SPACE CRAFT LANDING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B64G1/62 

FIELD: astronautics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the landing devices. Spacecraft (SC) landing device comprises landing supports, each of which includes central post having the master cylinder with the cellular energy absorber, and the attachment assembly to the SC body, the telescopic rod and the telescopic rod extension mechanism, hinged to the telescopic rod support plate, rotation angle sensor, rod extension sensor, two cables and retractable support, which rod is connected to the main cylinder, and the body is with transverse beam. Transverse beam is fixed in the landing support bay. In the central post rotation plane main cylinder is equipped with lever on the telescopic rod opposite side. Retractable support is made in the form of pneumatic cylinder. Pneumatic cylinder rod is pivotally connected to the main cylinder lever. Non-return valve inlet is connected to the compressed gas supply line from the pneumatic system, and the output is connected to the pneumatic cylinder rod cavity. Safety valve inlet is also connected to the pneumatic cylinder rod cavity, and the outlet is communicated with the atmosphere. Rotation angle sensor is mounted on the central post axis of rotation.

EFFECT: increase in the SC landing safety on the planet with complex terrain surface.
