SERVICE SYSTEM MODULE Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B64G1/22 B64G1/40 B64G1/42 

FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: module comprises a housing with service equipment units positioned inside, a battery, a radio antenna (12), radiators-coolers (6, 9) and swing panels (8) of solar cells. The propulsion system comprises four blocks (4) of orientation and stabilization engines, two spherical fuel tanks (3) and a spherical cylinder (11) with compressed gas. There are means for fastening the module to the payload and the last stage of thelaunch vehicle. A housing in the form of an octagonal prism is designed from longitudinal struts as T channel bracket, upper (17) and similar lower transverse force elements with a profile in the form of a corner. Two pyramidical shoes (5) are mounted on opposite prism faces with their bases, two of the four propulsion units (4) are mounted on top of them. The spans between the poles are overlapped with side panels (23-27, 35).

EFFECT: reduction in module weight and size, its hardening in the perception of radial forces from the payload, the increased fuel supply on its board.
