If I want to put an object in high orbit, around the Earth, do I have to notify anyone?

Hello ny:

I'd run it by my psychiatrist.

Yes, as you need to be licensed to launch ANYTHING into space.

Hello again, n:

If you were doing research, you COULD have said so... In the ordinary course of events, sane people don't consider launching objects into low earth orbit.

I stand by my advice.

You will have to have ( and this is not a complete list)

Permit to build a facility to launch
Permit from the government to use the air space where the rocket goes up
License and permit for having a high amount of rocket fuel needed to send a rocket up into obit.
The government will have to give permission to place a rocket into space and a object into orbit.
The government will want to inspect payload and safety

And to be honest unless you have billions of dollars there is no way to do it

Oh now that is just too funny!

But yeah, to the OP... if you had stated in your post that it was some form of research, you might have avoided this... but then, I wouldn't have had such a good laugh.

I have a possible way to safely travel in interstellar space (for humans) that will protect against lethal cosmic radiation, bone decay; but at slow speed. It will take generations to arrive to the nearest star; but psychological adaptation is a human forte. If we're lucky, FTL or time travel will rear its head. In the long-run we'll never get there if we wait for FTL. According to relativity ftl is impossible (mass traveling through space at a speed greater than light) and energy required for time-travel is too great.
