What if we would combine the HULC-exoskeleton and space suit


Picture I

Kimmo Huosionmaa

This writing is pure fiction. I took the idea for it from the movie "Predator", and this solution would be pure science fiction. The space suit is very suitable for deep-sea scuba diving, and also the use of this equipment in high-level radioactive areas feels a good idea, but there is one problem with that suit. The weight of the space suit is enormous, and the weight of this system causes, that it is useless in this kind of missions. But with one special equipment, this thing can revolutionize the handling of nuclear disaster and diving technologies. This equipment is HULC-style exoskeleton, what allows the capacity to use the space suit in the surface of Earth. The exoskeleton would give extremely big power to the person, who uses that machine. The space suit is suitable also in deep-sea missions because the suit is very hard. Actually, the space suit is a man-shaped spacecraft.


And in theory, the team, what uses this equipment can be dropped from the spacecraft to operational area, and the space suit is hard enough to resist the pressure of the deepest sea. Those persons can carry the heat shield, what looked like shields, what the knights used, and they can return to the atmosphere. Then the parachutes would be open, and those persons could start their operation in the deep sea or in the radioactive area. Those systems are very expensive, but they can be allowed to operate in the areas, what is too hostile for normal rescue or operative team.


The space suits can allow getting the things from the sunken ships, what are very deep.  The connecting that very heavy thing with HULC-system, could the operator also work in the places like the nuclear disaster. The space suit can allow that the man can handle the uranium fuel without risk of getting radiation illness, but this would make very bad visions in my sight. Space suits are equipped with the thing, what is called the "micrometeorite protection". That means that this suit could be used as the armor suit, what would resist all kind of threats. The suit can be equipped with RTG-generator and lasers. The laser would be in the back of the operator, and the laser rays can be transferred to the arms by using light cables. And the RTG would give enough power to that system. The exoskeleton would give enough force, that one person could carry this kind of equipment.


When we are thinking, that the space suit would be used as some kind of "predator" mission, that thing can also be equipped with the nuclear detonator. The nuclear detonator could be modified RTG-generator, where would be connected with another bite of plutonium. Power of that device would be extremely low, what means about 0,5-2 kilotons. The military might be interested in this kind of devices because they would cover the identity of the operator if this person would be injured. The space suit allows avoiding the DNA markings of the operator, and it will be very hard, and maybe in some laboratories are tested, how suitable this thing would be in some kind of missions. But the high price of that system would limit its use to the space missions. This thing could be very good equipment in some science fiction book, and in the real life, the space suit can be too expensive in the everyday use.

The problem of Russian military aviation and Soyuz 1 incident in 1968 (Cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov death),

Soyuz launch at Baikonur
(Picture I)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The major problem of Russian technology is was bureaucracy. Also, old-fashion military tradition makes sometimes the to confess that the innovation team has made mistakes. This means, that if there were some mistakes in equipment,  were not dared to tell the leaders of the project. This caused the death of some cosmonauts, and at least one case the reason, why the parachute have not the reason was that the box of the parachute was too big in its space. And that caused the death of cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov (1927-1967), who crashed on the ground with 250 kilometers per hour in 1967.

Picture II


There were some things, what caused the rumors that Komarov was murdered. First was that this man claimed to curse the Soviet leaders while dropping, and sometimes somebody has been asked, could Komarov feel or notice that the parachute was not open, or did somebody in control center told that to Komarov? But this kind of things are rumors, what are was not sent about many historical accidents. The case of Komarov made many people think that "how many cosmonauts were lost in space?". There are many stories in Russia, that some of those men, who sent to the sky ever returned. But when we are thinking about Soyuz program, we must notice that over 300 technical failures in one capsule Soyuz 7K-OK were not very good achievement from those engineers.

And of course, the handling of the parachute was not like, what it should be. When Komarov went to capsule he said, that he was not want to risk Yuri Gagarin's (1934-1968) life. In that mission, Gagarin was as backup crew. But in this case, I must ask did Komarov afraid because of the life of Gagarin? And then the parachute failed in the last moments of that flight. There is one remarkable thing: also Gagarin died in the airplane accident during routine mission short after Komarov's death.

Vladimir Komarov
(1927-1967)

His MiG fighter was hit the ground in the middle of routine maneuver and Gagarin didn't send any emergency call, and there were rumors that this cosmonaut committed suicide in 1968. But this sad accident of Komarov is was the example of the dangers of authoritarian command in engineering work. The engineers are humans, who make mistakes. And if they don’t dare to tell that there are problems with production, the results will be sooner or later devastating. This is the reason, why the engineering team must talk freely and also dare to confess that they are made mistakes without fear of divorce or execution.

The most dangerous situation would be that somebody is hiding some errors in the product. And the Russian authoritative government, what would give punishments very easily would cause the situation, where rumors of assassinations keep the mouth shut by was errors like wrong size parachute because that would make the product the production slower, and the timetables would not match. This might cause the death of Komarov, and the death of this man was the accident, what was the reason for many mistakes in the process, where parachute of the Soyuz one was ordered. And only one question stays on the air: why that parachute was not denied and the spacecraft staff sends it back to the factory? And why the size of the room of parachute was not sent to the factory? Those questions still remain above Soyuz 1.

