    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to an extendable conductor assembly. A conductor of the extendable conductor assembly may be extended (e.g., into a thermal target, such as a preexisting or a newly created feature of a planetary body) and used to thermally couple a rover, vehicle, fixed installation, or other hardware with the thermal target. Thus, the temperature of the hardware may be managed via heat transfer to/from the thermal target. For instance, heat may be transferred from the thermal target to maintain the temperature of the hardware under cold conditions, while excess heat may be transferred to the thermal target under hot conditions. As an example, a rover may form a borehole in the lunar surface, in which a conductor may be extended to facilitate heat transfer between the rover and the Moon accordingly.

    摘要: A satellite in accordance with the present teachings has plural "thin" (i.e., panel-like) segments, which are coupled together and extendable along the in-track direction of movement of the satellite. One or more of these segments, which is advantageously an antenna panel, has the ability to "roll" relative other segments. This enables the satellite to establish and maintain direct pointing of the antenna panel to a targeted area on the ground. The antenna panel includes linear, electronically steerable array.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a modular configuration of the launch vehicle system. More specifically, it relates to the modular configuration technology developed to optimise the launch vehicle with respect to the number of engines in the lower stage or the number of stages itself in order to get a most efficient launch possible for a particular payload being launched. In the present invention the vehicle is such that the modularity is passed down to sub-system level which thereby reduces the mass of unused components and the modifiable cluster can be used as a booster unit to carry heavier payloads to higher orbits. Depending upon the mass of the payload to be carried to a particular orbit, either the number of stages or the number of engines (601, 602, 603, 604), are either attached or removed from the vehicle and thus increasing the efficiency of the trajectory. The present invention reduces the time and cost involved in reconfiguration as well.

    摘要: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a sample collection assembly for a vehicle. The sample collection assembly includes a perforated ground-engaging member of the vehicle and an associated sample collector. For example, a perforated wheel may collect material from terrain under the vehicle as the wheel rotates (e.g., as may result from movement of the vehicle), which may fall through the perforation and into a sample collector disposed thereunder. In some examples, a ground-engaging member may include one or more grousers, paddles, or scoops, among other terrain interaction features, to further increase the amount of material that is collected. Such terrain interaction features may be unidirectional or bidirectional, thereby offering improved sample collection in one or both directions of operation, respectively. In examples, an image capture device or one or more other sensors may be used to monitor sample collection and/or to process data associated therewith.
