Methods, devices, and systems are described for a bracket fixture for securing a load to a soft goods layer in a space habitat. The bracket fixture includes a base having a plurality of sides, the plurality of sides having a pin parallel to its respective side, and an aperture between the pin and the respective side. The bracket fixture further includes a protrusion extending from the base, the protrusion including a fixture element.

Methods, devices, and systems are described for a core of a space habitat. The core includes a plurality of internal beams extending a length of the core. The core also includes a plurality of end rings at a first end of the core and a second end of the core, the plurality of end rings spaced the length of the core. The core also includes an internal ring coupled to the internal beams between the first end and the second end.

A method of generating a localized gravitational field and gravity in the vicinity of a block of frozen hydrogen or other solid material that has been polarized with respect to the composite internal proton and gluon spin. This is a practical application of the theory that polarized gluon spin generates an enhanced excitation of the gluon field in the vicinity of the material which in turn causes a dilation of the particulate space of loop quantum gravity and concurrent dilation of time which becomes gravity.

A filter includes a filter outer wall, and a filter inner wall spaced apart from the filter outer wall. The filter inner wall and the filter outer wall define a filter void therebetween, and the filter inner wall and the filter outer wall extend along a filter axis. A volume of filtration material is positioned in the filter void, and a plurality of baffles extend between the filter inner wall and the filter outer wall. The plurality of baffles are configured to induce a helical component to an airflow entering the filter void at a first void end relative to the filter axis and exiting the filter void at a second void end opposite the first void end.

A component assembly for a space environment includes a main body, and a plurality of main body openings in the main body. Each main body opening has an identical cross-sectional shape. A plurality of inserts are installed to the main body at respective main body openings of the plurality of main body openings. Each insert of the plurality of inserts defines a fluid port for a fluid flow to flow into the main body or out of the main body via the respective main body openings. At least two fluid ports have a different cross-sectional configuration.
