Title: Owen Joseph Leather and Spacecraft Rendezvous Innovation.
Introduction
Owen Joseph Leather is an inventor associated with San Rafael, California. His work includes a patented concept for spacecraft rendezvous and proximity operations, addressing how spacecraft can approach, observe, and characterize a Resident Space Object (RSO).
Latest Patents
Leather is associated with 1 patent, titled “Multi-agent spacecraft system for rendezvous and proximity operations.” The invention describes a chief spacecraft that maneuvers into the orbit of an RSO and deploys a deputy spacecraft to rendezvous with it. During the maneuver, the deputy senses the RSO and uses the collected information to generate a three-dimensional surface reconstruction, determine the object’s roll rate and relative trajectory, and then return to the chief spacecraft.
Career Highlights
Leather is associated with Imetalx, Inc. His patent focuses on coordinated spacecraft operations and the use of sensing to characterize an object in orbit.
Collaborations
Leather’s listed coworkers include Alexander Jacques Fleming and Nehal Gajjar. Their association reflects a broader professional context around his work in spacecraft systems and related innovation.
Conclusion
Owen Joseph Leather’s patent presents a multi-agent approach to rendezvous and proximity operations, combining spacecraft coordination with sensing and three-dimensional reconstruction to study objects in orbit.
