This is the sandbox. Please use this page to tinker with any formatting questions or pure experimentation you may have. Go ahead. Make a really big mess here.  _
      -       .

Your mess goes here. Hit the EDIT tab to begin!


Version of Mediawiki?

What version of Mediawiki is this? I like the color cues in the editor. I also like the expanded list of edit buttons.

You obviously browse with javascript enabled. This wiki is currently running mediawiki 1.11.0. For version information and a list of the extensions installed on our wikis, look under Special Pages and then Version. The expanded main edit buttons are added in Common.js the other buttons are part of WikiEd and are separate.

Template questions

Is this one (5a) a good solution for interwikiexd links?

Is this one (template) a good solution for Instruction CodeExodictionary.png links?

What does "exd" mean?

Featured article: Eddy Current Brake to Orbit | 24 October 2019

Eddy current concept.png

This device is the central feature of a spacecraft carrier that receives spacecraft into orbit as an aircraft carrier receives aircraft that land on its deck. It works by having a long slotted aluminum tube in orbit and having the shuttle vehicle that is launched to orbital altitude enter this slot while the tube is moving by at orbital speed. The shuttle only needs to reach orbital altitude to enter the eddy current brake tube. That can be 10 kilometers on Luna at the perilune, an altitude that can be reached with 188 meters per second mission delta v, including gravity loss, a few seconds maneuvering fuel, and a small safety margin. Magnetic flux from permanent magnets deployed by the shuttle is directed at the walls of the tube causing a repulsive force and a retarding force.[1][2] By reducing the speed of the shuttle relative to the orbiting aluminum tube, the shuttle is brought up to near orbital speed. Since eddy current braking loses effectiveness at low relative speeds, friction braking is used to give the shuttle the last 18 meters per second to reach orbital speed and match velocity with the aluminum tube. During all the time that the relative speed of the shuttle and the aluminum tube is greater than 18 meters per second, there is no contact between the material of the shuttle and the material of the aluminum tube. ...(read more)

You Can Help!

  • Find an identified needed article with a red link, click here for a list of missing but linked to articles, or create your article by typing in the topic name in the URL (such as http://www.marspedia.org/index.php?title=articlename.)
  • Refine an article stub into something more complete.
  • Or simply tidy up an article in this category.
  • An offsite guide to Wiki formatting can be found Here.
