TRANSCENDINGtotheENVISAGE

Space X In an era when most technology based products follow a path of ever-increasing capability and reliability while simultane-ously reducing costs, launch vehicles today are little changed from those of 40 years ago. SpaceX aims to change this paradigm by developing a family of launch vehicles which will ultimately reduce the cost and increase the reliability of space access by a factor of ten. Coupled with the newly emerging market for private and commer-cial space transport, this new model will re-ignite humanity’s efforts to explore and develop Space.

Our company is based on the philosophy that simplicity, low-cost, and reliability can go hand in hand. By eliminating the tra-ditional layers of management, internally,

Omelek Island

Is part of the Kwajalein Atoll in the Repub-lic of the Marshall Islands. It is controlled by the United States military under a long-term lease (along with ten other islands in the atoll) and is part of the Ronald Reagan Ballistic Missile Defense Test Site. Kwa-jalein is one of the world’s largest coral atolls as measured by area of enclosed water. Comprising 97 islets, it has a land area of 16.4 km², and surrounds one of the largest lagoons in the world, with an area of 2174 km². Omelek Uninhabited, leased

Space X Site

by the US military. Site of SpaceX launch facility. Little Bustard (Marshallese “Dre-bubbu”) is the first island north of Kwaja-lein on the East reef. During low tide and with protective boots, it is possible to wade across the reef between Kwajalein and Little Bustard

Omelek has long been used by the United States for small research rocket launches due to its relative isolation in the South Pacific. The last US government rocket

launch occurred in 1996. More recently, the island’s equatorial proximity and nearby radar tracking infrastructure has attracted SpaceX, an orbital launch pro-vider, which recently updated facilities on the island, as well as establishing the island as their primary launch location. In early 2006, an attempt to launch SpaceX’s experimental low-cost rocket Falcon 1 from this location failed. It is the only U.S. equatorial launch facility

Geography

The Island is located at and is about 32,000 square meters (8 acres) in size. Geologi-cally, it is composed of reef-rock, as are the other islands in the atoll, which is created by the accumulation of marine organism remnants (corals, mollusks, etc.)n the US environmental assessment review, released October 25, the Federal Aviation Agency issued a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI). An analysis of the pro-posed launches concluded that there are no significant short-term or long-term effects to the environment or surrounding popula-tions of Kwajalein.

Omelek has been developed solely as a launch support facility and there are no inhabited islands within 21 kilometers (13 miles) of the site.

According to the notice, Falcon 1 launch vehicle will reach supersonic speeds at an altitude of approximately eight kilometers (five miles) over the open ocean. The resul-tant sonic boom will not adversely impact any surrounding USAKA islands.

People

A staff of about 25 flight controllers and engineers will watch the space shot from a control center on Kwajalein Atoll, though the rocket’s launch pad sits on Omelek Island.

The launch control center is located on Kwajalein Island along with guest offices for our customers. The main island also has hotels, shops, a cafeteria and sports facili-ties.

Describing the benefits of the Kwajalein location, Musk said, "For potential custom-ers out there, I should mention that Kwa-jalein has some of the world’s best scuba diving and snorkeling! It is literally a tropi-cal paradise."

"I think I can say with confidence that we've left no stone unturned," Musk said in his press conference last week before leav-ing for the Kwajalein.

Breakwater

F1 Falcon Facility

Payload Processing:1 The services and equipent provided for satelite processing in the clean room area are shown in table 4-1 space craft limita-tions for the processing facility require no mono or biporpellants be board. SpaceX baselines a 1000,000 class celan room facility for payload processing. Hangar on Omelek houses the Payload processing facility (ppf).

RP-1

(Rocket Propellant-1) is a highly refined form of kerosene outwardly similar to jet fuel. Although having a lower specific im-pulse than liquid hydrogen (LH2) and thus less thrust per unit mass, RP-1 is cheaper, can be stored at room temperature, is far less of an explosive hazard and is far more dense.

Features on site

Quay

Provides mooring for:1) Landing craft type vessels delivering Falcon 1s and other equipment and sup-plies.2) LOX tankers, which unload via a pipe-line along the quay direct to the storage tanks adjacent to the launch pad.

Offices1 Near the PPF, a customer office area will be provided that contains desks, office chairs, one class A telephone line,and high speed internet connectivity. Fax service is also available. Portable units will supply sanitation needs forboth SpaceX and payload support person-nel at the launch pad. Payload support personnel are welcome to sharesmall amounts of refrigerator space, coffee machines, microwaves, and other conve-niences that may be available.

coastal erosion. They are constructed some distance away from the coast or built with one end linked to the coast. The breakwa-ters may be small structures, placed one to three hundred feet offshore in relatively shallow water, designed to protect a gently sloping beach. Breakwater construction is usually parallel or perpendicular to the coast to maintain tranquility condition in the port.Breakwaters are subject to damage, and overtopping by big storms can lead to problems of drainage of water that gets behind them. The wall also serves to en-courage erosion of beach deposits from the foot of the wall and can increase longshore sediment transport Most of Breakwater construction depends upon wave approach and considering some other environmental parametersWhen oncoming waves hit these breakwa-ters, their erosive power is concentrated on these structures some distance away from the coast. In this way, there is an area of slack water behind the breakwaters. Depo-sition occurring in these waters and beach-es can be built up or extended in these wa-ters. However, nearby unprotected sections of the beaches do not receive fresh supplies
