DEVICE TO ILLUMINATE PHOTOELECTRIC CONVERTERS OF SPACESHIP SOLAR BATTERY Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC B64G5/00 B64G1/44 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to ground equipment for servicing spaceship with solar batteries. Proposed device comprises corrugated jacket 9 made of lightproof material and arranged on case 1. Said case houses pulse electric radiators 6 arranged in cells 7 formed by intersecting ribs 8. Frame is secured on end face of aforesaid corrugated jacket 9 to interact with solar battery section carcass along said carcass (not shown). Case 1 is equipped with height-adjustable support posts while light reflecting coat is applied onto inner surface 13. Fans may be arranged inside said case. Device may be used in check switching on of spaceship onboard hardware at space center complex. It allows testing serviceability (illumination) of photoelectric converters of section solar batteries and integrity of circuits that pick up electric power therefrom. It ensures preventing intolerable overheat of optical pulse electric emitters (LEDs).

EFFECT: expanded operating performances.
