Abstract: Payload containers containing temperature modulators and coolant containers containing coolant movably coupled inside of an outer container. Temperature modulators contain one or more solutions that directionally freeze when the product container is in contact with the coolant container, exerting force to push thermal conductors apart. When thermal conductors are apart, air flow and thermal conduction from the coolant container to the payload container is reduced, thereby stopping the cooling of the payload container. When the one or more solutions melt, the thermal conductors reconnect, reestablishing the cooling of the payload container. The modulation allows the payload to stay within safe temperature ranges.

Abstract: A satellite communication network includes one or more satellites and multiple ground stations, or ground stations. An originating ground station receives an Internet communication, determines when a satellite will be within range, and transmits a stream of data packets including part or all of the communication to the satellite when in communication range. The satellite either forwards the data packets to another satellite, or determines when a destination ground station will be in sight and transmits the data packets to the destination ground station when in range.
