1248604812/2/2025Blue Origin ManufacturingHuntsville, ALHorizontal integration tooling for launch vehicles, and associated systems and methodsA representative system includes an alignment tool for aligning attachment interfaces of horizontally-oriented launch vehicle portions. The tool can include a receiver assembly for connecting to a first launch vehicle portion and an actuation assembly for connecting to a second launch vehicle portion. When a first connecting element of the receiver assembly is engaged with a second connecting element of the actuation assembly, the second connecting element can apply force to the receiver assembly, and the actuator assembly applies an opposite force to the second launch vehicle portion, to alig...
1248951812/2/2025Urugus S.A.Montevideo, System for planetary-scale analyticsA smart satellite system is capable of decision making and prioritization on the fly to optimize the use of downlink bandwidth to deliver prioritized data based upon opportunity and the resources of available payloads. By providing a satellite system with substantial processing power and a level of autonomy, the satellite is able to make decisions about capturing imagery data, including image data processing, object detection, image segmentation, and re-orientation of the satellite based upon the opportunity, from the satellite's perspective, for capturing image data of areas or objects of int...
1248951912/2/2025EUTELSAT SAIssy-les-Moulineaux, Methods for the transmission of data between a resource constrained device and a non-geostationary satellite and associated systemA method for the transmission to a non-geostationary satellite of data stored by a ground-based device being carried out by the device, includes entering an awaken mode, performing successive Doppler shift estimations: receiving, by the device during the awaken mode, a signal from the satellite including a frequency parameter and an elevation emission criterion, performing a Doppler shift estimation based on the frequency of the received signal; estimating a Doppler rate of frequency change to obtain a relative position of the device, defining a transmission window during which the position of...