Was famous hijacker "D.B Cooper" CIA operative and Vietnam Veteran? And did he ever made that parachute jump?

https://www.thevintagenews.com/2018/02/08/d-b-cooper/

Above and below the text links to the speculations about the only unsolved hijacking case in the history of United States. In this case, the hijacker claimed to jump out from the Boeing 707 passenger plane at the altitude 4000 meters. This case has been caused many speculations, that the hijacker has died or he was actually SPETSNAZ-man, whose mission was to get money, where were FBI:s security markings and send that money to Moscow, KGB headquarters, where the specialists would investigate those banknotes, and then make own fakes of those dollars.


But when we are looking about this story from the Vintage news, we must say, that those writers might be right. That kind of operation needs the man, who is trained, parachutist. When we are thinking about this hijacking, we must say that nobody actually saw the hijacker leaving the plane by parachute. And this makes me think that could this mysterious  D.B Cooper ever left the plane? Or did he hired somewhere in the passenger cabin or somewhere in the electronic room, or table space in that plane?


Maybe Cooper just dressed the overalls, what flight mechanics use and then this man was the slip in the cable space. And when the airplane rolled to the gate, Mr. Cooper just walked away. But the jumping was not very difficult, and if that man dropped to the trees, might he cut himself free.  There are many stories about this mysterious case, and the strange metal powder, what probably was Wolfram, caused many theories, that Mr. Cooper was the worker in the lamp factory or in the wildest theories this man was working in AREA-51.


This case is the only open hijacking in the history of United States. And the faith of Mr. Cooper stays in mystery. Nobody ever seen his body or met him. And nobody ever claimed that Mr. Cooper was her husband. So this is very complicated and interesting case in the history of crime. Someday that case could be solved, if somebody finds Cooper's body, and in that case, this man's real identity comes in public knowledge. But before that, there might be many stories about this mysterious case, what seems some days closed. Then there would always be some new evidence and the case would reopen.

Was the most unusual hijacking case mentioned to get model money for "super-dollars" or another perfect counterfeit.



"D.B Cooper" in FBI Portrait
(Wikipedia)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The most unusual hijacker in the world was Dan Cooper or “Case Daniel”, who hijacked the airplane in the United States of America at 24.11.1971. Some person believes that all the case was made for some kind of simulation of the airport security. The gun what this man was used was interested the authorities more than the man himself because the material what was used in the pistol was probably titanium or chromium-nickel composite metal. In official papers are mentioned that Cooper had only the bomb, but somebody has the opinion, that this man had also the pistol.


The reason of that is "Mr. Cooper" didn't seem the suicide type person, and that's why this person believed to carry the pistol under his jacket. Many rumors and theories about the man's death are made the investigations very difficult, and in some rumors, this man was named as the "Zodiac Killer", because they might look like the same person. But those claiming are not proven, and the secret remains until those men will be found dead or alive. And until then we might be sure are those persons the same or two different persons. As we know, the legends are living, and this is the reason, why I put those persons pictures in this text, and you might look for similarities of those persons, in the police drawings.


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper

This material is anti-magnetic and allows to carry the firearm into the airplane. In some scenarios, there is the connection between the “Cooper case” and the “Super-dollar” case. The last case was the incident of extremely well-made dollar counterfeits, and in some scenarios, this weird hijacker-case was made for getting the dollars with all security markings for this kind of operation. The purpose was to get dollars, what material was very well proven, and the colors and other things of the money were absolutely right.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zodiac_Killer

identical?

and one suspect right



And if the maker of that operation was the KGB that money can be tested with DNA, and then the tree, what is used in the paper of that money can be found. The chemical mixture of the printing ink could find out with gas tomography and spectrum analyses, and that will give the counterfeit-organization capacity to make perfect counterfeits.


Also what made the case so important was the wolfram-metal, what was found on the plane. In some scenarios Cooper died when he jumped out the plane, but as we see the secret remains. If the parachute was made by the nylon, this thing might stay untouchable in the forest, but if it was made of silk or other natural material, it might be gone in the history.


And mister “Daniel” might have the forest hiking equipment in the bag, and then if this man has experienced parachutists like Navy SEAL or Airborne Ranger, he could hang the bag in his belt, and then jump out the plane in the night. 4000 meters is not very high. And the normal wealthy person doesn’t need extra oxygen at that level, what is lower than some ski centers in Alps.


The jump was quite difficult because the jumper could jam to hang under the trees, and the distance to the nearest city was so long. But in the real life, the experienced parachutist might use the service bag, what hangs by long nylon wire as the plumb bob, what warns, before the jumper was hit to the ground. But “mister Cooper might be dead or somebody might wait for him at the ground. The man who was wait for “Mr. Cooper” might use the flashlights to show the place for landing.


