A global strong idea is behind the creation of Astroengineering Technologies LLC, and that is the implementation of the uSpace geocosmic program.
By accomplishing the goals, humanity and the planet Earth as a whole will receive an additional development vector, which will preserve our world, ensure the sustained evolution for millennia to come and allow future humanity to live in harmony with terrestrial nature
There are currently about a trillion species of living organisms on Earth. The number of those described is 1.75 million (0,000002 %). 70 species die every day, while 26 000 perish annually. Most of them disappear due to anthropogenic factors
Homo Sapiens became Homo Technocraticus a long time ago. And this “technocratic man” cannot already live without industry products
The technosphere began to occupy the same ecological niche as the biosphere does. During the biosynthesis, the biosphere now reproduces about 150 billion tons of dry organic matter per year, which, if converted to fuel, is only slightly higher than the annual energy consumption of all the machines and technologies available to the Earth’s civilization
A territory that is 5 times larger than Great Britain ended up grouted in cement. This soil is dead, with no green oxygen-producing plants growing on it
Cars alone use 2.2 billion tons of fuel annually and burn out 7 billion tons of oxygen from the biosphere — this is the amount produced by a pine forest with an area of 240 million hectares in a year
It is necessary to provide the technosphere with an ecological niche outside the biosphere
We need to take into account that all living organisms are “fitted” specifically to the Earth’s climate. It’s not possible to find the conditions as suitable for earthlings than our planet has nowhere in a vast universe, not even on the Moon and on Mars
The perfect environment for most technological processes is near space at a 300–500 km distance from the Earth’s surface
Thus, we can conclude it is necessary to industrialize near space in order to continue the technological path of development while preserving the biosphere
In the 60 past years, it has become clear that the rocket exploration of the Earth’s orbit causes enormous harm to the environment and cannot provide the sufficient level of outer space usage required by humankind while being fabulously expensive
Launch vehicles are capable of carrying only a few thousand tons of cargo per year on the Earth — orbit — Earth route, which is tens of thousands of times less than required and provides every person on Earth with less than 1 g per year
Rocket technology has already reached the peak of its technical perfection, while rocket space science has not become widely available for general access
The most environmentally friendly and profitable geoсosmic aircraft in operation is General Planetary Vehicle (GPV) proposed to the world community in 1982 by engineer A. Unitsky, which is currently being developed by Astroengineering Technologies LLC
Engineer and scientist A. Unitsky developed a concept of the General Planetary Vehicle, which is a self-expanding ring designed to go out from Earth into near space due to the internal forces of the system
The first articles about the GPV were published on the pages of popular science magazines “Inventor and Rationalizer” and “Technology of Youth”
A. Unitsky became a member of the USSR Cosmonautics Federation
The author of the GPV project presented a report at a non-governmental meeting of the American and Soviet public, which took place in Moscow and was organized by the Soviet Peace Committee. It resulted in the publication of the “Century XX and Peace” bulletin, where the concept of the GPV project was presented in 5 languages
The I scientific and technical conference “Non-rocket space industrialization: problems, ideas, projects” took place where reports with significantly elaborated calculations for the GPV project were presented
The second largest Center for Scientific and Technical Creativity of Youth “Star World” in Belarus was opened in Gomel, and the EcoSpace program was developed as a part of its work
The Belarusfilm shot the documentary “Gravity of the stars”, dedicated to the Center for Scientific and Technical Youth Creativity “Star World” and its director A. Unitsky. I. Volk, the pilot-cosmonaut and a Hero of a Soviet Union, also supported work of the Center
In the same year, the director of the Belarusfilm Yuri Khashchevatsky shot the tape “To the sky by wheel”, dedicated to the author of the GPV. The film was shot in 2 languages — Russian, to be shown on the screens of the USSR, and English — for showing abroad
The years of developing the overpass for the GPV
On March 21, 2019 Astroengineering Technologies LLC was established
2019–2023 — 5 international scientific and technical conferences “Non-Rocket Near Space Industrialization: Problems, Ideas, Projects” were held on the territory of the Aquarelle Ecopark in Maryina Gorka, Republic of Belarus. The conference is organized annually to promote the ideas of the EcoSpace program, aimed at solving global environmental problems of humanity within the framework of a new era of space exploration. The conference is a center for the exchange of scientific and practical knowledge and experience necessary for the implementation of the space vector of human development and the industrial exploration of the Earth’s orbital space by non-rocket means. During these years, the geography of the conference participants expanded to 21 countries.
The event was attended by representatives of such international organizations as:
Research Technology and Innovation Park in Sharjah, UAE
UNIDO Center for International Industrial Cooperation in the Russian Federation
Eurasian Economic Cooperation Organization (EEC) on real estate in Europe
International Center for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI)
Scientific and Educational Center Aerospace Technologies of Southern Ural State University
Arctic Public Academy of Science
Central Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering and Roscosmos State Corporation.
Following the results of each conference, a collection of scientific materials was published. A collection of all scientific works is housed in our electronic library
