摘要： When a deorbiting satellite, which is one of artificial satellites belonging to a first satellite constellation, deorbits and drops from an orbit of a first orbital altitude zone, a second satellite constellation widens a relative angle of any adjacent two orbital planes of a plurality of orbital planes and thereby allocates a free orbit area in a second orbital altitude zone. The deorbiting satellite passes through the free orbit area of the second orbital altitude zone.

摘要： A monitoring satellite system includes a space development agency (SDA) satellite investigating a threat object; and a monitoring satellite group including a plurality of monitoring satellites that orbit the Earth at intervals from each other and monitor flying objects, wherein each monitoring satellite monitors the flying object when at a location that allows monitoring of the flying object, and the monitoring satellite, upon discovering the threat object to the flying object while monitoring the flying object, transmits information about the threat object to the other monitoring satellites, the information about the threat object is a mission command that instructs the SDA satellite to investigate the threat object, and of the multiple monitoring satellites that transmit or receive the mission command, the monitoring satellite that is in a location that allows communication with the SDA satellite transmits the mission command to the SDA satellite.

摘要： A pair of interconnected vertical solar arrays at two preselected lunar sites are provided. A cable transmits power between one of the vertical solar arrays and the other vertical solar array, so that one of the vertical solar arrays can send collected energy to other vertical solar array, when the other vertical solar array is not collecting energy, to maintain the temperature of the other vertical solar array. A power storage device receives solar energy from the vertical solar arrays. A charging interface distributes energy to one or more lunar devices on the lunar surface. A landing vehicle has a payload thereon for carrying at least one of the pair of interconnected vertical solar arrays, the cable, the power storage device, and the charging interface.

摘要： A cube satellite deployer system having a body plate, a communication unit, a power unit, and a control unit. The body plate is adapted to be connected to a space arm assembly. The communication unit and the power unit are attached to the body plate. Each of the communication unit, power unit, and the control unit are in communication with one another. The body plate is also adapted to receive one or more cube satellite housings. The cube satellite housings are adapted to house and selectively launch one or more of the cube satellites that are housed by the cube satellite housings.
