TELEPRECENSE REMOTE CONTROL RACES

(Still on going planning for Races.)

The Moon Society Phoenix is still working on the Teleprecense Remote Control races.

Check this blog for details as they develop.

We are still discussing set-ups, rules, equipment and sponsorship rules at this time and it appears that the races wont occur until sometime in the late winter or early spring.

All races will be open to all comers, however, judging maybe bases on age and type (cost) of RV Car. If you prefer to buy your own car and practice for the races, then you will need a three (3) channel RC Car that can be purchased at Walmart, Target or another store. You will need a minature TV camera, a transmitter, a receiver and a device to display the picture from the Car so that you can practice driving the Car by use of the TV System only.

In the talking stages are basic racing, advanced races, and the Lunar Challenge, race heats may be run against the clock and/or one on one or more.

If you have comments and suggestions please make your comments to this blog or send them to me at portercd@msn.com Subject RC Racing.

Demonstrations of the Race Cars will be available at CopperCon32 at the Moon Society Outreach Table.

DESIGN SPECIFIC LAUNCH VEHICLES

What if we designed launch vehicles to be used in space to be adapted to land equipment on the Moon, Mars and/or other planetary bodies?

a) What if the launch vehicles were designed to be coupled together to form landing vehicles for the Moon, Mars or other planetary bodies?

b) What if the vehicles could be remotely controlled for landings so that they could be landed and then the manned vehicles could be landed?

c) What if the Hybrid landing vehicles could then be decoupled and lowered to the surface separately and then moved into place and coupled together into a facility to operate out of?

d) What if the frame work for the hybrid vehicles were the basic parts of a MA to return items to the earth?
