Profile Information
I am a Professor of Aerospace Engineering Sciences at the University of Colorado at Boulder. My research was on thermofluidmechanics often applied to materials processing. I have been teaching aerospace materials and composite materials for some time; recently I added a course on space energy systems, covering especially the 3 main aerospace systems: photovoltaics, solar thermal systems, and hydrogen and fuel cells. My favorite course is the senior design course which is driven by a systems engineering approach to a requirements based project. projects are handled by student teams of 6-10 members. You can evaluate the quality of the program by going to our website at: http://www.colorado.edu/ASEN/SrProjects/
I am taken over the leadership next Fall. My goal is to offer the students real-world projects in collaboration with industry. In case you are interested to consider working with students for 2 semesters (an excellent and cost-effective remote internship) I would like to hear from you. Thank you. Jean

AES Senior Design
I have started a professional network for our aerospace engineering students at the University of Colorado. The purpose is to openly discuss their senior design projects with alumni and friends of AES. For IASE members it may be of interest to follow our rigorous senior design program and to link up with our students if you are looking for specific skills in your company. And if you are interested more closely in a specific project, I would love to hear from you.

Tasha9503 is tomorrow, designed with 1995 technology.
As this moon race continues I would like to ask every one to help us build these transport vehicles to take several crews to the Moon, Mars, beyond and back.
I will not suggest any human leave the protection of this infrastructure after passing the Van Allan Belt, but you can enter any orbit around our sun.
It is a new rocket design that produces little space junk.
Use the six robotic arms to collect space junk in preparation for mining the Asteroid Belt.
Tasha9503 will be owned buy the people, initially used as HotelsInSpace, resorts.
People in China, Brazil, Argentina, Etc. Congo, Guinea, Namibia, etc. Sahara, Tunisia, USA, Antarctica, Canada, etc. will soon be able to own the infrastructure in orbit.
The day we collect rent we will no longer be for sale.
In 1988 we started looking for all the reasons we can not move to space.
7 years we collected the sciences that say we can.
This infrastructure includes five levels of artificial gravity to remove the physical degeneration that prolonged exposure to zero-g brings.
It is a place for our children to live if an asteroid or a commit etc, hits earth or global warming makes Earth uninhabitable by humans.
Launch costs, oxygen and water purification, food and sewage, Maintenance, Reproduction.
We found the solutions to all the stoppers and slow me downs and lowered the cost.
We still ask the world why they think we can not build these HotelsInSpace if funds were available?
If we can pass the Van Allan Belt, we can pass the Moon, Mars and beyond.
Each HotelsInSpace includes 12 staff units, 72 units with sleeping for three for rent, six cafeterias, six separate zero gravity sections, gardens to feed 36 people, internet connection to the world and access to the entire HotelsInSpace.
This is the place where many people can try ZeroGravitySex.
Depending on other’s transportation facilities, we feel any time under one week per year will not be usable, unused time accumulates.
Owning one week in one hotel unit means when we have 52 hotels you own 52 weeks.
In 2009 we showed the world our answers to why we can go.
Re design the HLV.
Lift 1,000,000 lbs of pre shaped HLV.
Re use the casings fuel tanks and software in orbit as infrastructure.
Lift six satellite payloads per launch, sharing the launch cost.
Land a 400,000 lbs 200 passenger CRV, sharing the cost.
Attach 6 used rockets, clean, renovate and place the 36 satellites in their respective orbits.
Do it again, lifting another 1200 people, 36 satellites and building more HotelsInSpace.
Like LEGO, these pieces of Infrastructure can be attached end to end producing CitySkapes above the clouds.
Get on board? Do you want to build a 400,000 lbs 400 passenger landing vehicle? We will use our HLV to lift it.

Safety?
How many people died this month in car accidents?
How many died when swimming?
How many died in Boating accidents?
With 120 NASA shuttle launches, less than five burned on re-entry.
Less then 35 people die and less than 819 live to tell stories about space travel.
With 120 tasha9503 launches, if 4 burn on re-entry, that’s 800 people die and 23200 live to tell space stories.
We also end up with 19 HotelsInSpace.
Does that answer any questions about safety and do you have any other questions?

Any flying hardware could draw interest form aviation and space buffs who regularly show up.
Their UAV engine project may even be of value for a prototype model as well. UAV control systems may allow the model to fly at high altitude, and fire the rocket engines at altitude as well. Bilil Colburn has small hybrids available, but this would likely require a military range and flight clearance. It is beyond normal amateur rocket flight envelope, and the FAA or ATF may have issues with a near missle.
I may still be able to offer CAD to youth to support perhaps a radio controlled model of a concept. I wonder if an unmanned prototype might draw interest for funding at Oshkosh?
Funding is not my field for sure.
heard of this company called Unitel Aerospace? They have
patents on a starship that can travel instantaneously to other star
systems by quantum tunneling through higher dimensions or hyperspace. It can also
travel through time and to parallel universes. The technology is based
on back engineering of a UFO sighted by the CEO Larry Maurer. Website
is http://www.unitel-qht.com/uni/ . Check it out. I loved it. I
believe this is one of the best way to travel to the stars. Tell me what you think of this technology?Please reply.
