| 20090101757 | Architecture and method of constructing a Geosynchronous Earth Orbit platform using solar electric propulsion - A space construction method and system transports construction materials, a propellant depot, solar electric propulsion (SEP) vehicles, and robotic equipment from Earth into a lower-Earth orbit. The SEP vehicles are used to transport payload between the lower-Earth orbit and a construction area in higher-Earth orbit, such as GEO. The robotic equipment transfers materials between various vehicles and assembles the transported construction materials in the higher-Earth orbit. A tug SEP vehicle transports heavier construction materials from the propellant depot in lower-Earth orbit to the construction area in higher-Earth orbit. A propulsion stage SEP vehicles transport lighter construction materials from the propellant depot to the construction area. The tug is also transports the fuel-depleted propulsion stages from higher-Earth orbit back to the propellant depot in lower-Earth orbit, where both the tug and the propellant stages are refueled and reloaded for another trip to the construction area in higher-Earth orbit. As additional supplies they are transported from Earth to the propellant depot in lower-Earth orbit. | 04-23-2009 |
