Dear Mr. Bush,
In relation to the letter I sent you
on February 28th via email and copied and communicated to
your aid Mr. Tim Goeglein:
Senior Engineers in Russia’s Central Aerodynamic Institute (CAGI) have contacted InfoTelesys with
further disturbing calculations. Mr.
Ilyin Alexei Leonidovich, a respected senior engineer with Russia’s
Central Aerodynamic Institute, has calculated that debris from
de-orbiting Space Station Mir will cover a FIVE THOUSAND KILOMETER
range, as Mr. Yuri Koptev, General Director Russian Aerospace Agency
also recently stated in an interview.
Debris from the 130+ ton Space
Station will fall over a range greater than the distance between San
Francisco and New York!
Mr. Leonidovich states:
“Therefore the safe de-orbiting of the heavy station by the
Progress alone is impossible.”
Mr. Leonidovich emphasizes that the
inoperable state of Mir’s Gyrodyne will make a controlled re-entry of
Mir impossible, as the Gyrodyne stabilizes the flight of the Space
Station.
Bringing down Mir could be like
trying to drive a car without a steering wheel. |

InfoTelesys has the solution
As mentioned in our previous
correspondence, now posted on our website at http://www.infotelesys.com/mir/president_bush.htm,
InfoTelesys’ non-manned Mir/Peace Around the World Plan can eliminate
the risk of Mir falling from the sky by elevating Mir to Geo-synchronous
Earth Orbit.
IIS Threatened
It is important to recognize that
should Mir fail to de-orbit safely, the International Space Station
program will be seriously and significantly jeopardized as enormous public
opinion would mount against such a threat.
Already the public opinion is shifting against space stations that
can fall from the sky.
Strategic Defense Initiative Threatened
It will be almost impossible to gain
public support of SDI with a failed Mir de-orbit.
Level of Risk – Extremely High
The likelihood of failure in
de-orbiting Mir is almost guaranteed, as calculated by well respected
engineers. It does not take
too much common sense to realize that a 130 ton station without
stabilizers that travels across the U.S. in about thirty minutes is a huge
risk.
The
facsimile sent to InfoTelesys from Mr. Leonidovich, indicating the
engineering risk, is included with this email along with a rough English
translation (forgive the quality of the translation). |
