Together, they represent 99.997% of the mass orbiting Jupiter. Users who like Colonizing Jupiter (Narration Only), Users who reposted Colonizing Jupiter (Narration Only), Playlists containing Colonizing Jupiter (Narration Only), More tracks like Colonizing Jupiter (Narration Only).

If you are transporting your own ore, it makes sense to build spaceships for yourself. So, something like a giant flying wing, held together by inflated segments instead rigid supports, pushed through the atmosphere at supersonic speeds by a nuclear-ramjet. Firefly is one show that addressed this issue, establishing in a few episodes the reality of an interplanetary livestock trade. Ammonia might represent up to 5% of the ice by weight, providing vital nitrogen for biological activities such as farming. Any probes descending into the atmosphere are eventually crushed by the immense pressures within Jupiter.

In practice, such stations will probably be double shell and aggregate sandwiches... That is an air-tight balloon (probably made of several layers of kevlar and mylar or similar materials) inflated inside a sheet-metal cylinder, and with the intervening space filled with about a meter of dust/slag/rubble/regolith left over from processing the raw-material asteroids and held together by an AB-foam like binder, or perhaps sintered into place.

Due to the inverse square law, sunlight at that distance is 27 times weaker than on Earth. Fittingly long for our largest planet!

[41] During this period, it gathered a large amount of information about the Jovian system; the amount of information was not as great as intended because the deployment of its high-gain radio transmitting antenna failed.

In other words, i, At 1 ton per second of material ejected from Io, the current is, Another option is electrodynamic tethers. Thanks again for your input.

These are hard to find and even harder to refine. However, living on a moon provides an extra dimension of complications.

I would consider that sort of reasoning as backwards.

A ramjet design can convert the ozone into oxygen and the resulting heat propels the gases out. Having many nuclear reactors will allow you to breed fuel out of more common fissiles, so you don't have to enrich as much, which in turn makes the whole thing cheaper and more abundant.

Beamed power would solve the thrust-to-weight issue, as it removes the need for a heavy on-board reactor. The difference lies in the dust and impurities on Ganymede's surface.

But that of course relies on the presumption that we're not leaving Earth's atmosphere anytime soon for any purpose but to take some cool photos of Pluto, some soil samples from Mars, or to land a probe on a comet on a drunken dare.

This is a very efficient method of travel, as it allows lightweight spaceships to accelerate rapidly, using only a small supply of plastic disks as propellant. Ganymede can be colonized with the condition that any habitation should be beneath the surface with limited above ground missions by humans and preferably with radio-protective gear. That's kind of the whole objective of this blog: inspire readers to go forwards, armed with new information, to create interesting worlds of their own!If you want a really high-tension scenario, consider an interplanetary asteroid, diverted from its solar orbit into an intercept with Jupiter.

Considering the issues with generating lift and finding resources, habitats on Jupiter would have to stay very deep in the atmosphere. In other words, it took 6 years, 1 month, and 19 days to make it to Jupiter from Earth without flying by.

[30][31][32], In 2000, the Cassini probe, en route to Saturn, flew by Jupiter and provided some of the highest-resolution images ever taken of the planet.

Converting this voltage into an electrical current reduces its potential.

0.005 = 0.5%Laser power transmission: Due to the abundance of electrical energy available, it can be used to power rockets by beaming lasers onto them. Today, we take a look at the largest of the Jovian Moons – Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto!

It would then be 'attacked' by mining drones that strip it of valuables while the crew rotates out...But what if the laser's don't arrive? Solar panels on the surface, as described before, do not provide much energy. When scientists talk about colonizing the solar system, they often look to moons rather than actual planets.

[8] Ion thrusters capable of a delta-v of more than 10 km/s were used on the Dawn spacecraft. If we're still extracting Deuterium from our oceans and covering all energy needs locally, then Jupiter won't be interesting.Development of fusion might be independent of whether the Galilean moons are colonized or not. The reactive gas is regenerated by radiation; human-scale flight can't deplete Jupiter's atmosphere.Might humans not hit upon a similar pair of reactant and product for continuous operation at a proper atmospheric layer and temperature? These same hazards make living in close orbit around Jupiter very hazardous. [75][76] In 2003, NASA proposed a program called Human Outer Planets Exploration (HOPE) that involved sending astronauts to explore the Galilean moons. 45:02 Are we living in a black hole?
