SPACECRAFT UNIVERSAL PLATFORM Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B64G1/22 

FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: spacecraft universal platform (SUP) is a constructively and functionally separate module for the spacecraft construction. The basis of the SUP is an autonomous power structure with honeycomb panels fixed on it for placing on them only equipment of the service system modules. The SUP consists of working fluid storage tanks for propulsion systems of the correction system and the stabilization and orientation system (SOS), SOS devices, panels and drives of solar cells and partially correction system propulsion systems and SOS. Depending on the spacecraft layout and the its center-of-gravity position, the components of the SUP parts can be located in the zone of the payload module (PLM).

EFFECT: development of a spacecraft universal platform that can be designed, manufactured and tested autonomously, regardless of the spacecraft launching type, the layout of the SC PLM.
