SPACE VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B64G1/00 

FIELD: astronautics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the space equipment. In the method, the spacecraft contains two telescopes mounted on the support nodes of the upper belt of the truss, and a module of service systems. Said upper truss belt contains six support nodes, and the lower one contains eight. Said four support nodes of the upper belt of the truss are aligned with the vertices of the deltoid, and the two are located symmetrically relative to its long diagonal and aligned with the sides of the deltoid. Said case of the utility systems module is made in the form of a regular straight octahedral prism, along the edges of which the longitudinal posts are missing. Further, the length of the larger diagonal of the deltoid is chosen longer, and the length of the short diagonal is chosen as the smaller overall transverse size of the utility systems module. And the supporting nodes of the lower belt of the truss are rigidly fixed on the longitudinal posts of the body, and their upper ends are tightened with rods of a flat truss.

EFFECT: technical result of the invention is to ensure the strength and rigidity of the power circuit of the spacecraft, the possibility of placing two telescopes with different weights on board.
