“A Piece of the Action”

IVO, the small US electronics company based in North Dakota, which created a non-rocket-based “quantum space drive” and launched it into a low Earth orbit last November 11, 2023, has apparently … finally–

Turned it on.

And, its “host spacecraft” — Barry-1 — has (according to the latest NORAD and NASA tracking data) STOPPED its steady, three-plus month descending orbit … and is now ASCENDING higher above Earth–

Without ANY “conventional rocket engines” on board!!

As I’ve been saying now for MONTHS–

“If this real-time orbital test of an actual ‘Hyperdimensional Space Drive’ actually works … it changes EVERYTHING!”

To learn just “how” … join us, tonight.

Ron

Ron Gerbron

Member of the Enterprise Mission Imaging Team

Ron is a proudly uncredentialed polymath with a deep interest in the study of archeology, especially Martian archeology. Ron was raised on a farm in Pennsylvania collecting arrowheads as a child.  He found the programmatic aspect of education too limiting after attending a famous Quaker school in PA. Ahead of his studies and his time, he attempted to contort himself into attending college; before he gave up on academia and left to travel overseas. Throughout all this time, he has focused his core attention on the metrology of our paleo history, particularly on other planets, and especially Mars.

Holger Isenberg

Website: areo.info

Holger has done system operation and consulting around Java-based enterprise applications since 1999 in Germany and moved in 2016 to Silicon Valley, now solving customer problems at a company specialized on providing high performance Java VMs. In his spare time he is applying software engineering skills on public data provided by Mars spaceflight missions.

With working on data provided by Mars missions as an independent researcher, he investigated Martian mysteries since the 1997 Pathfinder landing mission. Since then offered public software services and tools followed, like true color photo browsers over the Pathfinder and Spirit & Opportunity missions or space mission raw image converters. Data archeology on historic Viking Lander camera tapes was also one project. It is difficult to convince him about other sky colors of Mars than human-friendly blue.

Since the 2012 Curiosity landing, he has been an active participant on Mars Society conventions with posters and talks and in addition a member of the local group in Mountain View, California. Aside from spaceflight technology, traveling to ancient sites is one of his interests and wondering about ancient engineering achievements in Egypt and South America. In 2005 he acquired at the University Dortmund, the German Diploma in Computer Science and secondary topic Electrical Engineering.

Ruggero A Calo

Ruggero (Pronounced Rujiero), is of Italian- English descent. From his native London, he later moved to the South Coast (Jurassic Coast) of England where he lives and works. Ruggero graduated from ‘The University of Southampton’ School of Health Professions Science in 2004 with a BSc Honors degree in Podiatric medicine. In his working professional life, he undertakes all aspects of general practice with a special interest in Human movement and musculoskeletal medicine including gait re-education and orthotic prescription.

Ruggero is a keen athlete having represented his locality in sprint running for the 100, 200 and 400m, was a youth county swimming champion and went on to race with and coach the university team. Along with this Ruggero is an accomplished swimming instructor having taught all levels and everyone from youth nonswimmers to adults with physical and learning difficulties. He also holds a second-degree blackbelt and teaching qualification in the Natural Way Karate (Shizenryu) specializing in contact reflexes and practicing martial art in the ancient and traditional form as held preserved secretly by the Chinese Buddhist monks. As well as his day work, Ruggero has published his first music album in 2017 and is recording his second piece of work for release this 2021. He has performed at large and small UK music festivals with his career highlight supporting one of his favorite ‘Grammy’ award-winning Reggae Artists on an acoustic tour in the UK. When not in working practice you can find Ruggero undertaking his passion of surfing and skating at many of the reef-breaks or skateparks in his beloved home of the SouthWest Coastal region of the United Kingdom.

Holgers Items:

 

1. Live telemetry shown by JAXA during landing of SLIM. Nominal except for the unexpected attitude after touchdown in the last image. A tilt by 90° was expected due to the footpads placed on the side, but this looks like being upside down.

The Japanese SLIM Lunar Lander was planned to tilt to one side on landing, but whether into this position I don't know. Normal ground contact was signaled by the MLM letters in the last telemetry screenshot.

2. SLIM radio signal recording on Earth by DF3LZ showing the doppler shift due to the spacecraft’s changes in motion. White text and markings are my interpretations of synchronizing it with the live landing video UTC times.

SLIM radio signal recording on Earth by DF3LZ. Red markings are my interpretations of the lander’s speed relative to the ground based on doppler shift of the original radio signal frequency. From 15:00 to 15:15 it ascended from 15 km to 25 km (16 miles) altitude and then descended to touchdown at 15:20 UTC with some final tumbling afterwards for 10 minutes. Original graph: https://twitter.com/DF3LZ/status/1748384696071786829

 

 

3. Radio signal recording at 16:32 UTC, long after the touchdown at 15:20 UTC. The wiggle line is most likely caused by doppler shift and I’m interpreting it as the thrusters being activated again on the ground to try to tumble it over.

6.  Japan’s Akatsuki spacecraft failed in a similar way by losing one engine nozzle of the same design during orbit insertion to Venus in 2015. Their Nozomi Mars probe failed due to solar flare damage in 2002 during Earth flyby. Japan’s most significant success in open space were the 2005 Hayabusa mission returning samples from asteroid 25143 Itokawa and the 2020 Hayabusa 2 mission returning samples from asteroid Ryugu.
Hayabusa (はやぶさ) means Peregrine Falcon!

The loss of the nozzle on one engine of SLIM has a parallel with another Japanese spacecraft – Akatsuki suffered a near identical failure during Venus orbit insertion. And it was blamed on a leaky valve delivering a propellent mixture that was oxidizer rich.
