Active Systems
Sounding Rockets
- Sounding rockets are specialized vehicles that are utilized to conduct experiments in the suborbital environment. They are crucial in the exploration and advancement of scientific knowledge for the Shazbotdom Empire. In this section, we will explore the overview of sounding rockets and discuss their benefits for suborbital experimentation.
Applications of Sounding Rockets
- Sounding rockets have several applications in the field of suborbital experimentation. These applications range from fundamental scientific research to technological development and testing.
- Scientific applications of sounding rockets include studying the composition, dynamics, and structure of Earth's atmosphere. By launching payloads into suborbital trajectories, scientists can gather valuable information about atmospheric phenomena such as winds, temperature variations, and atmospheric composition. This information is essential for understanding the dynamics of our atmosphere and is crucial for climate research and weather forecasting.
- Technological applications of sounding rockets involve testing various spacecraft components and systems.

Sounding Rocket Booster Stage
- The Shazbotdom Imperial Space Administration (SISA) has made significant strides in the field of space exploration, particularly with their innovative use of booster rockets for sounding rockets. Sounding rockets, also known as research rockets, are designed to carry scientific instruments into suborbital space to collect data on atmospheric conditions, cosmic radiation, and other phenomena. The booster rocket is a critical component of these missions, providing the necessary thrust to propel the sounding rocket to its desired altitude.
- The booster rocket used by SISA for their sounding rockets is a marvel of engineering, designed to deliver high performance and reliability. It is a liquid-fuel rocket, which means it uses a liquid propellant and a liquid oxidier to generate thrust. This ensures that the rocket has a high payload to thrust differential, to ensure that it reaches its desired altitude with zero problems.
- One of the key features of the SISA booster rocket is its high thrust-to-weight ratio. This ratio is a measure of the rocket's efficiency, indicating how much thrust it can produce relative to its weight. A high thrust-to-weight ratio means that the rocket can accelerate quickly, reaching its desired altitude in a short amount of time. This is particularly important for sounding rockets, which need to reach high altitudes to collect data on atmospheric conditions and other phenomena.
- The booster rocket is also designed to be highly maneuverable, allowing it to adjust its trajectory during flight. This is achieved through the use of thrust vector control (TVC) systems, which can change the direction of the rocket's thrust. TVC systems are essential for ensuring that the rocket stays on course and reaches its intended target. In addition to TVC systems, the booster rocket is equipped with advanced guidance and navigation systems, which use sensors and algorithms to calculate the rocket's position and adjust its flight path accordingly.
- Another important aspect of the SISA booster rocket is its ability to carry a variety of payloads.

Capsule
- The high tech Capsules of the Imperial Space Administration are nearly 100% automated in terms of it's orbital capabilities. With most information shown on touch-screen displays within arms reach of the seats. There is a manual joystick behind a door undernieth the center display. This joystick is just in case that there is an issue with the onboard computer and it is needed to manually dock or undock with the Space Station. While it does not have any RCS thrusters of it's own, it does have smaller cold-gas thrusters that give it the ability to roll and pitches so that the heat shield is always pointed towards the right direction so that it doesn't burn up upon re-entry.
- The redesigned Capsule's heat shield is designed so that there is minimal gaps between.. This design is to ensure that if something occurs with whatever vehicle is transporting the Capsule to orbit (i.e. the Epsilon-class Orbiter that is used to transport to the Research Space Station) can be detached so that the Capsule can return to earth with minimal to no issues, losing only the Service Module that makes up the Orbiter. The Capsule has the ability to deliver 1 Pilot, 2 Service Crew, and 4 Passengers to orbit with each launch.
- The Updated 4th Generation Space Capsule has been slated with enhanced biometrics. This system encodes the Capsule's system to the crew that is assigned to the mission. The capsule also has an enhanced air filtration system and cooling system to ensure the comfort of the astronauts onboard. Each suit is integrated into the filtration and cooling system via three tubes that attach to the right side of each chair. Each suit is perfectly tailored to the specific astronaut to ensure comfort. There is a mobile computer panel that attaches to either wrist of the suit that is utilized as a control panel to adjust the airflow and temperature for the individual's suit.
Cargo Transports
- The main workhorse of the Cargo Transportation Fleet for the Orbital Science Space Station, the Omega-class specialty cargo transporters are designed to connect with the lowest docking segments of the Space Station so that Scientists can unload any and all equipment and new Research Projects onto the station as quickly as possible, utilizing the large docking ports at the top end of the transport ship. The vehicle is also designed to the point that it can bring up new equipment to replace old, outdated, and/or broken computer equipment.
- These Cargo Transporters are designed to have a total lifespan of 25 years before they need to be replaced. As of right now, the Imperial Space Administration has plans for at least two replacements for the Omega-class, with production of the prototypes of these two replacements. There is no official word of when these prototypes will be finished, they are being designed by two different private corporation teams. Imperial Space Expeditions Incorporated has the contract for one of the Prototypes while The Imperial Scientific University at Fairbanks is holds the contract for the second of the Prototypes.

4534-class Launch System
About
- The 4534-class Launch System first originated within the Shazbotdom Empire during the mid 1980s, during the birth of its Space Exploration. Utilizing technology that would have been considered State of the Art at the time, the 4534-class Launch System was used to launch a multitude of Satellites into Earth Orbit and was instrumental in the deployment of both Imperial Lab 1 and Imperial Lab 2, the first two Orbital Laboratories from the Shazbotdom Empire.
- During the early 1990s, it continued to be utilized for supplementing satellite deployments for the Empire until it was discontinued in 1993 after the controlled deorbit of Imperial Lab 2. In 2011, it was brought back into service for limited mission capabilities for several years, until 2018 when its operations ceased after the initiation of the Space Modernization Program, by Parliamentary Decree.
- Since 2018, several attempts were made to revive the program for low earth orbit launches of small satellites for foreign corporations, but that idea was scrapped after the design of the Delta-class and Gamma-class Rockets.

Lambda-class
Lambda-class
- The Lambda-class Side Boosters are designed to give the Zeta-class Launch System an extra boost to assist in getting it as close to an orbit as possible before they Jettison off of the main launch vehicle, attaching to each other behind the vehicle, and then doing a Return to Launch Site burn. The side boosters have undergone one change to the design, where the computer was fully integrated into the fuselage. This slight change was done to ensure that the vehicle would be reusable for a prolonged period of time.
- Due to advances in Engine Design on the Zeta-class 1st Stage Booster, as of the 1st of March, 2024 the Lambda-class Side Boosters are officially marked as Retired. The First Stage Boosters underwent a slight redesign to remove the docking mechanism for the Side Boosters and scale down the use of the RCS Boosters. Side Booster Pair Lambda-1 is currently in the Official Museum on the grounds of the Main Office Campus of the Imperial Space Administration. Side Booster Pairs Lambda-2 through Lambda-15 have been scrapped and the metals from them sent to the recycling center at our Metals Partner of Grants Metal Supply.
