FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to spaceship hardware meant for adjustment and calibration of radar stations. Spaceship comprises body (1) shaped to a straight round cylinder. Hinged half-disc-shaped plates (3, 4) are arranged at said body and provided with radio-reflecting surfaces (2) of V-like recess (slit). Said plates (3, 4) are locked to segments of the bed (5, 6) at in-flight position. Said body (1) houses the instrumentation module, microprocessor, microcontroller with interface unit with orientation and stabilization system and plate locking units, GPS/GLONASS navigation hardware, etc. At opened position, two-sided angular reflector is composed with the angle between the sides varying from (90-Δ)° to (90+Δ)° (0 < Δ < 18 λ/a), where λ is wavelength of calibrated radar while a is the size of said side. Bed surface supports also the trihedral laser angular reflectors.
EFFECT: enhanced performances at calibration of ground and space radars.
