Space One. , or Space One (スペースワン), is a Japanese aerospace manufacturer, orbital launch service provider, and spaceport operator. It is a private spaceflight company developing and operating the KAIROS orbital launch vehicle for small satellite launches; KAIROS flew its unsuccessful maiden flight in March 2024. The company was founded by investments from  (a listed subsidiary of Canon), IHI Aerospace (a subsidiary of IHI Corporation), Shimizu Corporation and the Development Bank of Japan in July 2018.

Rockets 

The namesake of the KAIROS rocket, or Kii-based Advanced & Instant Rocket System, is the Greek word Kairos, which means 'time' and is also an alternate spelling of the name of Caerus, the Greek deity of luck and opportunity.

Launch site 

Shimizu Corporation constructed Space One's own launch site for KAIROS, named Spaceport Kii, as Japan's first-ever private sector spaceport, in Kushimoto, Wakayama, Japan between 2019 and 2021. The launch site provides access to various orbit inclinations.

This spaceport is accessible from Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport) via Nanki–Shirahama Airport in approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes, and from Kansai International Airport in approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.

Accidents and incidents

Inaugural flight explosion 
On March 13, 2024, Kairos rocket exploded moments into its maiden voyage, aiming to become the first Japanese private company to deploy a satellite into orbit. The 59-foot solid-fueled rocket disintegrated shortly after liftoff from the Kii peninsula in western Japan, leaving behind debris and a cloud of smoke; there were no immediate reports of injuries.

Welding table. A welding table is a type of workbench used for holding workpieces during welding. They are made of fireproof and electrically conductive materials, and often have good possibilities for clamping workpieces down, providing increased stability, precision and security. In addition to a welding machine and personal protective equipment, they are often used together with accessories such as measuring tools, magnets and angles. Some welders build their own welding tables.

Fire safety 

They are often made of steel, and some welding tables have a zinc plating to prevent slag from sticking to the table. The table can withstand high temperatures and splashes of hot slag, unlike a wooden table which can catch fire more easily. This reduces the risk of risk of fire.

Grounding 
They are often connected to ground to prevent voltage leaks during work and to protect the welder from electrical shocks, but also to prevent radio noise from the welding process which otherwise can affect nearby electronics.

Ergonomics 

Most tables have an adjustable height so that the welder can sit or stand in a comfortable and ergonomic position. 

Some also have the possibility for the work surface to be tilted or rotated so that the workpiece can get the desired position and orientation (pose).

Mass, size and mobility 
The space available and the size of the things to be welded will dictate the need. Some tables are very heavy and solid, and can withstand heavy workpieces, while other models are lighter and can only withstand lighter workpieces.

Stationary tables 
Some tables are heavy, tough and stable, and are meant to be stationary in one place in a workshop, and are capable of withstanding loads from very heavy objects. A permanent welding table usually has a length of at least 2 meters.

Mobile tables 
Some tables are portable so that they can be moved around the workshop as needed, for example in the form of mobile trolley tables with lockable wheels. There has been a trend with smaller tables that can be put together to form a longer work surface depending on the shape and size of what is to be welded, following a similar principle as a sawhorse. Some tables are extendable so that the size can be reduced or increased as necessary.

SS 1600 class. The SS 1600 class, later redesignated as the CC50 class, is a  articulated Mallet type steam locomotive previously operated by the Staatsspoorwegen (SS), which was built by Werkspoor and the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works (SLM).

History 
The Staatsspoorwegen (SS) ordered 30 1600 class Mallets from several European firms such as Werkspoor and the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works (SLM) between 1927-1928. They worked on mountainous lines such as the Cibatu-Garut-Cikajang lines and the Purwakarta-Padalarang lines. The 1600s distinguished themselves by pulling a train weighing 1,300 tons at a speed of , and also with their good cornering abilities. During the Japanese occupation, the 1600s were redesignated as the CC50s, and continued to be used from the DKARI era to the PJKA era.

With all the advantages possessed by the CC50, this locomotive is also used for the Purwakarta, Cibatu, Purwokerto, Ambarawa, and Madiun. In fact, Cibatu is one of the main bases for all Mallet type locomotives.

In 1981, number 22 of Purwokerto was donated by PJKA to the Utrecht Railway Museum, as a symbol of friendship between Indonesia and the Netherlands. This locomotive unit was then returned to its original numbering, namely the SS 1622 series. Apart from that, number 19 of Purwakarta became the main star in the War of Independence themed film entitled The Last Train in the same year.

The impact of the policy of rationalizing steam locomotives to diesel locomotives meant that the CC50 had to retire in 1984 after the end of its service period spent on the Cibatu-Garut route which began to close that same year. Its existence was displaced and replaced by various diesel locomotives, plus at that time the CC 201 locomotives had just been imported.

Preservation 

Currently, there are only 3 CC50 units left, namely CC5001, CC5022, and CC5029. CC5001 is at the Transportation Museum Taman Mini Indonesia Indah, Jakarta. Before being taken to TMII for preservation, this locomotive unit first obtained components that were cannibalized from other CC50 units, for example the tender taken from CC5019. CC5022 is in the Utrecht Railway Museum, Netherlands, and CC5029 is in the Ambarawa Railway Museum.

Altair-class training ship. The Altair class is a series of training ships in use by the Swedish Navy within the Swedish Naval Warfare Centre. It is the newest and only class of training ships in service with the Swedish Navy that isn't schooners.

History 
After the ageing fleet of minesweepers from the 1940s, then used as training ships, could no longer reach safety requirements to have an operating crew onboard, the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration began a search for an already existing class to commission, but to no avail due to the strict requirements given. Therefore a new project was initiated in 2004 to design a new vessel that would fill all requirements that other boats couldn't. This decision would prove itself to be cheaper and overall better.

Although original plans was to acquire 6 ships of the class, the tight budget given only allowed for 5 to be built.

Etymology 
As a collective decision by Gen. Håkan Syrén, RAdm. Anders Grenstad and RAdm. Leif Nylander, all ships were to be named after stars in the asterism Pleiades.

Design 
With a hull made out of aluminum and a length of roughly 26 meters as well as a beam of 6 meters, each ship has an expected service life of 25 years. Although the ships aren't built for combat duties they still maintain the ability to be modified into a buoy boat for submarine hunting if the need arises. The ships may also be fitted with M2 Brownings (Designation "Kulspruta 88") although it isn't standard issue.
