FRAME OF RADAR ANTENNA FOR SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC H01Q1/14 B64G1/22 

FIELD: space.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to equipment deployed outside spacecraft (SC), and can be used at spacecraft for remote probing of Earth's surface. Frame of radar antenna (RLA) of SC is made in form of wings with articulated supports (2, 3, 4) and (6, 7, 8). On them are fixed by means of posts with accurate surfaces antenna web. Wings are equipped with individual deployment tools in working position in form of spring mechanisms with pulleys (23) and flexible links (21). One end thrust are fixed on extreme support assemblies (2) and (8) and pass around rollers (22). Other ends are fixed on pulleys (23). Central support (5) is fixed brackets (11) on body (10) of SC in the plane located at an angle of 5° to axis (Z) of SC. For accurate positioning in open position at joints of adjacent beds at one of their ends fixed mechanical part, and other is mating magnetic part of magnetomechanical stops. In transport position supports wings RADAR ANTENNA folded in two packets and closed by spring-loaded folding levers with explosive bolts.

EFFECT: technical result is improvement of reliability, simplified design and reduced material consumption of frame of radar antenna.
