METHOD OF MAKING UP SPACECRAFT AND SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B64G1/16 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space engineering and may be used for making up the modular spacecraft. Spacecraft comprises base unit, onboard engine, docking assembly with docking units, attachment and separation locks, sliding beams with crosswise docking units attachment and rotation assemblies, pair-wise sync separation mechanisms and fuel lines. Accelerating units are coupled with base units and turned through 90 degrees along spacecraft lengthwise axis to lock its position. Aforesaid pair of symmetric accelerating engines generates acceleration pulse then, used accelerating units and coupling unit are separated.

EFFECT: fuel savings and reliable operation of spacecraft.
