Hey Everyone, I was thinking about our current space programs and the fact that we are taking our first steps into our greater solar system. As such we need to align on pandemic procedures and space regulations in an effort to ensure we reduce any risks in regards to space travel. As such I was thinking that we need to align on a procedure for samples and testing to ensure safety is paramount. I was thinking that we set up a procedure where all samples and tests are done in orbit to ensure that we reduce the risks of contagion or biodiversity invasive lifeforms (If found). We should look to design and launch a series of labs that are protected against pathogen exposure that follow all the same guidelines as our terrestrial labs. This will ensure that if containment is breached we can launch the module safely into deep space. Furthermore, I think that we need to also look into adding refineries and processing sections for our initial resource operations in the asteroid belts and planets. Perhaps we can send probes to run a spectrographic analysis of the asteroid bets to determine what materials we can use and where. I also think that we need to create a new sensor grid system in our solar system that will allow us to both track asteroid trajectories as well as enhance communications throughout. They can act as bouys in the night by relaying sensor data from probes and communications from our eventual space colonies. They would be established in a grid system that surrounds the planets and space between us and the ort cloud. This will allow us to track deep space trajectories and ensure that we have more notice for any rogue asteroid or other object that passes through the sensor grid. This also allows us to chart our solar system and ensure we know where everything is. Finally, we should look at options to send new probes into the atmospheres of planets and moons to track their trajectories and weather patterns. These would be cost effective sensors that would float in the currents and send back data to the probe in orbit. These would allow you to record sensor data the entire way down to chart air currents and land formations. In areas with high pressure you should design these probes to have a crunch effect which allows the pressure to condense the sensor probe without damaging the inside sensor core. This Probe would also have a pressure system that would push outwards while being compressed inwards to allow the probe to survive longer in high pressure environments. The probe itself would be a sensor array sensitive enough to retrieve the information from any probe no matter how far into the atmosphere it was. Furthermore, it would be outfitted with an array of different sensors and receivers to track and catalogue the planet. Once the initial survey is done the probe would remain in a stable orbit to act as a radio antenna and broadcast relay for that planet or moon. This will allow us to communicate into deep space and allow continuous sensor readings moving forwards for that planet or moon. I would also look into options to increase the sensor capabilities of the grid to act as a solar system antenna to increase our sensor readings past the ort cloud. Finally, we need to look into our initial survey and resource gathering missions to start a space economy that will help provide funds for future endeavors. This infrastructure would allow you to gather, process and refine materials in space for use for building more space modules and eventually space ships for our future missions. We will require refinery and factory modules that allow us to produce products and materials in space. Once we have a stabilized economy in space we will then be able to refocus our terrestrial efforts to create a generation of astronauts and colonists for our bases and colonies. As such if we can review these options in the hopes of starting new endeavors for space infrastructure it would be greatly appreciated.
