Space Shuttles TRIZ Cases
- ISS Robotic Airlock Interface for External Payload Deployment
Robotic ISS airlock deployment expands external payload capacity using CBM and FRAM interfaces while reducing EVA and crew time.
- Removable Aerospace Leading Edge Modules with Dagger Pin Attachments
Segmented hollow box substructures with dynamic dagger pins resolve the contradiction between structural integrity and maintenance downtime.
- Spacecraft Maneuverable Cowl for Drag and Thrust Management
A maneuverable cowl element extends around a rocket nozzle to mask the exhaust during atmospheric flight.
- Spaceplane Retractable Flaps for Reentry Speed Control
Maneuverable flaps maximize drag to reduce speed while minimizing structural loads and heating on the crew compartment.
- Spacecraft Orbital Plane Change Using Atmospheric Lift
Wing lift in the atmosphere changes the orbital plane, reducing fuel consumption compared to perpendicular engine firing.
- Reusable Launch Vehicle Trajectory Correction via Wind Maps
A reusable launch vehicle system monitors position and uses aerodynamic control surfaces to adjust flight paths during ascent.
