SPACESHIP
ABOUT PROJECT WORK
• 1-A spaceship is said to be non-monotonic if its leading edge falls back in some 
generations - i.e., the frontmost row doesn't always move forward or stay where it is. The
first non-monotonic spaceship to be found was the diagonal 13-engine Cordership, by 
Dean Hickerson in April 1991.
• 2-The first orthogonal example was found by Hartmut Holzwart in August 1992, which has
period 4 and travels at speed c/4. In April 1994, Holzwart found examples of period 3
 spaceships with this property, and this is clearly the smallest possible period. 
• 3-An oblique spaceship is a spaceship that moves neither orthogonally nor diagonally.
Knightships (infra) are the simplest example of oblique spaceships; others include 
Andrew J. Wade's ibisship Gemini, and Brett Berger's Waterbear, with a displacement of
(23,5) every 79 generations.
WORKING OF PROJECT
• The nature of the payload and its special needs help determine the design - shape, size
and configuration - of the space vehicle. If people are going, there are obvious unique
requirements, such as seating capacity, entrance and exit hatches and access to certain
systems. The configuration of the spacecraft must provide for all of the support systems,
such as communications, electrical systems and life support.
• Once the spaceship has been designed, it must be certified for flight through a series of
performance, vibration and thermal tests. It is now time to test the actual structure with
models of the design.
• It is not necessary to build an entire spaceship for initial testing. Instead, engineers build
and test the individual components. A wing, for example, may be subjected to tests that
are not appropriate for any other part of the vehicle.
ADVANTAGES
• 1. Space exploration allows us to
prepare for potential hazards.
• 2. It gives us more information
about our solar system, galaxy, and
universe.
• 4. We can see humanity in a
different way with space
exploration.
• 5. Space exploration provides us
access to new raw materials.
• 6. Investments into space
exploration create real economic
benefits at home.
 DISADVANTAGES
1.Space travel implies significant air
pollution
2.Particle pollution can be a problem
3.Space exploration implies high levels of
waste
4.Space exploration is quite costly
5.Many missions may not yield any results
6.Space travel can be dangerous
7.Space exploration is time-consuming
8.Mental problems for astronauts
9.Problems with radiation
