Space Castle Solutions (SCS) is developing the next evolution in space cargo transportation focusing on reusability, modularity, and flexibility for ‘plug-and-play’ mission configuring for Suborbital, Orbital, the Moon, Mars, and beyond.
Innovation for Space
SUB-ORBITAL
For over a century, the fastest way to transport people and cargo over great distances is by air. Over time this took weeks, then days, and in most cases, less than 24 hours to get from one side of the world to the other. The next evaluation of transportation across the globe is suborbital by using reusable rockets or space planes.
Modular Transport System (MTS) enables, during times of natural disaster, the ability to transport critical commodities and services, like food, water and medical supplies, by traditional transportation into the disaster area can take an excessive amount of time, thus increasing the suffering of those affected. Additionally, the infrastructure required for the distribution of those supplies and services usually is severely impacted by the disaster, thus delaying getting those things to those who need them most.
MTS has the ability to deliver bulk cargo, personnel and other needed services within 60 minutes of launch to anywhere in the world. Because of its modularity, reusability, and rapid turnaround times, response time is dramatically reduced. It is estimated that MTS can deliver up to 100 tons of supplies to unimproved landing areas without establishing launch support infrastructure and propellant.
ORBITAL
Low Earth Orbit (LEO) has been the frontier of our space-based habitation for over fifty years. However, due to the size and cost constraints of the available launch systems, only a few government agencies have successfully developed a long-term human presence in LEO, with the current and proposed facilities comprising segmented modules restricted in size due to launch constraints.
The MTS architecture allows for the transportation of large-scale infrastructure (such as habitable space modules and refuelling depots), equipment and supplies to enable an increased presence and growth on orbit in order to enable the next steps to the Moon, Mars and beyond.
The Moon
It has been over fifty years since humanity last stepped foot on the Moon, and with the development of NASA's Artemis Program and the Human Landing System (HLS) we will soon be able to return.
In order to establish and enable a continuous presence on the moon, supplies, equipment, infrastructure, and fuel must be delivered from Earth to Low Lunar Orbit (LLO) and the Moon's surface.
Our reusable system architecture enables large-scale deployment of critical required infrastructure and commodities to support establishing and growing a lunar base. It can land large turn-key infrastructure to support initial and long-term bases and outposts. Deploy large/oversized and heavy equipment critical construction initial and enduring facilities on the surface. Then support the sustainment of heavy cargo and supplies transportation to and resources from the Moon to enable an enduring and growing presence on the moon.
A robust presence on the Moon opens the door to establishing and growing a heavy and space-based industry, enabling humanity's next step in the solar system to Mars.
Mars
As Humanity looks towards the stars, Mars is the next frontier after the Moon. MTS has the potential to support and enable the colonization of the red planet and make Mars a realistic goal with others.
In combination with the development of SCTS in LEO and LLO, and on the moon, our system would allow for supporting the full spectrum of requirements for getting to Mars and enabling the establishment and growth of humanities presence in its orbit, on its surface and on nearby moons by enabling outposts for commercial and scientific development.
Beyond
Lastly, our unique modular architecture allows for larger-scale solar system exploration. This includes launching research missions with larger payloads to enable remote research platforms either in orbit or on the surface of asteroids, moons, dwarf planets, or planets. This would enable further exploration and development of resources across the solar system.
This is just the
beginning!
Our unique system architecture, the Modular Transportation System (SCTS), will revolutionize space logistics, enabling long-term sustainable travel, habitation, manufacturing and colonization of our solar system.
