Abstract: Embodiments provide a spacecraft airlock system. Embodiments provide a method and apparatus for attaching space exposed payloads to a space station. The spacecraft airlock system provides a defined volume of space payload to the international space station. The airlock further includes a means of attaching to a space station, a closed structure attached to said means, said means of attaching is capable of robotic manipulation, and a cooling system for cooling payload components within said closed structure.

Abstract: Various seed, soil, and plant treatment compositions, methods of applying such compositions, and the like are described herein. The treatment compositions can comprise one or more zinc compounds, one or more iron compounds, and/or one or more molybdenum compounds. Applications of the treatment compositions can include being placed in-furrow, side-dressed in fields, used as foliar treatments, broadcast in soil, tilled in soil, or otherwise applied to seeds, soils, or plants.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for deploying satellites is disclosed a satellite deployment mechanism includes an enclosure having at least one door, a lift table implemented therein, and a spring arranged to apply force to the lift table. A mounting system is arranged to allow for the satellite deployment mechanism to be mounted to a portion of a spacecraft. Responsive to opening the at least one door, the spring may cause the lift table to eject one or more satellites from the enclosure.

Abstract: Spacecraft with increased cargo capacities, and associated systems and methods are disclosed, A representative spacecraft system includes a launch vehicle elongated along a launch vehicle axis and having at least one stage carrying a corresponding rocket engine. The representative system further includes an annular support structure carried by the at least one stage and positioned to support a cargo spacecraft having a service module and a cargo module.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe seed, soil, or plant treatment compositions comprising a macronutrient source comprising or consisting of a mineral lactate. Embodiments also describe methods of synthesizing a mineral lactate comprising providing a solution of lactic acid in a first vessel; contacting the solution of lactic acid with a mineral precursor to form a reaction solution in which at least a portion of the mineral precursor is dissolved; allowing the reaction to proceed or optionally transferring the reaction solution to a second vessel where the reaction is allowed to proceed; and optionally reducing the solid mineral lactate to a select particle size to obtain a rapidly soluble solid mineral lactate. Embodiments also describe methods of applying a treatment composition to a seed, soil, or a plant, wherein the treatment composition comprises a macronutrient source comprising or consisting of a mineral lactate.
