Appendix J–L: Stakeholders, Technology Readiness and Patents
Where is the technology ready today, and where are the gaps?
Chapter summary
The final appendices record the twelve stakeholder interviews behind the study, assess the readiness of every subsystem against the levels needed at design review and launch, survey the patent landscape, and list the sources.
Key takeaways
- 1
Bus, power, attitude control and ground segment are flight-proven at TRL 7–9; none needs development.
- 2
The moderate gaps are all in the datacentre itself: the GPU payload and its cooling at TRL 4–5, and the orbital workload scheduler at TRL 3–4.
- 3
The patent landscape is low risk for freedom to operate; the study recommends filing on the multi-GPU thermal architecture and the eclipse-aware scheduler.
