FIELD: specialized spacecraft for refilling self-contained spacecraft with cryogenic agents (liquid nitrogen, liquid helium) and propellant components (liquid oxygen, liquefied methane, hydrazine).
SUBSTANCE: proposed filling module has load-bearing skeleton in form of hexahedral prism and peripheral coupling units, movable truss structure equipped with additional power electric drives and quick-detachable locking devices. Truss has open inner space where changeable cryogenic and propellant reservoirs are located for storage and transportation of cryogenic agents and propellant components. Availability of locking devices and movable truss structure makes it possible to perform repeated operations of replacing empty reservoirs of self-contained spacecraft with filled ones.
EFFECT: extended functional capabilities of orbital filling module; considerable reduction of losses of components (up to 5-7% of total mass).
