B64G
COSMONAUTICS; VEHICLES OR EQUIPMENT THEREFOR (apparatus for, or methods of, winning materials from extraterrestrial sources E21C 51/00)
NOTE
-
This subclass covers only vehicles, equipment or the like, which are specially adapted for cosmonautics.

This subclass does not cover vehicles and equipment applicable to both cosmonautics and aeronautics, which are covered by the appropriate aeronautical subclasses of class B64.

In this subclass, the following term is used with the meaning indicated:
- "cosmonautics" includes all transport outside the earth`s atmosphere, and thus includes artificial earth satellites, and interplanetary and interstellar travel.
