Abstract:
A space-based solar power station, a power generating satellite module and/or a method for collecting solar radiation and transmitting power generated using electrical current produced therefrom is provided. Each solar power station includes a plurality of satellite modules. The plurality of satellite modules each include a plurality of modular power generation tiles including a photovoltaic solar radiation collector, a power transmitter and associated control electronics. The power transmitters can be coordinated as a phased array and the power generated by the phased array is transmitted to one or more power receivers to achieve remote wireless power generation and delivery. Each satellite module may be formed of a compactable structure capable of reducing the payload area required to deliver the satellite module to an orbital formation within the space-based solar power station.

Abstract:
A device (10) for securing a mobile device (60) in an aircraft cabin comprises a first connection element (12) having a bar receiving member (18). The device (10) further has a second connection element (14) which comprises a bar (26) which is suitable for co-operating with the bar receiving member (18) of the first connection element (12), the bar (26) being moveable between an unlocking position and a locking position, in which the bar (26) of the second connection element (14) is able to be brought into engagement with the bar receiving member (18) of the first connection element.
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Bauteil eines Raumfahrzeugs, welches doppelwandig ausgeführt ist, bei dem sich zwischen beiden Wänden (1, 2) Stützstrukturen (3) und ein Latentwärmespeichermedium (4) befinden und wobei das Bauteil mittels 3-D-Druck hergestellt ist. Damit wird eine passive Temperaturstabilisierung mittels Latentwärmespeicherung erreicht, ohne dass das Gewicht eines eigenen Bauteils mitgeführt werden muss.
Abstract:
A space-based solar power station, a power generating satellite module and/or a method for collecting solar radiation and transmitting power generated using electrical current produced therefrom, and/or compactible structures and deployment mechanisms used to form and deploy such satellite modules and power generation tiles associated therewith are provided. Each satellite module and/or power generation tile may be formed of a compactable structure and deployment mechanism capable of reducing the payload area required to deliver the satellite module to an orbital formation within the space-based solar power station and reliably deploy it once in orbit.
