Crewed Mars Mission on Philip Bono's Mars Glider
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 мар 2023
- In the year 1960, Philip Bono, a highly specialized Space Vehicle Design Specialist affiliated with the Boeing Airplane Company, formulated a conceptualization of a pioneering manned spacecraft intended for Mars. The outward visage of this spacecraft was fashioned in a manner which exhibited similarities to the X-20A Dyna-Soar single-seat orbital glider concurrently under development at his organization on behalf of the United States Air Force. However, Bono's cerebral rendition of the Mars glider embodied noteworthy dimensional dissimilarities when compared to the Dyna-Soar -- namely, it was of an enormity that was capable of accommodating an eight-man "expeditionary force," and nearly 40 tons of supplies and equipment. The prodigious Mars glider boasted a flat-bellied physique that spanned a monumental 125 feet in length, and an impressive 95 feet across its delta wings.
The Mars glider, once fully assembled and loaded with liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants, stood at a towering height of 248 feet, weighing in at an impressive 4150 tons. This colossal spacecraft was encompassed by six elongated outboard booster rockets, designed to enshroud and conceal the short booster, living module/rocket stage, and the majority of the aft portion of the glider.
Bono's original vision of the Mars glider was equipped with scientific instruments that would enable it to scrutinize the Red Planet's surface and atmosphere. This glider would harness the power of its wings to generate lift, and it would have been controlled remotely from the mother ship. The spacecraft would have been launched from a mother ship which was stationed in orbit around Mars.
Even though the Mars Glider concept never came to complete fruition nor was it ever launched, it nevertheless played a consequential role in the technological advancements of other Mars exploration technologies. Additionally, this epoch-making conceptualization inspired a plethora of forthcoming space exploration concepts.

😍Beautiful work, as always!
I never previously knew about this concept. Since it wasn't until July 14-15, 1965, when Mariner 4 completed its flyby reconnaissance of Mars, that we discovered that Mars has 1-100th of the atmospheric density of Earth, Mr. Bono can be forgiven for selecting a glider configuration for his crewed Mars lander. (Earlier crewed Mars mission architectures made the same assumptions - notably Wernher von Braun's "Marsprojekt", and the lifting-body design of Aeronutronic, a defense related division of Ford Aerospace).
There's a distinct change in the concepts from before and after. I think the first detailed concept after was the North American Rockwell one, and most follow a similar theme from there on. Earlier ones all use a lot more aero.
@@dogmaticpyrrhonist543 Pure C.G.I, cattle!!!
@@dogmaticpyrrhonist543 Starting at 2:55, who is filming??
@@elciosampaio2018 Welcome to the channel, it's all CGI, of f*cking course.
❤😊😊@@dogmaticpyrrhonist543❤❤❤❤❤
Extra credit for showing the craft pointed backwards during Orbital Insertion.
So many movies and videos show spacecraft still pointing forwards with thrusters on - as if they wanted to crash into the planet.
Gorgeous use of actual Mars renderings and images. The view during descent over Tharsis was very Kubrick-style. I recognize the landing site; it appears to be Curiosity's home, Gale Crater, as the backdrop of Mt. Sharp is my computer desktop background. Phil Bono would be proud of this.
That ain't Tharsis, that is Valles Marineris
@@mariasirona1622 Valles Marineris is part of the Tharsis region.
@@kspencerian what? No. Tharsis is the four big mountains and the land in between them
@@mariasirona1622 I see what you're saying. The canyon borders Tharsis and is part of the eastern plateau. Its likelihood as a tectonic crack caused by volcanic activity has been my understanding and proximity.

