METHOD FOR CONFIGURATION OF RECEIVING SYSTEM OF GEOSTATIONARY SPACECRAFT TO COMMUNICATE WITH LOW-ORBIT OBJECTS OF ROCKET AND SPACE EQUIPMENT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B64G1/22 

FIELD: radio engineering, communication.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to onboard equipment of geostationary spacecrafts (SC) for relaying data between low-orbit SC and control centers and for receiving messages. In the antenna rod (14) close to the reflector (13) of a parabolic antenna there are two blocks (16,17), mounted with the help of mounting plates (19), of low-noise repeater amplifiers operating in the same frequency bands. When in operation, the spacecraft block (16) is placed on the north side of the rod (14) and the block (17) is on the south side. The side surfaces of the block housings are heat-insulated (from direct sun rays) and the open (upper or lower) surface serve as an emitting radiator. During equinox periods the blocks (16, 17) are equally illuminated by the Sun (mainly on the insulated side). In solstice periods mainly one of the blocks is heated by sun rays, and the other one is in the shadow of the rod (14).

EFFECT: better quality of the repeater receiving system by improving the temperature operating conditions of the system elements.
