Today, the Credonian Space Agency released the first pictures of its Convoy Space Shuttle along with its Shuttle Carrier Aircraft. This spacecraft will be used by CSA and nations that work with the CSA/Credonian Government. Any comments regarding this spacecraft are welcome.

OOC:*Rubs eyes* wow a normal shuttle, i have'nt seen one of those in awhile. Good luck with your program, hope it's luckier than the real one..

OOC: Thanks, we believe that this is the first step into the future of spaceflight for our nation, and with the help of the other nations that have offered to enter into joint ventures with us, we shall surely press forward with staggaring success.

Our government would like to send a group of three men who could join your mission. We would pay you 933.000.000.000 warringtons (goldanian currency)

OOC: Just don't stagger to much :lol: , might drop something fragile

Our government would like to send a group of three men who could join your mission. We would pay you 933.000.000.000 warringtons (goldanian currency)

Send the Credonian government a private telegram as to why you would like to join our mission, and maybe a joint space venture could be set up between our nations to make way for any future cooperations

Credonia I have come to know as a credible source of materials and it looks like they are doing it again. I would like to make an investment in this project. Please tell me what would be appropriot to advance the timetable of the results.

OOC: Did you make that model yourself? If so, what program did you use? It's nice. I like it.

OOC: I actual am the head director of a NASA backed virtual space agency called the Virtual United States Space Program or (VUSSP) (we have proof of it if you want to see it hehe, just drop me a private telegram ;-)). The Convoy design wasnt my design totally, actually for the most part it wasnt my design, we are in a commercial partnership with an aircraft design company that is funded by the University of Michigan. They made the design for the VUSSP with assistance from myself and my senior staff. We used a program called Flight Simulator Design Studio, however, the model is also being made with a program called Anim8tor for the main program we use to conduct realistic spaceflight operations.

Give me a day to get that information to you, im not totally sure as of yet as it is still being finalized. (for the VUSSP we wont have the actual finished program model for a couple months, its been in development for a few months itself lol, thats how complex it it, and it can really be used in real life, we may run the design by NASA if it works for us correctly). As for Credonia, the spacecraft may be able to launch sometime next week, but as i said, we will let you know what is needed to advance the schedule. Thank you for your interest in the Credonia Convoy/VUSSP SPECTRE-Convoy Project

if you have read http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=85103&start=20 The Republic of Evopia was wondering if your Shuttle had the Capabilities to Dock in our Space Station(EVE OF DOOM :twisted: )
if so The Republic would like to enquire into a joint Space Venture

All CURRENT and FUTURE Credonian spacecraft will be capable of docking so long as the space station has a "universal" docking system. We look forward to setting up a joint space venture with your nation. Telegram us the information as to what you had in mind. We hope to hear from you soon.

I still dont get the actually energy transfer mechanism from the uranium gas core to the hydrogen propelant. How is the hydrogen actually heated.

This gas core reactor if you combine it with a highenergy rankine cycle magneto - plasma dynamic electrical conversion cell could provide the power necesary to run one of our megneto-plasma rockets. Scientist are working out a fusion afterburning technique but the only thing keeping the rocket on the ground is a reliable lightweight longterm energy source within the .5-1.2 gigawatt range needed to produce, heat and accelerate the magneto-plasma.

maybe you can help

Take a look at this site http://www.motisvirtualjetdesign.com/CONVOY.htm The VUSSP and its partner has been looking into this kind of research. Hopefully the information on there will show you and describe to you how the system would work. There are also pictures and links to other sites that you can check out. Its a bit complex to explain on here, which is why im directing you there.

Buncha antiques... The Five Civilized Nations will provide US$50 billion to help Credonia along in its space program...
