ADAPTER FOR THE SPACE CRAFTS INSTALLATION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B64G1/00 F42B15/00 

FIELD: astronautics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aerospace engineering. Space crafts installation adapter consists of a number of structurally identical platforms, connected in series to each other by means of load-bearing booms. Lower platform is fixed to the carrier rocket (CR) by means of attachment points. Platforms are equipped with fitment holes with the possibility of the space crafts (SC) separation systems attaching therein. On the platforms on the SC installation side forming the square configuration cells channels are made. In each cell by the four fitment holes are arranged equidistant from the these cells covering channels. Channels contain pyrotechnic devices covering the fitment holes used for the SC separation systems securing. Pyrotechnic devices are enclosed with protective covers installed in grooves made on platforms on both sides along the channels. Bearing booms are equipped with separation units, ensuring mutual separation of the adjacent platforms.

EFFECT: technical result of the invention is provision of the possibility of mounting various types of SC to the adapter and increase in the SC from the CR separation reliability.
