20080230655 | Air barrier for use with an expandable structure - An air barrier having a scuff coating is used in connection with the core of a spacecraft to form an inflatable, or expandable, human habitat module. The air barrier is comprised of a number of segments joined together to form a enclosure that has at least one opening. The joined segments are generally gas impermeable, flexible, and have a scuff coating on both sides of the segments. | 09-25-2008 |
20120318928 | Spacecraft magnetic shield - A spacecraft magnetic shield apparatus is disclosed. One embodiment has an armature attached at one end of a spacecraft and an electromagnet attached to the other end. A computer determines the position of the armature and electromagnet in relation to the spacecraft, and a power source powers the electromagnet. In operation, the positioning of the electromagnet is generally in line with incoming charged particles or ion radiation and powering of the electromagnet creates a magnetic field that deflects a percentage of the incoming charged particles or ion radiation from directly impacting the spacecraft. | 12-20-2012 |
20130327894 | Spacercraft Shield - A spacecraft carbon nanotube shield is disclosed. Shield segments are produced in a facility in space. The segments are transported from the facility to a vicinity of a spacecraft hull. The segments are assembled over the hull to substantially cover an area of the hull. | 12-12-2013 |
20140319282 | Space station configuration - An inflatable module space station is disclosed. The module has an avionics architecture designed for the module serving as a space station. The module also has at least one hundred and eighty cubic meters of internal habitable volume and at least one window. The module is capable of supporting at least two humans in a zero gravity environment for at least one month. There is also a propulsion bus designed for a space station and attached to the module. Furthermore, there is a docking mechanism designed for a space station and attached to the module. The module is capable of orbiting a mass like a planet or moon. The space station can be one or multiple expandable modules. | 10-30-2014 |
20150053823 | Spacecraft capture tug - A spacecraft capture tug is disclosed. The tug can capture objects in space, including spacecraft and satellites, using an engagement system and provide propulsion for the object to a point of servicing, repair, or other desired operations. Further, the tug may dock with other specialty tugs to form a custom transport system. | 02-26-2015 |
20150090841 | Transport Landing Vehicle - A transport landing vehicle for transferring an astronaut to and from an extraterrestrial mass such as a moon, asteroid, or small planet is disclosed. The transport landing vehicle has a cage that is substantially open to the outside environment. | 04-02-2015 |
20150090842 | Airlock with enlarged viewports - An airlock that provides a substantially 360 view using enlarged viewports is disclosed. | 04-02-2015 |

20110079505 | SYSTEM TO CONTINUOUSLY PRODUCE CARBON FIBER VIA MICROWAVE ASSISTED PLASMA PROCESSING - A method for continuously processing carbon fiber including establishing a microwave plasma in a selected atmosphere contained in an elongated chamber having a microwave power gradient along its length defined by a lower microwave power at one end and a higher microwave power at the opposite end of the elongated chamber. The elongated chamber having an opening in each of the ends of the chamber that are adapted to allow the passage of the fiber tow while limiting incidental gas flow into or out of said chamber. A continuous fiber tow is introduced into the end of the chamber having the lower microwave power. The fiber tow is withdrawn from the opposite end of the chamber having the higher microwave power. The fiber to is subjected to progressively higher microwave energy as the fiber is being traversed through the elongated chamber. | 04-07-2011 |
