R0 was launched on 28 June 1969, but developed a large rolling oscillation immediately it was released from the pad. The fault was an open circuit in the feed back loop which controlled one of the motor pairs. As a result the guidance system was not able to correct the motion. At about 64 seconds into the flight, the control system could not cope and the vehicle tumbled. One of the payload fairings broke away, followed by the payload, then the Gamma 8 ceased thrusting. The vehicle was destroyed by ground command when it was at an altitude of 9000 feet on its descent.
R1, like R0, had live first and second stages, but no third stage. It was launched on 4 March 1970 and was completely successful.
R2 was launched on 2 September 1970. The first stage was completely successful but the second stage shut down 15 seconds early, leaving 30% of the HTP unburned. This turned out to be due to a leak in the HTP pressurisation system. The third stage separated correctly, and fired, but the velocity was insufficient to reach orbit, and thepayload crashed into the Gulf of Carpentaria.
R3 launched the Prospero satellite (X3) into orbit on 28 October 1971, in a text book launch. The programme had meanwhile been cancelled on 29 July 1971.
R4 was never fired, and is now on display in the Science Museum, Kensington.
Above us, travelling at 17,000 miles per hour, a tiny piece of British Science Fiction orbits the Earth every one hundred minutes. The final child of the British Space Programme, a satellite launched from a rocket called Black Arrow in the parched heat of the Austrailian desert in 1971, Prospero is a tiny refugee, a little ball of metal and electronics, an orphan of a future that never happened.
The ghost of this dream still orbits above us now, sucking in energy from the sun. According to this article, amateur satellite trackers heard the last tiny cries of Prospero as late as 2000, a phantom voice from an aborted future…

Cut the crap Chorlton... you yourself admitted that you can't be bothered to follow our links. You can say what you want about my interpretation of the data I collect, but every bit of it is backed by documents and links to official sources, mostly at military websites...

And you want me to list all the duds you had plus the people your space race killed?

Are you attempting to erect the dreaded straw man for an argument?
Zorgon is not making political statements so much as making statements about intellectual constipation and mismanagement of comprehension seemingly creating the largest amount of dissent to his postings.
Would it be possible for you to link to information to support your dissenting opinions?
You want a list of all the US space failures?

Yes, please, Chorlton I want to show how many failures there were until they figured out that the moon had 64% of the earths gravity and not 1/6th as is commonly believed.
Please list by spacecraft and date.
Thanks for your help Chorlton. It is greatly appreciated

Hi Zorgon,
Not sure if I followed this whole discussion through correctly, but there seems to be some confusion about the number of Brit satellites in orbit?
But that's still off topic...
Secret Space Station? Could very well be. We're all so far down the "secret ladder" that anything is possible.If the US has all the alien technology they are theorized to have, ie: anti-gravity space ships, I think 500 kilograms missing from the manifests of a few Progress supply vessels seems redundant, doesn't it? I mean, why bother with a chemical rocket for 2.5T of cargo when they can lift a lot more to a "secret space station" through the other way without anybody knowing about it?

Not at all. My reply was intended for John lear when he asked for proof.
It was then ridiculed by Z who, though wishing to mention the failures made no mention of the failures by the US. In fact if you look, we were far more succesfull in launching our first satellit than the US was.
I guess the UK should get the golden Kewpie doll. It is quaint to see someone who still holds onto the aspirations of the former British Empire. I have a very dear friend that lives in England. I look forward to her shipments of Custard, Snickers, and Milky Way bars. I hate the Aero's. And that stuff called "Marmolite" is so nasty i can't even stand to open the jar.
But i have a question...how come if you got the first satellite in orbit, you haven't figured out how to put biscuits in a can? She is simply amazed at our "canned biscuits".
You want a list of all the US space failures or a link to the UK satellite launch?
yes, both would be nice. Thank you. I noticed that Mr. Lear asked for it, too, but you simply replied with calling it a smoke screen. Will i get the same treatment?

Well personally I don't see the reason they would transport everything with the anti grav ships... It doesn't make sense.
Sure they would have to to move the big stuff... but you would no more use a Limo to deliver cargo. Why risk showing off your fancy secret ship when you can use cheap robotic cargo vessels... that will keep people on Earth employed and distracted from the "good stuff"?
Well in the meantime until one of our sources offers us a ride, or we get our own craft together, we can only seek out the inconsistencies and try to assemble the whole picture.
If we didn't do this, there would be no thread and no discussion...

discrepancies in the manifests to bring only 500kg per trip,
The MirCorp orbital facility, currently named Mini Station 1, will accommodate three visitors for stays of up to 20 days at a time. It is to have a lifetime of more than 15 years, and will be serviced by both Soyuz manned transports and unmanned Progress cargo resupply spacecraft. Startup of commercial operations is expected in 2004.
Detailed Definition of the MirCorp Station to be Completed in October 2001
The pioneering commercial orbital facility will be developed by Russia, using the country's more than 30 years of manned space station experience. The station will be based on proven technology developed by MirCorp's shareholder, RSC Energia, and its subcontractors.
MirCorp Soyuz manned transportation vehicles will visit both Mini Station 1 and the International Space Station. On a typical flight, the Soyuz would go first to Mini Station 1, where it will be docked for the two-week commercial mission. It then would fly to the ISS, where the Soyuz crew will transfer to the older Soyuz already docked to the international station. The crew would return in this Soyuz, leaving a newer spacecraft for the next space transportation cycle.
Quite true, keep up the good work,
