A method, including receiving a search query for resources that are configured to establish a connection with a space vehicle, the search query including a first value for a connection parameter; identifying one or more tactic definitions that satisfy the search query, each of the tactic definitions including one or more second values for the connection parameter, wherein at least one of the second values for the connection parameter matches the first value for the connection parameter that is included in the search query; and generating one or more tactic options, each of the tactic options being generated based on a respective one of the tactic definitions, each of the tactic options being associated with a respective resource of the tactic option.

A deformable support apparatus includes a deformable body configured to transition between at least an extended state and a contracted state where a stiffness of the deformable body in the extended state is greater than a corresponding stiffness of the deformable body in the contracted state. The deformable body includes a first member and a second member coupled to and in opposition to the first member, and arranged about a longitudinal axis. In the extended state, the first member has at least a first curved portion and the second member has at least a second curved portion. The at least a first curved portion is a positive curved portion with respect to the longitudinal axis and the at least a second curved portion is a negative curved portion with respect to the longitudinal axis.

The present invention relates to a resident space object orbit determination system comprising a high efficiency module for determining a resident space object's orbit and a highly efficient method for determining same. Applicants developed a method and system to determine the orbits of residence space objects including resident space objects that do not reflect energy that is directed at them and/or may be coated to minimize the ability to accurately see such resident space objects. Thus, a method, a module and a system for making such determinations that can easily and inexpensively be added to an early warning reentry system is provided.

An on-orbit recycling method for a buffer foam of a cargo spacecraft includes the following steps: mechanically cutting a shaped PU foam into foam micro-blocks, and putting the foam micro-blocks into a packaging bag for packaging, where the packaging bag is filled with a foaming adhesive; the foaming adhesive includes a component A and a component B, which are independently packaged in a two-component packaging bag; and the component A and the component B are separated by a film; and squeezing the film between the component A and the component B, such that the two components are fully mixed, foamed and expanded to finally burst the two-component packaging bag, where after the packaging bag is burst, the foaming adhesive expands into gaps of the foam micro-blocks; and in a microgravity state of space, the foaming adhesive expands and fills uniformly in all directions and fully infiltrates the foam micro-blocks.

An exploration method includes: a step of exploring a natural resource on a satellite, a minor planet, or a planet; a step of acquiring the natural resource detected by the exploration; and a step of storing the acquired natural resource.

The present invention explains an apparatus 100 for transporting a vehicle 111 to space comprising a vertical tower 101 having an upper end 116 and a lower end 117 wherein the lower end 117 is below sea level 108 and a horizontal pipe 102, connected to the lower end 117 of the vertical tower 101. The vertical tower 101 is filled with water and the horizontal pipe 102 extends underground to sea shore 110. The horizontal pipe 102 includes a valve 104 for outlet of water. A horizontal inlet pipe 105 connected to the vertical tower 101 below the sea level 108, wherein the horizontal inlet pipe 105 includes a valve 106 for inlet of water. A plurality of shutters 107, 113, 114, 115 placed at intervals in the vertical tower 101; and a platform 112 is provided at the upper end 116 of the vertical tower 101.

A method of assembly of a carbon fiber space frame structure eliminates the need for gusset plates at the j oints of the space frame structure. The elimination of the gusset plates at the j oints of the space frame structure reduces the weight of the space frame structure and eliminates stresses that occur at the j oints due to gusset plates attached at the j oints.

A structure, system, and method utilize horizontal hole cavities on the moon for constructing dwellings, shopping areas, factories, industrial and power plants, government offices, towns, and for unmanned robot devices where cosmic rays and ultraviolet are not directly incident. The horizontal hole cavities are also utilized to store trash such as all waste materials on the earth including waste or trash, hazardous materials, and radioactive waste as well as all waste materials on the moon including such things as waste or trash, hazardous materials, and radioactive waste. The radioactive waste includes spent fuel, radioactive soil, radioactive liquid, and radioactive material produced by nuclear power plants during normal and accident conditions. The vertical hole cavities are utilized for building elevators and stairs, and pipes supplying oxygen produced by photosynthesis devices on the moon's surface and carbon dioxide produced by humans in the cavity are used as conduits.
