SPACE PLATFORM Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B64G1/10 

FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to structure and arrangement of spacecrafts (SC), primarily space platforms (SP) combining service subsystems and providing operation of a payload module (PLM). SP contains an instrument compartment (IC) in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped with instruments and equipment (2), correction and orientation engines (3) (under the base of IC), rotary wings (5) of a solar panel and PLM assembly units. Some of the IC panels are radiators. The main power element for placing the SP and PLM is a central pipe (CP) (6), on which the IC is mounted. The ends of the CP (6) protrude beyond the plane of the IC panels. On the ends, there are docking points with a separation subsystem. Inside the CP, there are the tanks of the working fluid for the correction and orientation engines (3). Correction engines (3) can be located on the PLM panels (9).

EFFECT: weight reduction and increase in the density of the spacecraft arrangement created on the basis of the spacecraft, achievement of unification, possibility of simultaneous launch of several spacecrafts, and reduction of labour costs in course of the spacecraft creation.
