Supporting design proposalAQUA VĀCUUM BEACON
Authenticated discovery & guidance cue
The star-shaped discovery cue in the later service-and-recovery arrangement.

Guidance / star-form beacon
- Target mass
- Package budget pending
- Target size
- Star geometry pending
- Fit / configuration
- Recovery-node mount
Beacon transmitter and its support package; separate from the rotary dock.
A mass and size budget follows selection of the signalling method and environment.

Find a candidate service node
The proposed beacon identifies a compatible Aqua Vācuum node and its available station state. Identity, message age, service compatibility and confidence must accompany a direction cue.
Guidance is not capture
The beacon remains separate from the rotary service port. A star on SOL may be a synthetic guidance symbol; it does not prove physical visibility, a safe approach or completed docking.
