Rotary Rocket built a landing test simulator ( the Roton ATV ) which flew three successful test flights in 1999.

Instead, the Mojave Airport administration worked to keep this historic vehicle at Mojave, and on November 10, 2006, the Roton was moved to its permanent display location at the intersection of Airport Blvd and Sabovich Road.

Three of them — Roton Point, Bayley Beach, and a coastal enclave of Wee Burn Country Club — share a common history.

* Roton Commercial launch vehicle project, cancelled in 2000 due to lack of funds.

Rotary Rocket built and flew atmospheric tests of the Roton, a novel manned, re-usable space launch vehicle.

The Roton was a cone-shaped launch vehicle, with a helicopter rotor on top for use only during landing.

Hudson is best known as the founder of Rotary Rocket Company, which in spending ~$ 30 Million attempted to build a unique single stage to orbit launch vehicle known as the Roton.

Rotary Rocket, Inc of Mojave, California, was a rocketry company headquartered in a facility at Mojave Airport that developed the Roton concept in the late 1990s as a fully reusable single-stage-to-orbit ( SSTO ) manned spacecraft.

The Roton was intended to reduce costs of launching payloads into low earth orbit by a factor of ten.

And the ballistic coefficient was better for the Roton and could be better tailored.

The Atmospheric Test Vehicle was to be displayed at Classic Rotors Museum, a helicopter museum near San Diego, California, but an attempt to move it there on May 9, 2003 via a short-line sling-load under an Army Reserve CH-47 Chinook failed when the Roton began to oscillate at airspeeds above.

To many, the Roton represents the program that launched Mojave into the Space Age, and this theme was echoed during the dedication ceremony that took place during the Veterans ' Day celebration on November 11, at which Brian Binnie was the keynote speaker.

Consequently, the Roton concept needed to be redesigned for heavier payloads.

The Roton is a manned spacecraft that is owned and operated by private enterprise.

He received his doctorate in physics from Virginia in 1971 with a thesis on Theory of the Elementary Excitation Spectrum of Superfluid Helium: the Roton Lifetime, extending his planned stay in the US by a year in order to continue his research.

In 1998 Rotary Rocket proposed the Roton, a Single Stage to Orbit ( SSTO ) piloted Vertical Take-off and Landing ( VTOL ) space transport.

After spending tens of millions of dollars in development the Roton failed to secure launch contracts and Rotary Rocket ceased operations in 2001.

Various systems that have been proposed have offered even lower rates, but have failed to get sufficient funding ( Roton ; Sea Dragon ), remain under development, or more commonly, have financially underperformed ( as in the case of the Space Shuttle ).

Several research spacecraft have been designed and partially or completely constructed, including Skylon, the DC-X, the X-33, and the Roton SSTO.

A former mechanic at Norton, Brian Crighton, started developing his own rotary engined motorcycles line named Roton, whose products won several local Australia races.

It declined with the closure of the last Walloon coal mine, namely the Sainte-Catherine shaft of the Roton company, and the fall of the iron and steel industries, formerly large employers in the area between Liège and Charleroi.

Today, the site of Roton, of which only the tower and the cloakroom remain, has been developed to accommodate small and medium-sized businesses.

This version of the Roton had been designed with the small communications satellite market in mind.

The Roton engine had a projected vacuum I < sub > SP </ sub > ( specific impulse ) of ~ 355 seconds ( 3. 5 kN · s / kg ), which is very high for a LOX / kerosene engine – and a thrust to weight ratio of 150, which is extremely light.

It is not known whether Roton could in practice have developed enough overall performance to reach orbit with a single stage, and return – although on paper this might have been possible.

In the early 20th century, the properties of all three made up the Roton Point Amusement Park.

* After rendezvous with its own ATV, Gemini 10 performed a second rendezvous with the ATV from Gemini 8.

During the thirty-two week school year, ETV programmes are shown on ATV World from 10: 00 a. m. to 12: 00 p. m. midday and on TVB Pearl from 2: 00 p. m. to 4: 00 p. m. each weekday.

The ATV would climb to an altitude 10, 000 ft ( 3, 050 m ) under its own power, before throttling back and returning for a soft landing.

Produced by ATV and ITC at Elstree Studios in the United Kingdom, the special was televised in that country on ITV on July 10, 1974 at 8PM in most regions.

Before his time at the BBFC, Ferman worked on TV series such as Armchair Theatre, and after moving from ABC to ATV, Emergency Ward 10 and many documentaries.

Branca closed the deal and purchased ATV Music on Jackson's behalf for $ 47. 5 million on Aug. 10.

Rupert Murdoch had acquired the 0-10 Network in 1979 and had Channel ATV 0 in Melbourne change its call sign from 0 to 10 in January 1980 to make the network complete.

* Broadcast Drive — a famous area where several radio and TV stations are or have been located, including Radio Television Hong Kong ( RTHK ), TVB, ATV.

In addition, the band's music has been featured in popular culture — their single " Lost ", from their self-titled debut, was featured in a promotional video for the NBC television show The Black Donnellys, and their single " Animal " was featured in the soundtracks of the video games Burnout 3: Takedown and MX vs. ATV UnleashedThe Campbell Brothers " founding members " appear on the Bob and Dougs 24 anniversary special and have music featured on don cherry's hockey video's 9, 19, 20.

In common with other 1970s shows, several Pipkins episodes recorded on colour videotape — including the very first Inigo Pipkin — are missing from the archives ( poor storage of former ATV master colour videotapes has led to the loss of many shows ), and no 16mm black and white film copies of the lost episodes exist.

In 1973 Griffith made a documentary film about the life and death of Irish military / political leader Michael Collins titled Hang Up Your Brightest Colours ( which is a line taken from a letter from George Bernard Shaw to one of Collins ' sisters after his death ) for ATV, but the Independent Broadcasting Authority did not permit it to be screened ( it was only shown — by the BBC — in 1993 ).
