Overview
Imagine flying high above the Earth, seeing every
continent, every ocean, the curve of the Earth, the Moon and the stars without
obstruction.
Imagine floating and moving around effortlessly...
Imagine that one day you would be able to next day emergency ship a key
component for your corporation or small business from across the world. Perhaps
you travel between New York City and Tokyo or other long routes where typical
flights are over 16 hours in length. Now consider getting there in under
three.
Maybe your business would like to launch a satellite but cannot afford cost of
building a 100% reliable satellite due to the high launch costs. Now however,
you can launch a new type of satellite: one that is easily maintained, costs
perhaps hundreds of million dollars less, can be upgraded, or entire modules
added all as soon as your satellite is produced with a tremendous savings. This
is the promise of Cerulean Freight Forwarding Company an Advanced Transportation
corporation for the 21st Century.
Cerulean Freight Forwarding Company (CFFC) was incorporated in the State of
Washington on April 19, 1999 for the purpose of creating a vehicle that can meet
needs to procreate and sustain human activity in space.
The first step is to develop a prototypical vehicle that can attain significant
advances in current spacecraft construction techniques and to demonstrate
several key components for an orbital craft.
As with any rocket based system, engines are the most critical design feature
that we require to meet our most basic objectives. But just as Werner Von Braun
learned from Robert Goddard in the 1930s and 1940s by knowing something can be
accomplished, so shall we accomplish the feat of producing reusable lightweight
rocket engine capable of producing several thousand pounds of thrust. We have
the advantage, however, of learning from decades of rocket tests and well
published results.
The next great challenge is that of the landing gear. Current hydraulic landing gear increases in mass dramatically as the mass of the craft increases. Thus we need to create an alternative to hydraulic landing gear or keep the craft extremely light. With any rocket system, we are looking at carrying 9 times more fuel in weight than all other weights of the craft combined. But we have to also recognize that upon landing a major portion of that weight will have disappeared after being consumed in flight. Therefore, we look to methods such as midair refueling, drop rockets, or extremely light and strong materials for the craft structure.
In our analysis we have discovered the remarkable strength of Styrofoam and its ability to be coated by a boron nitride seal. Further, we have developed unique means to construct, maintain, and launch a small yet capable prototype suitable of the designation The Good Ship (TGS) Kitten.
The Kitten is the first step into a frontier we have yet to tame.
