MUSES-C Homepage (English Version):
MUSES-C is a sample return mission to the asteroid. Its primary goal is to acquire and verify technology which is necessary to retrieve samples from a small body in the solar system and to bring back them to the earth. The MUSES-C spacdecraft is equipped with solar powerd electrical propulsion system, and autonomous navigation and guidance system. The spacecraft will rendezvous with a small target in deep space (asteroid), touch down and take some amount of samples.

Balloon v1.0:
This is the story of how I designed, built, launched, and recovered a high-altitude weather balloon. Actually, the term "weather balloon" might be a bit of a misnomer, because aside from the physical latex balloon, and the payload's ability to measure temperature, this project bears little resemblance to a traditional weather balloon. The design and engineering process encompassed more disciplines than anything I'd ever undertaken before -- system engineering, software design, hardware design, basic electrical concepts, radio and RF engineering, and even some plumbing.

Interworld Transport - SailAway Project Page:
SailAway is a project meant to provide a good solar sail structure and flight simulator that can accurately account for orbit perturbations and structural details of the sail itself on flights through the inner solar system.
The application is organized as a collection of smaller applications performing specific duties ranging from physical simulation, user interfacing, and library storage of the results produced.
The open nature of the project and the storage libraries will support academic researchers and flight planners in efforts to study solar sail missions while reducing duplication of effort and the costs associated with flight analysis tools.

IAU: Minor Planet Center:
The Minor Planet Center (MPC) operates at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, under the auspices of Commission 20 of the International Astronomical Union (IAU) and is a nonprofit organization, with principal funding coming from subscriptions to the various services offered by the Center. The MPC is responsible for the efficient collection, (computation,) checking and dissemination of astrometric observations and orbits for minor planets and comets, via the Minor Planet Circulars (issued monthly) and the Minor Planet Electronic Circulars (issued as necessary).

HighLift Systems:
What is a space elevator?
Simply put, a space elevator is a revolutionary way of getting from Earth into space. A space elevator is a ribbon with one end attached to Earth on a floating platform located at the equator and the other end in space beyond geosynchronous orbit (35,800 km altitude). The space elevator will ferry satellites, spaceships, and pieces of space stations into space using electric lifts clamped to the ribbon. Ultimately, the space elevator will serve as a means for commerce, scientific advancement, and exploration.
