SPACECRAFT UNDOCKING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLY AND INSTALLATION THEREOF Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC B64G1/64 F42B15/36 

FIELD: space.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aerospace engineering and can be used in systems for separation of space vehicles. Spacecraft undocking system arranged between load bearing structure of carrier rocket (CR) and spacecraft comprises a housing consisting of bearing supports and walls with locks and pushers, bolt joints, discretely arranged on housing perimeter damping elements made up of rubber gaskets and plate-type stops with threaded holes, an intermediate frame, fasteners, threaded connecting elements. Installed on top of body of system of separation locks and pushers installed damping elements on intermediate frame, reduced damping elements, controlled compression force damping units, damping elements are fixed in compressed state relative to intermediate frame fixed by means of locks and pushers intermediate frame to upper part of body to lower end of body, said spacecraft to upper part of body, body with spacecraft coupled via intermediate frame installed and fixed by tightening bolt joints on bearing structure CR via damping elements.

EFFECT: invention reduces load on spacecraft, simplifies installation of spacecraft on CR.
