Stow-and-go for Space Travel

Stow-and-go for Space Travel

Man-made satellites have to fit into a compact package. Briefly protected inside a rocket while blasted through the atmosphere, a satellite is launched into orbit to continue its unmanned mission alone. It uses gyroscopes, altitude thrusters, and magnets to regulate sun exposure and stay pointed in the right direction.

Once stable, the satellite depends on solar panels to recharge its internal batteries, mirrors, and lenses for data capture, and antennas for communications those monitoring the flight. Whether it’s a bread-loaf-sized nano, or the school-bus proportioned Hubble Telescope, every satellite is susceptible to static electricity buildup from solar wind, the freeze of the Earth’s shadow (or deep space), and tiny asteroids.

Motion Control Handbook: Retaining Rings

Retaining rings are fasteners that hold together components on a shaft when installed in a groove. Die stamping is a customary method of producing retaining rings, along with newer methods such as coiling. Rings can be made from carbon steel, stainless steel, and special alloys such as copper alloys. There are three main types of retaining rings; tapered section, constant section and spiral.
