Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B64G 1/64

US Classification:

2441725, 2441724

Abstract:

An in-space spacecraft servicing system () includes a servicing spacecraft () and a propellant module (). The servicing spacecraft includes a client servicing system (), as well as navigation avionics () for independent flight operation and a servicing propellant tank (). The propellant module moves the servicing module from an upper stage drop off location and releases it in proximity to a client spacecraft () for a servicing mission. It has a propellant tank () with capacity for multiple missions and is used to refill the servicing spacecraft's propellant tanks between missions. Either or both the servicing spacecraft and the propellant module may have navigation avionics. The servicing spacecraft also has a universal docking adaptor () for different client spacecraft, and can convert a client spacecraft from non-cooperative to cooperative.

Appl. No.:

12/851699

Inventors:

Leora Peltz - Pasadena CA, US
Wayne Johnson - Dadeville AL, US

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
Auburn University - Auburn AL

International Classification:

H01L 21/48

US Classification:

438118, 438106, 438119, 438122, 257698, 257701

Abstract:

A semiconductor die is attached to a packaging substrate by a patterned layer of conductive metal that includes voids. The voids provide a space into which the metal may expand when heated in order to avoid placing mechanical stress on the bonds caused by mismatches in the thermal coefficients of thermal expansion of the die, the conductive metal bond layer and the substrate. An additional coating of conductive metal may be flowed over the bond lines to reinforce the bonds.

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

B64G 1/66

US Classification:

2441718

Abstract:

An integrated instrumentation system includes a body comprising a thermal protection system (TPS) material (e. g. , an ablatable material), one or more sensors embedded within the body, and a processor (e. g. , an FPGA or the like) communicatively coupled to the plurality of sensors. The processor is configured to acquire sensor signals from the plurality of sensors and produce digital sensor data associated therewith. The sensors may include, for example, recession sensors, pressure transducers, thermocouples, and accelerometers.
