CARRIER ROCKET SIMULATOR Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B64G5/00 B64G7/00 F42B15/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space engineering. Proposed simulator comprises sections to simulate rocket first, second and third stages and head unit, front and rear cover simulators secured to third-stage simulator section, set of cargoes to be mounted on aforesaid sections to simulate centers of gravity, set of section storage supports and auxiliaries. Every said simulation section is composed of welded metal structure consisting of tubular frames with ring supports attached thereto to accommodate the sections at supports of subassembly trolleys or at storage supports. First-stage simulation section is equipped with cylindrical platform with outer end provided with four brackets composed of spherical center plates for assembled simulator to rest on transport-and-mount assembly ring. Tubular frames of every simulator support assemblies composed of bearing axles with removable bolts and washers to suspend appropriate simulation cargoes therefrom.

EFFECT: decreased overall dimensions, higher simulation efficiency.
