Abstract

SPEC-351-CORE establishes a rigorous, non-contact orbital re-boost methodology designed to counteract atmospheric decay in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) civilian science assets, specifically optimized for the structural parameters of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). Traditional interventions introduce unacceptable mechanical collision vectors, contamination risks, and immense structural loads to aging spacecraft hulls. This specification eliminates physical contact by utilizing high-temperature superconducting (HTS) magnetic arrays mounted on an autonomous chaser vehicle to induce localized, time-varying eddy currents within the target's conductive aluminum shell. By applying the principles of Material Volumetric Monism and Conformal Metric-Shift Mechanics, the induced magnetic fields synthesize a controlled, repulsive Lorentz force. This force scales linearly across the target's geometry to provide a smooth, distributed velocity vector ($\Delta v$) capable of raising orbital altitude without physical docking mechanisms, harpoons, or nets.
