Abstract: Techniques for generating an architectural design for a given site map are described herein. The system can include a generative system configured to process a distribution of parameters to generate a result for the site map and an optimizer configured to determine an update for the distribution of parameters to optimize for one or more performance metrics. The system can obtain, from memory, the distribution of parameters. Additionally, the system can process, using the generative system, the distribution of parameters to generate a first result, the first result being associated with a digital representation of the architectural design for the specific site map. Moreover, the system can calculate, using a fitness function, a first performance value associated with the one or more performance metrics based on the first result. Furthermore, the system can determine, using the optimizer, an update for the distribution of parameters based on the first result.

Abstract: An anchor-slot tape node may include a circuit board configured with a processor, memory, sensors, and a low-power wireless communication interface. The anchor-slot tape node may include a stiffener positioned over the circuit board. The anchor-slot tape node may include a battery positioned beneath the circuit board. The anchor-slot tape node may include an outer casing enclosing the battery, the circuit board, and the stiffener, wherein the anchor-slot tape node is shaped and sized to fit within an anchor-slot of a ULD pallet and to be retained within the anchor-slot by friction between the outer casing and internal structure of the anchor-slot.

Abstract: A space-based solar power station, a power generating satellite module and/or a method for collecting solar radiation and transmitting power generated using electrical current produced therefrom, and/or compactible structures and deployment mechanisms used to form and deploy such satellite modules and power generation tiles associated therewith are provided. Each satellite module and/or power generation tile may be formed of a compactable structure and deployment mechanism capable of reducing the payload area required to deliver the satellite module to an orbital formation within the space-based solar power station and reliably deploy it once in orbit.
