The deployment spacecraft should be largely built with conventional satellite technology.
Work needed on the cimber:
| Item | Notes |
| Overall system engineering | Overall satellite constraints and components need to be defined along with the trade-offs for overall performance and subcomponents |
| Categorize available electromagnetic propulsion systems of the size required | Define, performance, mass, maturity, cost, |
| Examine large scale ribbon spooling techniques | |
| Ribbon deployment | dynamics, speed, matching tension in multiple ribons, attaching ribbons end-to-end. |
| Overall structure design | Minimize mass, design to handle oscillations, operation in unidirectional gravity field (0 - 0.1G) |
| Retrieving the end of the ribbon at Earth | General scenario, issues, end unit design, performance requirements |
| Operations | Work out a detailed operational scenario including fault handling, despooling and speed control |