Stunningly gorgeous. Movie quality - I was transfixed.
Kind of reminds me of the ship from the movie "Conquest of Space". So many unrealized ideas for winged spaceflight. Another interesting space plane concept was the caret wing waverider that Terence Nonweiler proposed back in the 1950s.
I read somewhere that the production designer for the original 1968 film Planet of the Apes used this concept to create the movie's spacecraft that would later be called the "Icarus." The film designer's renderings of the complete vehicle, unseen booster included, looked very much like this.
I read an analysis of the movie once that was pretty interesting. But it lost me when it insisted that one of the characters was supposed to be gay,so.......
Bcs you watched a movie here as well
Thank you Bravo congratulations more amazing missions, breathtaking with tears. Thank you once again
I never heard of this concept before. Beautiful as always, keep up the good work.
Not to nitpick, but there are some minor errors:
- the stage separates from the glider before it enters Mars orbit, so that the glider does a direct entry
- the orange tank around it is supposed to be discarded before heading to Earth, as it is empty by that point.
- as the nose of the glider contains a reactor, it is supposed to be dismounted during the surface operations.
- before liftoff from Mars, the rear of the glider is supposed to be anchored via cables
Otherwise, great job on this rarely-known concept!
Literally to nitpick
Don't feel bad about nitpicking. It's interesting information. :)
To nitpick or not to nitpick, that is the question.
I’m impressed by how well everything is thought out. Atmosphere too thin to slow down enough? Pop a chute to get the drag you need! No runway? No problem, just land vertically! Don’t want to drag the now dead weight of empty fuel tanks and useless engines? Just cut the glider in half!
I've wondered why Starship, once in orbit, could not detach what's needed to get to the moon, down and up and back. It would have to be huge fuel savings.
@@jameswilson5165 "detach what's needed?" What do you mean?
@@maheshch1829 Why land the entire ship? Make the cone with draco thrusters detach and land. The Moon and Mars's gravity would allow this.
@@maheshch1829 he means starship is just the LEO delivery system. Like saturn 5 was for the apollo crafts
@@Madhuntr got it. Thanks
This is the channel where once you get to know the channel you click like and save even before watching the video. 🚀
That's EXACTLY what I do!
I clicked like for your comment before I finished reading it
🤣😅🤣😅🤡👆
This craft looks ksp levels of jank. 10/10
Yep I see a new design in KSP to work on.
Don't forget, the glider needs to work in 8mb atmosphere, Mars equivalent. Not the 80mb as Mr. Bono had based this on.
@@Nighthawke70 yeah, even after the early landers confirmed the extremely thin atmosphere they still had the glider mission as an example of a manned mission to mars in world book encyclopedias.
I like how this shows Mars’ atmosphere as blue, not orange, as it sometimes is not
Culture shocl
Those old designs were something else. This does not look like it has any abort options or margin of error, designed long before NASA became risk-averse. I really like the Plug Nozzle Boosters and Injection Stage.
The original concept had the forward section of the glider as the crew return capsule, which presumably could have been part of an escape mechanism. It was the only part of the craft that was designed to renter the atmosphere and splash down.
I remember spending hours looking at the mars mission article in my World Book. Part of that mission profile was extending a boom from the landing craft and spinning the entire craft for gravity during the cruise phase. The video shows a more updated architecture with a reusable nuclear booster?
It’s a joy to see something from my childhood imagination rendered in an awesome animation
See a notice and drop whatever else I'm doing...as always incredible except it's all totally believable. Thanks and cheers.
This is really KERBAL. Love it
Another great video! Tnanks so much!
It's always a good day when I see a new Hazegrayart video.
Excellent.
Well I guessed right :) And as always an awesome rendition of a plausible mission
A work of art! I'm a fan!
awesome! sound effects
Looks great 👌
Great job....that would be a sight to behold on launch day...maybe about 30 miles away,want to keep my hearing....
yes very very good work, keep it up
AMAZINGNES!!!
With that music at the beginning I half expected to hear: "Hello, I'm Michael Anis and this is Episode 266: Apollo 13 - “Houston, we’ve had a problem.” - Part 1..." It just gets me in the right mood.
Very interesting thanks to you sir
i got so many rabbit holes going into deeper rabbit holes, i don't know where i began anymore.
Like always, impressive work, you never disappoint !
Как всегда невероятно круто!
Watch out for drones Pavel
@@dziban303 if that guy's a Ukrainian what you just said could be interpreted as pro-Shahed terrorist attacks, not pro-use of drones on invading soldiers.

Can you cluster aerospike engines?
I thought they required undisturbed aerodynamics (the same air pressure) on all sides.
Awesome 💪
Magnificent 🤗❤️
Let‘s launch an SSTM next time!
Ok merci pour
The April Fools trick here was played by Mars on us by making us believe it had a thick atmosphere.
that looks like some launch vehicle made in ksp.
Note astronaut is only 4 feet tall.🤔👌
Nice.
Ok merci beaucou

Love so lifftof with u Dwayne Elliot chéri Love Space with u chéri
Mars seemes so strong and so fragile in same time Its break heart and music is Beautiful Dwayne Elliot chéri...
"How many boosters do you think are needed?"
"All of them."
We have seen many wild concepts brought beautifully to life by Hazegrayart, but this may be the most poorly considered. Guaranteed loss of crew on Mars landing if not sooner.
Yeah. Still cool. If only live in that mythical future. Unlimited funds. Unlimited cheap petroleum. Radiation without long-term effects. Landing an aircraft on a rock-strewn surface.
any way love this❤
Great stuff. The booster engines puzzled me, though? At first I thought thy were aerospikes, but the shape looks wrong, more like a dome than a spike. What are they>
Tonight on "The Way Things Should Have Been"
This is amazing! I'm very curious as to how you have the craft launch at Cape Canaveral, is the entire scene an image underneath the animation? Or an actual setup? I'd love to know!
It's all animation
Very interesting. Probably a little outdated, but does look feasible.
Жаль, что на Марсе недопустимо высокий радиационный фон и космонавты получат максимально допустимую за всю их карьеру дозу радиации...
С этим надо что-то решать...
What was the point of the Glider? It does not need to glide at all! Why glide?
You are landing vertically, you are taking off with almost as much thrust required for vertical t.o. And to land, you can't do it without the chute, cause atmosphere is too thin! Why glide?
Could you do an animation of the Delta-glider from Orbiter?
Awesome video ! I love it so much . Thank you for sharing it to us with pleasure . Happy week-end to you !
This is a nice one, very intelligent by the way is done !...
Show of tecnologic specie.
Good
Wow! Incredible visual creation! What do you use to create these visuals? What is the name of the artist / team?

Giant Dyna-Soar
Imo one thing that should be employed in any manned Mars mission is Resource Extraction portion that focuses on extracting either chemical fuel and oxidizer from either Diemos or Phobus. Or propellant to be used in a nuclear powered spacecraft. But then I am neither a mission planner or an aerospace engineer.
Another Crazy Mission lol😂
Thanks for sharing this massage, especially Mars mission.
Amazing ❤ United States Of America 💪
Why do thry use a first stage so long?
Yes
I wanna make this in ksp
没有720P么？
Wowoooooooooo 😮
aero spike?
Awesome video but the waste disposal pod impacts Mars? If there was no life on Mars before there certainly was afterwards!
that's what they sent back, it's how to break orbit, it's a honeycomb!
Yeah

They landed on the south pole. I could tell by the igloo
I thought this was an april fools prank video
They forgot to turn the light off in thier shelter before leaving.
NOOOOOOO

Só quero uma oportunidade para soltar a minha integecia
Legal
C'est vrai merci😮😮😮😮
Who and how do they film this ????
It's a 3d animation
3:03 ghh😢😮
This Craft looks eerily similar to the so called "Black Triangle" UFOs especially when its Landing.
