Systems and methods for utilizing a terrain are disclosed. Two vehicles, each with a mast consisting of a shaft and an auger are provided. The auger attaches to the surface to stabilize the mast. The shaft is attached to a set of cables that run between the two vehicles. Support poles traverse the cables and stabilize the cables. A utilization device travels the cables and utilizes the terrain.

Systems and devices for storing a fluid in a reinforced bladder is disclosed. A flexible bladder is configured to store the fluid. An exoskeleton is configured to conform to and protect the flexible bladder on all sides. The combination of the flexible bladder and the exoskeleton results in the reinforced bladder.

Devices and systems for fluid storage and transport

A method and apparatus, constructed of ceramics and other corrosion resistant materials, for decomposing sulfuric acid into sulfur dioxide, oxygen and water using an integrated boiler, superheater, and decomposer unit comprising a bayonet-type, dual-tube, counter-flow heat exchanger with a catalytic insert and a central baffle to increase recuperation efficiency.

Integrated boiler, superheater, and decomposer for sulfuric acid decomposition

A preferred In Orbit Transportation & Recovery System (IOSTAR&#x2122;)() includes a space tug powered by a nuclear reactor (). The IOSTAR&#x2122; includes a collapsible boom () connected at one end to a propellant tank () which stores fuel for an electric propulsion system (). This end of the boom () is equipped with docking hardware () that is able to grasp and hold a satellite () and as a means to refill the tank (). Radiator panels () mounted on the boom () dissipate heat from the reactor (). A radiation shield () is situated next to the reactor () to protect the satellite payload () at the far end of the boom (). The IOSTAR&#x2122; () will be capable of accomplishing rendezvous and docking maneuvers which will enable it to move spacecraft between a low Earth parking orbit and positions in higher orbits or to other locations in our Solar System.
