Player Biography
Hi, i’m making an irl aerospace company with a few friends and like uploading our prototype blueprints here cause I want feedback and stuff, also i like this game cause its rlly fun and the community is nice :3
If you have any questions, email me at: rayne.murray93@gmail.com

Book Launch IRL:
Note: This is a real form to launch a real satellite on one of our rockets once our company is fully operational. Do not click this link if you don’t want a real satellite launched.

Book Launch in Juno:
Note: This form is to launch a satellite(s) that you have made in Juno, if you want a satellite launched IRL, see the link above. We won’t charge you any money for requesting a launch in Juno, because it’s a video game and that’d be scummy. This link is just for us to launch your satellite(s) in Juno and then make a post about the launch, crediting you for the satellite(s). Clicking this link is encouraged, because launching other people’s crafts as if it were real is fun.

CyberSpace Overview
We are a launch company that can provide fast, reliable and fully reusable launch systems with high capability, low complexity and low cost. We use 3d printing to manufacture rockets quickly, efficiently and cheaply. We also use Carbon Composites to make our rockets lightweight and economical. Combining 3d printing with carbon composites allows the manufacturing of carbon composites for far less money than most people associate with carbon composites.
We are very open with our development, so you can click these links to see our google documents on the Company. (Bear in mind, we are currently in secondary school, (high school, for any Americans reading) so there isn’t anything super in-depth, but we are hoping on making it a reality)

Launch Vehicle Overview
Nexus
Nexus is a medium-lift, fully reusable launcher that can deliver ~15 metric tonnes to a 400x400 km earth orbit in a fully reusable configuration. It is optimised for constellation deployment, but can also be used for general satellite deployment, rideshare, space station cargo missions, and crewed spaceflight. With Six Dart engines, the first stage ascends to about 15km, shuts off three of the six Dart engines and ignites a central ‘Dart Hybrid’ that has a nozzle with a longer nozzle than a Dart SL, but a shorter nozzle than a Dart Vac for higher efficiency at high altitudes. The booster hurls the second stage to space, before separating, performing a boostback burn and using grid fins to guide itself, it lands back on the launchpad under engine power, ready for restacking and refuelling. The Second stage continues to orbit with one DVac engine, delivers cargo to the specified orbit, performs a deorbit burn and six heat-resistant triangles come down on small robotic arms from beside the engine, and fold in to cover the bottom of the engine bell. The second stage deploys small grid fins to guide itself back to the nearest body of water to the launch site. It reenters engine first, protected by the heat shield, and deploys a large parachute at ~10km and splashes down to be recovered. (Photos at the bottom of the bio) we are aiming for a fleet of Nexus rockets with a turnaround time of under 2 weeks. In a crewed mission, the second stage separates from the crew and service module, deorbits and does what is mentioned above. The CSM deploys solar panels, does what is required in the mission, and once its mission is finished, it deorbits using the SM engine, separates and the CM parachutes down and either splashes down in a lake near the launch complex or, in the off chance it misses, deploys four landing legs on solid ground. The Service module , however, instead of reentering and incinerating, retracts its solar panels and uses active cooling (pumping cryogenic propellants through the walls to cool it) to reenter safely. We are using active cooling here for data and practice, due to it playing a major part in our super heavy lift launch vehicle. After reentry, the SM uses parachutes to splash down in the aforementioned lake before being recovered and reused.
Neptune
CyberSpace’s new fully reusable super heavy lift launch vehicle. Using new and revolutionary technology combined with an achievable budget allow an elegant and fine-tuned solution to delivering crew and cargo to LEO. This next-gen launch vehicle uses new technologies such as:
Active cooling (pumping cryogenic propellants through the walls to cool it) in the upper stage to keep it cool during reentry. This is not necessary for the booster due to it reentering at speeds far slower than the second stage
Lightweight Carbon Fibre as the construction material allows for far more capability and a new engine layout strategy
No bulky and costly launch infrastructure. The vehicle is fuelled by underground tanks through a flap in the launch pad which closes after fuelling, preventing damage to the tanks and allowing for sleeker launch facilities.
Full reusability, similar to the SpaceX Starship
As Sir Peter Beck said “the key to reusable rockets are not to have engines stressed to their limits. There is absolutely no point in having an engine that is busting its bolts at 11,000 psi, when all you need for a reliable, reusable launch vehicle is an engine that can be used again and again at very low stress and very high margains.” We have taken this and, during development, we realised that instead of having a 29 engine layout, with each engine delivering 2000kN force (200t), we should change to a 61 engine layout with each engine possessing half the thrust and far higher efficiency. This allows for more thrust overall and more efficiency. We took a similar approach with the second stage, by replacing the 6 Helios Vac engines with 12 half-thrust, higher efficiency Helios Vac engines, and the three Helios Sea-Level engines with seven (6 outer, 1 inner)
Hotstaging, the simplest, safest and most efficient method of staging

My art of planets
Just thought “hey, what if Venus had a habitable moon, that’d be pretty neat” and drew this one day.
Small habitable moon of Venus with a volcanic asteroid moon and some calcite ice rings. Got the rings idea from the Kurzgesagt video on terraforming Venus, and thought that if this existed irl, this would be a nice place to keep the ice.

@Microbe did a funny satire edit of Thunderf00t (that skeptic who hates starship and Elon and had no clue what was happening during flight 4) and I thought it was funny so here it is
