Description
For Beyond Blue Aerospace building a "safe, reliable, and reusable space-plane" capable of reaching the Karman line (100 km) is the company's primary mission. Supporting their research and development, they run a pilot ground school school and offer books and courses for suborbital pilots.
Beyond Blue's ground school is available online and consists of 4 courses that teach important information for anyone operating above or below the Karman line. The first course introduces students to the suborbital space environment (atmosphere) and its effects on the performance and safety of crew and equipment. The second course is about operations at high altitude, especially how to keep humans alive in those conditions. Course number 3 teaches how to calculated trajectories of suborbital vehicles. In course 4, students learn about the international and national laws applicable to space, who's making the laws and their motivations.
Seeing rocketry as a stepping stone to spaceflight, the company actively develops and tests scaled versions of their designs. They continuously engage in outreach programs in association with Launch Canada, Air Cadets, schools and indigenous groups.
