Artificial gravity spin deployment system

Claim 1

A SPACE VEHICLE ADAPTED TO PROVIDE AN ARTIFICIAL GRAVITY ENVIRONMENT FOR OCCUPANTS OF THE VEHICLE, SAID VEHICLE COMPRISING: (A) A FIRST BODY SECTION; (B) A SECOND BODY SECTION; (C) RELEASABLE ATTACHMENT MEANS CONNECTING SAID FIRST AND SECOND BODY SECTIONS; (D) THRUST GENERATING MEANS MOUNTED ON A BODY SECTION FOR ROTATING SAID SPACE VEHICLE ABOUT ITS CENTER OF GRAVITY TO DEVELOP A CENTRIFUGAL FORCE THAT SEPARATES SAID FIRST AND SECOND BODY SECTIONS UPON RELEASE OF SAID ATTACHMENT MEANS; (E) RIGID SEPARATION CONTROL MEANS ATTACHED TO ONE OF SAID BODY SECTIONS AND IN ENGAGEMENT WITH SAID OTHER BODY SECTIONS DURING THE INITIAL STAGES OF SEPARATION TO CONTROL THE ALIGNMENT OF SAID FIRST AND SECOND BODY SECTIONS; AND, (F) FLEXIBLE CONNECTION MEANS CONNECTED BETWEEN SAID FIRST AND SECOND BODY SECTIONS TO CONTROL THE RATE OF SEPARATION DURING THE INITIAL STAGES OF SEPARATION, AND FURTHER, TO PERMIT ADDITIONAL SEPARATION AT A CONTROLLED RATE UNTIL A PRESELECTED SEPARATION DISTANCE HAS BEEN ACHIEVED BETWEEN SAID FIRST AND SECOND BODY SECTIONS; WHEREBY, ROTATION OF THE SEPARATED FIRST AND SECOND BODY SECTIONS ABOUT THE CENTER OF GRAVITY OF THE VEHICLE WILL GENERATE A CENTRIFUGAL FORCE THAT SIMULATES GRAVITY.
