FIELD: spacecraft propellant equipment for topping-up systems of orbital stations, type MIR.
SUBSTANCE: proposed propellant module has body and frame, oxidizer and fuel tanks, respective fittings and pressurization system. Body is made from two thin-walled truncated cones with oxidizer and fuel tanks arranged inside them. Cones are provided with electric heaters in form of jackets made from carbon cloth and secured on inner surfaces of cones. Circular clearances are formed between electric heaters and tanks. Fittings and tank pressurization systems are secured on outer surfaces of cones which are provided with detachable joints with frame. Frame is provided with holes for circulation of air through said clearances.
EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of thermostatic control of oxidizer and fuel tanks.
