ABSTRACT:
Greatly reduced costs for the transportation of small cargoes that can withstand extremely high decelerations and of materials from Earth and of lunar materials to a low Earth orbiting satellite is obtained by having such materials and cargoes in a crash-load that collided with much matter within the satellite's very large containing chamber seriatum. Such matter is collected by the use of tether-induced "gravity", by powerful electro-magnets or by other magnetic forces and then such matter is concentrated towards the center of such chambers by the use of catapult-pushers, a very massive tub-pusher, or by magnetic forces produced by large coils which encircle the chamber. Incoming crash-loads are centered along the center-line of such chamber by magnetic forces formed by the use of external coils of decreasing diameter that are along the trajectory of the crash-load before the chamber. The walls of a crash-load containing chamber are protected from damage from flying debris, etc. by the use of a very large and multi-layered chain-sleeve that is a de facto inner wall.
