Capture devices are mounted on a space platform such as a spacecraft or utility satellite. Rather, the target, which is homogeneously manufactured of sputtering material, is mechanically coupled to an adapter, which is itself permanently affixed to the chamber. Diagnostic data may then be stored and later retrieved so that debugging and monitoring may be accomplished without disturbing the normal processing of requests by the server. The method comprises the steps of:. The solar generated heat can be directly transferred from the solar receiver to the compressed air as the compressed air flows through receiver tubes of the solar receiver, or the solar receiver can transfer the solar generated heat to a liquid metal, with the liquid metal transferring thermal energy to the compressed air.
