Artificial gravity refers to the use of technology to replicate the effects of a gravitational force. Common amongst spacefaring civilizations, it is vital aboard spacecraft and space stations to combat the muscle and…
Automated Hydrogen Fuel Harvesting Platforms
Automated hydrogen fuel harvesting platforms are space stations set in stable orbit around hydrogen-rich gas giants that harvest and process hydrogen into spacecraft fuel. While they are fully automated, they are not…
Emergency Communication Network (ECN)
The Emergency Communication Network, popularly called the ECN, is a government-operated system of communication satellites and space stations in the United Empire of Earth (UEE). Designed to facilitate stable…
Orbital Platform
An orbital platform is a space station, generally constructed for one purpose, that orbits a celestial body such as a planet, asteroid, or star. Orbital platforms have been used as bases for fuel refineries,…
Buoy
A buoy is an object positioned at a stationary point in space. Buoys are most frequently used to mark specific points of interest in space either to warn spacecraft of a particular danger, like an asteroid field, or to…
Hydrogen Fuel
Hydrogen fuel is a colorless, odorless fuel derived from hydrogen that is primarily used to power conventional spacecraft engines during non quantum flight. It is mostly collected by spacecraft during flight via a fuel…
