Everyone is shocked by the recent actions of Russia in Europe.
The whole world is terrifying and appalled that there might be another world war.
With Twitter trending with topics like “World War-III” and “Russia Vs Ukraine”, comes
Elon musk to rescue them!
Elon musk has an insane plan to beat Russia.
But what is this insane plan to beat Russia?
Watch the video till the end to find out!
Elon Musk recently tagged the president of Russia and hilariously tweeted “would you
like to join me for a conversation on Clubhouse?”
Also, Musk has just unveiled a terrifying air defense amidst all this.
SpaceX, a company founded by Elon Musk himself, is the leading private space exploration company.
The company will be collaborating with the United States Air force on a massive air defense
project expected to cost 102 million Dollars.
The project is unique and far beyond what anyone in the world has witnessed and ever
imagined!
SpaceX was founded in 2002 by Elon Musk to reduce space transportation costs to enable
the colonization of Mars.
It designs and builds space rockets and has been awarded a contract worth more than 102
million dollars by the US air force.
The contract will mainly focus on the transportation of military cargo and humanitarian aid around
the globe.
Some resources claim that the contract is among the many, including the air force rocket
cargo project that involves using rockets for global logistics for the department of
defense.
Currently, it is unknown as to which spacecraft will be used by SpaceX for the rocket cargo
program.
The program manager of the rocket cargo program Greg Spanjers said that the department of
defense would be interested in being able to ship cargo to every corner of the planet
to support humanitarian assistance.
According to Spanjers, the air force will collect the environmental data needed for
the program by monitoring SpaceX’s launches and landings.
Spanjers also confirmed that most disaster areas don’t have commercial spaceports nearby.
He also added that the air force is looking at a wide range of options for rural landings.
The contract states that SpaceX will be obligated to demonstrate the technology needed and the
capabilities for transporting military cargo, humanitarian aid, and other commodities around
the world on a heavy rocket.
This contract is referenced as point-to-point transport to move a payload from one point
on the planet earth to another.
This will be the largest rocket cargo of its kind that has ever been offered.
This relationship has to do with the fact that the Pentagon is very interested in the
capability of sending cargo and humanitarian aid anywhere on earth.
Spanjers proclaimed that commercial vendors have envisioned fixed point-to-point transportation
to already established sites.
He says it is a commercial service they would be willing to procure once it becomes available.
Spanjers added that although SpaceX is the first company to work on this contract, the
air force intends to work with other aerospace manufacturers as part of this program.
In the previous year, rocket vanguards were released.
It is a project that studied plans on how to transport 100 tons of cargo to any point
on the planet using rockets.
However, this contract does not specify which of SpaceX’s launch vehicles will be used
to transport these goods.
This arrangement will allow the air force research laboratory the ability to view and
access data for all SpaceX’s launches and booster landings to select and evaluate what
vehicle would be suitable for the job at hand.
SpaceX has been flying reusable rockets for years, and it also has a heavy-lift rocket
equipped with reusable boosters.
This booster is called falcon heavy.
Falcon Heavy is the most powerful operational rocket in the world by a factor of two.
With the ability to lift into orbit nearly 64 metric tons (141,000 lb.) Falcon Heavy
can lift more than twice the payload of the next closest operational vehicle, the Delta
IV Heavy.
Falcon Heavy is composed of three Falcon 9 nine-engine cores whose 27 Merlin engines
together generate more than 5 million pounds of thrust at liftoff, equal to approximately
eighteen 747 aircraft.
It has the starship system and is developing a reusable booster system called the super
heavy, which will launch 100 metric tons into earth’s orbit.
Musk believes that the ability to travel point to point around the earth will be among the
capabilities of that rocket.
Space News reported that the air force research laboratory will call upon SpaceX to demonstrate
heavy cargo transport and landing capabilities as part of the new contract.
There seems to be no specified timeline as to when such a demonstration will occur.
Spanjers in an interview with the space news said that the air force research laboratory
will leverage several commercial demonstration launches to collect data over the next few
years.
He also mentioned that the air force will collect data whenever SpaceX flies relevant
missions instead of driving the schedule.
The contract also specifies that SpaceX will design cargo bays specifically for the project.
These cargo bays will be designed for rapid loading and unloading and would be fit inside
intermodal containers owned by the US transportation command.
The contract also extends to disaster relief and the delivery of humanitarian aid, in addition
to providing cargo and supplies for the US military.
Despite all of these, we are still unsure as to when we’ll get to see the first demonstration
flight from SpaceX.
Spanjers has said that other launch providers may be awarded similar contracts in the future.
Spanjers also pointed out that a significant heavy cargo from the earth’s orbit has not
been attempted before, and it will fully stress the commercial thermal protection system’s
landing propulsion and landing legs.
This isn’t the first time SpaceX is working with the United States government and it probably
won’t be the last one!
SpaceX has made a special request to the federal communications commission as it prepares to
further demonstrate what Starlink can do In the US air force.
In a filing, the company wrote to the SEC that it wants to make minor modifications
to its experimental authorization for additional test activities undertaken with the federal
government.
SpaceX has once again proclaimed that the test will demonstrate that data can be transmitted
and received from one or two static ground sites and two or more airborne aircraft at
a single location.
Another one of its tests will be conducted in a moving vehicle at the same location.
SpaceX’s Starlink project is where the main focus of the company is.
Using advanced satellites in a low orbit, Starlink enables video calls, online gaming,
streaming, and other high data rate activities that historically have not been possible with
satellite internet.
Users can expect to see download speeds between 100 Mb/s and 200 Mb/s and latency as low as
20ms in most locations.
It plans to use thousands of satellites called a constellation in the space industry to establish
an interconnected internet network and deliver internet service to existing and potential
customers.
SpaceX has also announced that they have partnered with Ball Aerospace, an American manufacturer
of spacecraft, components, and instruments for national defense, civil space, and commercial
space applications.
The company is expected to provide all the antennas necessary to connect Starlink satellites
to an aircraft.
In August, Ball Aerospace was awarded a 9.7 million dollar contract for the DEUCSI program.
The U.S Air Force and U.S army, through the innovative Defense Experimentation Using Commercial
Space Internet (DEUCSI) program, are evaluating the ability of Isotropic Systems’ optical
beamforming antenna to enable frontline armed forces to access high-speed, real-time data
simultaneously over multiple commercial and military satellites.
The DEUCSI programs aim to capitalize on commercial low earth orbit satellite constellations to
help military internet tactical networking.
Military communications have always been on the lookout for a long-distance exchange of
voice, video, and data between geographically dispersed elements of a battle force.
In recent times, the military has been extremely dependent on satellites for a high data rate
transmission of data beyond the line of sight communications for situational awareness.
For years, the Pentagon has been on the lookout for long-distance live streaming via drones
for military purposes and collaboration between SpaceX and the air force Research laboratory
can solve these problems.
As of now, there have been no reports as to when these tests will be carried out.
However, SpaceX has said that they will be needing around 4-6 months.
As the war progresses and the world gears up for what might be world war III, Musk’s
invention would prove to be very useful as the United States Air force would not be easily
knocked out in a fight.
People going against the company would have to knock out the satellites with another rocket
or they would have to do some next-level hacking to disrupt the transfer of information.
These attacks might be possible soon with the nuclear war overhead.
However, we will have to wait and see how Elon Musk and co handle the future problems.
