Abstract: A light-tuning method is provided. In the method, a filter material is first selected for filtering out unwanted light of a specific wavelength to obtain a transmittance spectrum. The transmittance spectrum is multiplied by an eye sensitivity function to obtain a filtered spectrum. The filtered spectrum has a wavelength range between 450nm and 650nm. According to a full width at half maximum (FWHM) wavelength range of the filtered eye sensitivity function, a phosphor is selected and a light-emitting spectrum of the phosphor is determined so that between the light-emitting spectrum of the phosphor and the filtered eye sensitivity function is an optimal matching degree.

Abstract: A clustered, fixed cant, throttleable rocket assembly (102) is used to propel and a steer a vessel (100) in terrestrial or extraterrestrial applications. The fixed cant of each of at least three individual rocket engines (104, 106, 108) in the cluster provides the steering input to the overall assembly (102). More specifically, by changing the propellant flow rate to the individual rocket engines (104, 106, 108) relative to one another, the overall thrust vector of the rocket assembly (102) may be selected to provide a desired steering input to the vessel (100). A measured vessel orientation may be compared with a desired vessel orientation to determine what steering input is required to achieve the desired vessel orientation.
