How to get to Jupiter orbiter in 1 year?

From Pinterest

The Pioneer 10 flew to Jupiter in about a year. The Galileo probe used almost 2000 days for that journey. And the reason for that was simple. The Galileo probe was the orbital mission. And it should slow down its speed for reaching the orbiter.

The total flight time of the Galileo probe was more than six years. The reason for that is simple. Galileo's flight time to Jupiter was announced from the last gravitational assists.

While it made its mission, the Galileo probe made two gravitational assist flybys with Earth and one with Venus. As I wrote before. But is it possible to send the orbital probe to Jupiter or other planets in less than two years? There are two theoretical ways to make that thing.

1) Main craft makes the flyby and sends the parasite probes to orbital trajectory.

Sometimes is introduced an idea of an interplanetary or even interstellar mission is a combination of the flyby and orbital missions. The system includes two types of probes. The main probe would fly through the solar system at a very high speed. And its parasite- or sub-probes will send to orbital trajectories.

The idea is introduced in the "Daedalus" plan. The plan was to create a massive, unmanned probe that makes flyby of the planets or other stars. And during that flyby, it sends its smaller sub-probes that use ion or nuclear engines to slow down. In that version, the smaller probe uses nuclear thermal propulsion or some other power system, to decrease its speed to a level where it can reach the orbital trajectory.

2) The other craft will dock to the main mission unit during the gravitational assist maneuver.

This idea is a little bit more conventional than "Daedalus". The idea is to use a similar mission profile to the "Galileo probe". The larger craft will put to make gravitational assist flybys to Earth and Venus. Then the smaller probe will drive at the front of the craft. And then the larger device that is loaded with gravitational energy will drive to catch up with the smaller probe.

The larger probe can fly between the Earth and Venus for many years. And then the other probe will dock to it. The reason, why the Galileo probe didn't use the sun as a gravitational sling. Is that the connection between the probe and mission control is cut. When it's on another side of the sun. But the modern artificial intelligence makes it possible that the probe can find Earth independently and re-establish a connection.

If we would use that gravitational sling with manned space missions. There is a problem that the crew must wait on Earth for a very long time before their docking capsule will launch.

When we are talking about the long-term space missions the crews are extremely well selected. Their social relations are the key element for mission success. And if one of those members will injure by accident that would be a catastrophe.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering.

Terrifying visions of genetic engineering. The modern Hounds of Baskerville ABW:s (Advanced biological weapons are the modern Hounds of Baskerville. The term ABV means the animal which is genetically engineered. And which is controlled by using some interactive electronic systems. There is a possibility to connect the action camera to dogs collars. And transmit commands to that animal by using electronic systems. Spoken words can use to the commands. Or they can be a series of sounds that are stored in the sound files. When the operator activates a certain file that sound means a certain command to the animals. There is the possibility to automatize some commands by connecting the system to the image recognition tool. When the action camera sees something that is stored in the memory of the computer. That system sends the coded order to the animal. Nanotechnology and genetic engineering are the most lethal combination in the world. The ABW:s (Advanced Biological ...

The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta"

Image I The story of (Northrop?) TR3A "Black Manta" Sometimes there have been discussions that the mysterious TR3A "Black Manta" was a study project for the B-2 bomber. That means that TR3A was used as the flying mockup for testing the aerodynamic and control solutions for the B-2 "Spirit" bomber. The thing that supports this thing is that the manufacturer of both planes is Northrop corporation. Along with "Aurora" was flying one other mysterious aircraft, TR3A "Black Manta". The system is described as the "Stealth VTOL" (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) aircraft. Unless the mysterious TR3B, the Northrop TR3A is the conventional VTOL-aircraft, what is using regular jet engines, but what has the stealth-body. Image II The thing is that the stealth-reconnaissance aircraft, which uses a similar technology with the Northrop B-2 bomber would be an interesting part of the weapon arsenal. There is a possibility that the TR3A was...
