Elon Musk’s Next Venture: ‘Hyperloop’ Test Track In Texas

January 16, 2015 By Denise Ehrlich

Elon Musk is a busy man: Tesla lately disclosed the all-wheel-drive Model S with auto pilot, SpaceX just crash-landed its Falcon 9 rocket, and the billionaire this week affirmed more plans for an excursion to Mars.

So its not astonishing that Musk’s plans for a $6 billion Hyperloop giving high speed journey between US cities has been put on the backburner.

Until Thursday, that is, when the entrepreneur tweeted about a Hyperloop test track “for organizations and student groups to test out their pods.” The course will probably be developed in Texas.

“Also, considering of having an annual student Hyperloop pod racer contest, akin to Formula SAE,” Musk said.

The Hyperloop stood out as truly newsworthy in August, when Musk depicted a framework whereby travelers would be transported at top velocities through tubes developed above or beneath the ground.

Preferably, this Hyperloop could move 840 travelers every hour and connect cities less than 900 miles apart — San Francisco to Los Angeles, maybe; or loops between Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC. It would most likely cost about $1.35 million every traveler capsule, or $6 billion altogether, Musk said a year ago.

While Hyperloop features are worked out, in the meantime, Musk is turning his attention to artificial intelligence.

The Tesla and SpaceX’s founder has given $10 million to the Future of Life Institute to run a worldwide AI research agenda, supported by a long rundown of driving AI examiners, including the leader of Facebook’s AI Laboratory, Google scientists, and IBM Watson Group representatives.

The program will be managed by the non-profit Future of Life Institute; research will be carried out all over the globe, with trusts of awarding funds to AI analysts and related research including economics, law, ethic, and policy.

The moves comes after Musk said in October that artificial intelligence is “calling the devil.”

“I’m progressively prone to think there must be some administrative oversight, possibly at the national and global level,” Musk said amid the MIT Aeronautics and Astronautics Department’s 2014 Centennial Symposium. “Just to verify that we don’t do something extremely stupid.”

SpaceX Falcon 9 Will Now Lift Off On Friday After Technical Fault Delay

January 7, 2015 By Marlene R. Litten

Space X Falcon 9 Rocket

The launch of SpaceX’s Falcon 9 rocket has been postponed till Friday.  The supply flight of reusable rocket is delayed due to a defect in rocket.

Falcon 9 is the fifth cargo supply mission of Space X. It is a two stage rocket which is especially designed to send satellites and Dragon spacecrafts to the International Space Station. Space X has especially manufactured this reusable rocket.

The two phases of Falcon 9 would minimize the need of different events as it can easily accomplish its mission with one engine. The rocket can effortlessly carry a large amount of payload and can deliver it to the space.

Earlier, the company intended to lift off the Falcon 9 rocket on Tuesday at 6:20 a.m. Fortunately, the engineers of Space X identified a problem in the engine of the rocket at last minute otherwise the problem would have blasted off the rocket. As per the press release of NASA, the authorities took decision when 21 seconds were remaining in the launch.

The problem is discovered in the “thrust vector control” system. The scientists observed that the vector control system was “behaving in a different way”.

George Diller, commentator of NASA informs that the launch team detected some kind of problem in the actuator drift. The issue was affecting the second stage rocket engine thrust.

The space transport company would probably launch the spacecraft on Friday at 1009 GMT. The rocket will launch from the Cape Canaveral Air Force Station which is situated in Florida.

Florida’s Space Coast Is Envisioning An Occupied 2015

Florida’s Cape Canaveral Air Force Station is envisioning an occupied year ahead. Various rocket launches and other ventures are planned all through the year, Florida Today reported on Sunday.

Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX) aims to commence the year on Tuesday with an early morning freight launch to the International Space Station. The previous spring, the organization won a 20-year lease of a mothballed NASA launch pad. The organization told the newspaper that it intends to end outfitting the pad by midyear so it can help launches of its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets.

Space coast also aimed to overhaul the two ex-shuttle hangars at Kennedy Space Center to house an emit Air force space plane project moving from California this year. The Air force is anticipated to carry out a 4th launch of its unmanned X-37v Orbital Test Vehicle this from Cape Canaveral this year. As many as 24 rocket launches are planned for the current year from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the Air Force said. 16 rockets were launched from the station in 2014.

Moreover, United Launch Alliance will begin structuring a team access tower close to a launch pad, where Atlas V rockets will launch Boeing’s CST-100 capsule.

Space Florida lately declared arrangements for an anonymous commercial space organization to take up residence at one of two state-run pads. Joined state and organization investment at the site is anticipated to total $34 million in excess of 5 years and add 100 jobs.

After almost eighteen months of negotiation, NASA and Space Florida are nearing a contract for the state to get the control of Kennedy Space Center’s three-mile shuttle runway.

“It truly is the attraction of Florida’s next generation commercial spaceport,” said Space Florida CEO and President Frank Dibello.

Space Florida plans to draw business operations to the runway going from drones to a suborbital space plane XCOR Aerospace is on the rise for space voyagers.

Swiss Space Systems could arrive late this year with an Airbus jet that will fly symbolic arcs to render clients and researchers to brief periods of weightlessness.

Also Moon Express, a California startup creating a little robotic moon lander that is a nominee to win the Google Lunar XPRIZE, will return soon to proceed with flight tests started a year ago at the runway.
