    Considering all decay modes, various models indicate a shift of the center of the island (i.e., the longest-living nuclide) from 298 Fl to a lower atomic number, and competition between alpha decay and spontaneous fission in these nuclides; [83] these include 100-year half-lives for 291 Cn and 293 Cn, [55] [78] a 1000-year half-life for 296 Cn ...

    Compatibility is commonly described by an element's distribution coefficient. A distribution coefficient describes how the solid and liquid phases of an element will distribute themselves in a mineral. Current studies of Earth's rare trace elements seek to quantify and examine the chemical composition of elements in the Earth's crust.

    This mission architecture is useful because it minimizes the mass that the spacecraft must push to GEO, allows for maximally efficient circularization burns taking advantage of the Oberth effect, and allows the spent launch vehicle to deorbit primarily through aerobraking due to its low perigee, minimizing its orbital lifetime.
