon , a Big Jet, a small rocket that launch other rocket,

etc. In the future it will be a complex structure that will not create pollution , explosion , or other pyrotechnical low scientific process , like ones used actually. May be Asimov was right. It will be an String Elevator …

In praticall terms , our Ethanol rocket is working very well , and the static-in-house tests have delivered now , 500 Newtons of power per module.

The final configuration will be a new kind of clusters of our basic rocket modules.

We are spending a big amount of time innovating a new Moon landing process. Our primary goals is to don't use any kind of fuel to desacelerate there.  and people from INTEL is helping us in the process of simulations on it because of the massive processing requirement for the possible bouncing conditions planned to arrive there. One of our design , consider to land on the dark-side of the Moon, due to the low temperature and an easy way to create a superconductor platform to electromagnetic breaks there. The science of material is one of the key factor here and also this will be by the first time that a Lunar Mission is considering to use AeroGel as part of the structure for a Lunar Module.
