Abstract
Content

A mechanical device has been developed for applying an adhesive patch, from the outside, to the wall of a spacecraft module that has lost pressure because of penetration by a meteoroid or a piece of orbital debris. This device will make it possible to seal and re-pressurize the affected module during space flight. Devices identical or similar to this one might also prove useful in the repair of other pressurized bodies and similar objects, including gas and oil pipes and ship hulls, for example.
