Eight incredible technologies used by the space company

Every rocket that has ever reached space used a multi-stage system to get there. One stage lifts the rocket out of the Earth’s atmosphere, then the second carries astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS) or the Moon.

The interstage is the main component of multistage rockets. It connects the two stages while deploying the rocket motor. SpaceX uses a fully pneumatic stage separation system to test the apparatus before launch and minimize space debris by reducing the physical shock of separation. Both functions are useful for increasing the safety and efficiency of space travel.

By the time you hear the rocket launch countdown, the powerful engines are already firing. They must generate enough heat and power to propel the massive rocket through the air. As the rocket lifts off from the pad, pumps blast the area with cooling water to prevent the rocket or launch pad from melting.

ePumps has partnered with SpaceX to use the company’s B3ZPLS 50 HP pumps. The increased horsepower allows SpaceX to cool the rocket as it reaches about 5,800° Fahrenheit and generates excessive sonic energy. Water muffles noise while making flight safer for those inside the rocket.

SpaceX has many engine families, but most people know the Merlin engine as the most powerful model. The company’s rockets used nine Merlin engines to make its historic 2015 flight, landing after an orbital launch. They are one of the most incredible technologies that SpaceX is using because they have the highest thrust-to-weight ratio, which means they can lift a rocket more easily using fewer resources.

An astronaut can’t climb into a rocket and ask an AI program to land on the moon, but AI is still a valuable tool in SpaceX rockets. An artificial intelligence autopilot program helps astronauts land on the ISS, reducing the risk of human error.

While you can always feel like an astronaut by lighting up your house with moon lamps or watching rocket launches through binoculars, you can also use AI technology with similar software that astronauts use on their adventures. Smart security systems or thermostats use parallel programming to make your life easier.

The ISS is a place where astronauts conduct scientific experiments. Although they are highly educated and well trained, anyone can lend a helping hand every now and then. SpaceX recently contributed by sending the CIMON robot to space in 2018.

When astronauts use the Crew Interactive Mobile Companion (CIMON), they can ask questions about their experience and even watch it on screen to walk through different scenarios. The support facilitates the collection of accurate data so that the most reliable information can be fed back to mission control.

Shuttles and rockets have highly specialized software that alerts them when they suspect something is wrong. Astronauts have to make split-second decisions that involve multi-step processes to check if something has happened and if they should evacuate. This can take time that they don’t have, especially since people always need a second to activate hand-eye coordination.

SpaceX uses an artificial intelligence-powered emergency system that alerts passengers if something is wrong with the rocket. When activated, the system ignites the thrusters to quickly separate the astronauts from the rocket and propel them into space.

If something were to actually go wrong, the dangerous lower stage would return to Earth, leaving the astronauts unharmed. Artificial intelligence does not need hand-eye communication to activate emergency systems. Astronauts are a little safer with technology to back them up in times of crisis.

SpaceX’s latest SuperDraco engine is incredible for several reasons. Instead of using slower printing methods, the material requires direct metal laser sintering to produce faster and at less cost.

It also works differently than the Merlin engine in that it uses two non-cryogenic fluids: monomethyl hydrazine fuel and nitrogen tetroxide oxidizer. When the two fluids come into contact, the engines ignite. The engines can be restarted multiple times without much effort, allowing the rockets to be used more than once.

When you open Chrome for Google, you’re using Google’s open source foundation code. Other companies can use it to build interfaces, so SpaceX is depending on the foundation to give astronauts more information on their touchscreens. Thanks to commonly found HTML and JavaScript coding, it appears as easily understood information.

Astronauts can understand and use data more efficiently because SpaceX’s Chromium interface bypasses traditional aerospace programming. Touchscreens also have additional hardware capabilities to integrate older rocket and shuttle buttons with digital operations.

People who love space exploration should know about the incredible technology used by SpaceX. They are leading the future of intergalactic travel by transforming what humans already use with the latest developments in aerospace technology. Additional growth and new developments are sure to come as SpaceX continues its journey to Mars.
