Mercury Plan

The document describes the rotational and pressurization characteristics of different sections of a floor system on Mercury. The central axis and inner cylinder are magnetically levitated within the rotating outer cylinder. Protruding sections and the ramp are non-rotating relative to Mercury. The inner cylinder ensures stability of residential and industrial floors through its connection to the outer cylinder. Rotation allows vacuum pressures between inner and outer cylinders for different floor types, while pressurization is used in areas where people are present.

Landing on mercury – first getting into orbit– energy sourcing – material should be resistant to high/low
temperatures

Solar power satellites on lagrange points

No one will know about this – establish telescopes on the 3 ships that we sent into orbit / sensors

Will take 1 year or so?

 Apolloh will operate in the sunset terminator.


 The reardonium and the polymer nanocomposite have radiation
proof feature;
 The windows have a transparent radiation absorbent solar panel
onto it.
 The settlement will be moving towards the side of mercury that
will be newly be in contact with the sun (and wasn’t in contact
with it before), so that radiation protection is easier.
To enter orbit around Mercury, the spacecraft need to reach the planet travelling slowly enough
relative to its velocity to be captured by its gravity. They need to slow down from their original
speed, and slowing down in the vacuum of space is actually quite complicated.
To burn off all the necessary orbital energy using only thrusters, our spacecraft would need
such a huge amount of fuel, and extra material to hold it, that it would become far too heavy to
launch into Earth orbit even with the most powerful rocket.
This manoeuvre, known as a gravity assist manoeuvre, flyby, swing-by or gravitational
slingshot, allows us to explore a wide range of objects across the Solar System on a tight fuel
budget. If we want to visit the distant outer planets and minor bodies, we can take some extra
energy from Mars or Jupiter. If we want to visit Mercury, we can give some away to the inner
planets as we pass by.
Then use thrust to land on the planet
