Abstract
The system and method for decelerating space objects moving at high velocities are provided. The system comprises at least one closed volume containing a combination of gas, liquid, solid particles, or a mixture thereof. The volume can be transported to the targeted location using a range of means, including a chemical gun, light gas gun, electromagnetic coil gun, superconducting quench gun, a rocket, or a combination thereof. The volume is strategically positioned on the trajectory of the moving object. Upon penetrating the walls of the volume, the object passes through it, experiencing deceleration.
Claims25
A system for decelerating high-velocity objects comprising:
- at least one enclosed volume containing gas, liquid, solids, or a combination thereof;
- at least one wall or membrane that encloses the volume to contain gas, liquid, solids, or a combination thereof while allowing high-velocity objects to penetrate without causing ricochets or generating additional space debris.
A method for decelerating moving space objects using a system comprised of at least one closed volume containing gas, liquid, solid particles, or a combination thereof, strategically positioned on the trajectory of the moving object or group of objects to reduce their velocity effectively without causing ricochets or generating additional space debris.
