DEVICE FOR GROUP INJECTION OF SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: rocketry and space engineering; devices for group injection of spacecraft. SUBSTANCE: proposed device includes load-bearing structure of adapter with landing surfaces. Load-bearing structure of adapter is made in form of truss whose side landing surfaces are located perpendicularly relative to at inclination relative to plane of coupling with rocket. Systems for separation of associated spacecraft are mounted on first of said planes and system for separation of main spacecraft is mounted on second plane; separation system is made in form of four brackets with lock-pushers oriented in pairs in zone of location of separation system of associated spacecraft. Each bracket and separation systems of associated spacecraft are made in form of two parts interconnected by means of locks-pushers: one part is rigidly secured on truss and other part is provided with fastening units for securing with spacecraft. EFFECT: facilitated procedure of mechanical coupling of spacecraft with adapter. 8 dwg
