MISCELLANEOUS
The space sector isn't just about satellites/interplanetary spacecraft, launch vehicles and space tourism. It's an interdisciplinary industry with numerous supporting services. INTERPLANETARY EXPEDITIONS has agreements with a number of organisations to fulfil these requirements.
Airships/UAVs
Remote sensing of terrestrial and planetary bodies can often be performed by high altitude airships or unmanned aerial vehicles. INTERPLANETARY EXPEDITIONS has an agreement with the world's foremost expert in the development of high altitude balloons and can also supply UAVs whose system will be pre-designed to take images restricted to observations within a national geographic boundary.
Depending on the resolution of the imagers used and the altitude of the airship or UAV, face recognition is possible and real time video footage can be acquired for the purpose of surveillance. The imagers (still and video) are commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) and would have to be procured independently then shipped to our supplier to integration into the airship/UAV. This is so the imager supplier can authorise export to the client nation.
Once airborne, the UAVs which are powered by solar arrays, can remain at its design altitude all day. One such vehicle has been known to glide at 100,000ft during daylight hours but since it takes over 10 hours to glide back down to Earth, dawn affords the opportunity for the UAV to climb to its design altitude again hence it is possible for the UAV to remain airborne 24 hours a day, subject to wear and tear; i.e. replacing the motor and propellers.
The supply of very high altitude manned or unmanned reusable airships are also possible.
Please send us your requirements and we will arrange to send you a preliminary project proposal followed either by a visit to your country or a visit to our supplier's facilities in the United Kingdom.
Space Music
Music transcends borders and religions. The harmonious blend of instruments create a universal language that needs no translation.
As part of the company's service to the space sector, INTERPLANETARY EXPEDITIONS has teamed up with two of the most well respected composers of the "new age" genre. Their signatures are unique and identifiable where one focuses on pure 'space music', the other fuses world instruments and natural ambience from local environments.
Both composers have scored music for IMAX films, air shows and planetariums around the world and depending on availability, they can arrange for live ambient concerts for receptions during exhibitions, opening ceremonies or as a larger event as well as author compositions to accompany promotional videos.
Please feel free to send us your requirements and we shall aspire to meet your expectations.

Space Insurance
Protecting ones investment from possible loss during the launch campaign or in-space operation is essential. The most recent Sea Launch disaster highlighted the necessity of ensuring that insurance is included as part of any comprehensive satellite turn-key solution.
Our company has a cordial relationship with the world's largest space insurance broker and introductions can be facilitated, with ease. If you wish to visit the UK in order to discuss your requirements with our preferred space insurance supplier in person, then please contact us and we shall make the necessary arrangements.

Satellite Tool Kit
Satellite Tool Kit is the most advanced software package of its kind and is an essential analytical and visualisation tool for space mission planners.
INTERPLANETARY EXPEDITIONS has an agreement with Analytical Graphics, Inc., to market STK to developing nations. The product falls under strict regulations and not all nations can procure the software.

Scale Launch Vehicle Replicas
In addition to these principal services, our company can also supply large scale replicas of launch vehicles and satellites and have them delivered to your doorstep. The launch vehicles replicas are available at any size and are built specifically to order. One recent order was for two 3m tall KOSMOS 3M. They are made from fibre-glass reinforced plastic and shipped in aluminium boxes to protect the product during shipment. Images of your launch campaign are essential to duplicate your mission and we expect the client to supply this information.
These professionally developed replicas can often be seen at exhibitions such as the International Astronautical Congress, Farnborough Air Show and Le Bourget (the Paris Air Show).
