METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B64G1/50 

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: lengthwise and crosswise structural cellular panels are composed of _structure that makes the central inner chamber and two lateral U-like chambers. Coupling heat pipes are fitted vertically outside the lengthwise structural cellular panels at central inner chamber section. Note here that manifold heat pipes are laid at said central inner chamber and secured perpendicularly to flanges of heat pipes and to crosswise cellular panels. Electric heaters are secured at every lengthwise cellular panel, one per every flange of coupling pipes. Heat dissipating instruments are arranged on outer surfaces of lengthwise cellular panels and inner surfaces of U-like chambers while heat passive units are arranged inside the central inner chamber. Evaporators of controlled radiative heat exchangers are fitted at edge zone of lengthwise cellular panels while condensers are secured at their ends. Spacecraft outer surface, except for condensers of controlled radiative heat exchangers, is coated with heat isolation.

EFFECT: perfected configuration, thermal stabilisation of instruments and equipment, ease of servicing.
