Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described herein include innovative engagement devices. Exemplary engagement devices may include on or more tape spring systems. The tape spring system may include a continuous or segmented bi-stable tape spring. The tape spring can be stowed in a rolled up configuration, extended to a deployed configuration, and then triggered to return to a retracted configuration.

Abstract: A rocket morphing aerial vehicle has a first rocket configuration and a second aerial vehicle configuration. The rocket morphing aerial vehicle may be used to deploy an aerial vehicle at further distances faster. The rocket configuration may be used to get the aerial vehicle to its desired location, while the aerial vehicle is used for the desired task. The rocket morphing aerial vehicle may include a deceleration mechanism such that the speed of the rocket does not interfere with the deployment of the aerial vehicle.

Abstract: A solar sail includes a bus and a plurality of separate movable vanes coupled to the bus. Each movable vane includes a reflective surface for generating solar radiation pressure and propel the solar sail in space. Each vane may be movable relative to the bus in a fully deployed configuration such that an amount of thrust generated by solar radiation pressure on each vane is controllable.