But of course the hijacker “Dan Cooper” asked the ransom, and the thing that is so suspicious is the sum what he asked. One million dollar for the ransom of that kind of action was not very big. And if “Mister Cooper” would want to use that money, must he go to Europe, because he must know about the markings of that money. So if ransoms what was asked are used in the simulation, that might explain all the things, why this man was ever found.


Some scenarios this hijacking was made by the SPETSNAZ of the Soviet Union to take that money to the Soviet land. And the purpose of that operation was to get the marked money for the KGB. In this imagination scenario, the operation was done because the KGB wanted to make “super-dollars” for their operations. Those counterfeits might be done by the special section of the Soviet Central Bank, and they would be cleaned for those special signs. In “super-dollar-case” the model of those fake dollars, what was extremely well made might take by the dollars what was given to “Mr. Cooper” in 24.11.1971.

"Dan Cooper" the missing hijacker

FBI:s drawing of  "Dan  Cooper" 

Kimmo Huosionmaa

This is a continue for the last writing. It's a story about the case, what has been the mystery since the year 1971. It is a story of the only man, who hijacked the passenger plane and escaped by the parachute. That man is "Dan Cooper" or "Case Daniel" as some people call this mysterious case, where the man gets on the plane, hijacks it, asks million dollars for ransom, and jumps out there with a parachute.


This man is still wanted, and he presumed to die, but nobody has found his body. There is something strange things in that case because this man could carry a gun to the airplane, and he left some silver powder behind him. The case itself is very well known, and there are many homepages where it is very well introduced. Under this paragraph is a link to this cases "Wikipedia-page".


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D._B._Cooper

Some people think that "silver powder" was the metal called Tungsten, which number in the periodic table of elements is 74, and what is the toughest metal in the earth, so somebody thinks that "Mr. Cooper" was working in the lamp factory because tungstens filaments are made of tungsten.  The reason why this case is so interesting is just how this man able to carry a parachute and the gun to the plane.


Jumping altitude was not so high when he needed extra oxygen if he had good hemoglobin. And when "Mr. Cooper" jumped out the plane over the wilderness in the middle of nowhere, that doesn't mean that this person might not stay alive, if he had clothes, or somebody was waiting for him.  Of course "Mr. Cooper" might change the airplane, using the method, what is shown in the movie "Cliffhanger". In that method will the rope pulled between two planes, and the person who wants to change plane uses the wheel to slip to another plane.


But why this case is so fascinated? That man is not maniac in the normal way.  That metal what was found after he is very interesting because if the gun is made by the antimagnetic material like titanium, chrome-nickel or tungsten it is invisible to metal detectors. And of course, that ammunition can smuggle to the plane in the airtight box.


That is a big threat to airplane security if somebody makes a gun or the knife by titanium he can carry that thing to an airplane. In that case is very much mysteries and some people thinks that "Mr. Cooper" was worked in CIA:s secret aircraft projects. Those projects consist airplanes, what are made outside the bookkeeping of aircraft corporations. Those airplanes are used in some secret operations around the world.

The myth about stowaway in airplanes wheel chamber.

If somebody is enough mad, and that person has the strong motivator anything could happen. If somebody wants to travel secretly to some other country theoretically the best way to make that secret trip, is to hide in some airplane’s wheel box. Those trips might cause the death for those travelers, but if they have the right equipment, like warm clothes and oxygen or air bottles the trip might be possible. If we think about the world record for the parachute jump, where the parachutist used a pressurized suit, and the altitude of some ski centers, which are above 4000 meters, we must realize that if the traveler will travel with commuter airplanes, he or she might not even need an extra oxygen.


There are rumors and stories about stowaway traveling in the airplane's wheel chamber, and the most of those attempts will end, when the passenger dies in the cold and loss of the air in the altitude of 10 000 meters. So never try this at the home. But traveling in that place is possible if the traveler has the right equipment. If somebody wants to travel in wheel box of the airplane, that person needs the suit, what keeps warm inside, and that equipment is the rescue suit, what is made for the arctic conditions. That person might also use small size compressor to fill those gas bottles, but I want to say that attempt to travel in the wheel box of airplanes will have the extreme risk.

Also, the extra oxygen is needed in that kind of action. Or that person might use fishing hauler and electric blanket, what keeps that person warm. And of course, he or she needs a parachute or wingsuit, what is in the second picture, because if that person wants to come in some country secretly, that traveler must jump from the plane, before it lands to the airfield because otherwise, the airport crew will find that person. The use of wingsuit might be easier than the use of the parachute.  If I write in some text, where is mentioned, that some things are possible, that doesn’t mean that those actions are easy.


The person who wants to travel that way needs also life west if he or she needs to jump above from sea and very good parachute jump skills. The traveler must use free fall drop from the plane, because there is the need for separation, and after that, the parachute must be opened. But here is one big question. Why somebody does that? Why some persons want to hide some trips even with risking they own life.


One answer might be that some secret service or special forces operator might able to bring to the country for some secret operations, but there is another hypothesis, where somebody will able to try that kind of mission. And of course, that person must be sure, that there will not leave anything in that small chamber because in that situation the airport crew must see those stuff. That somebody might be some person, who desperately wants to escape from some country because he or she might fear for the lives.
