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

FIELD: astronautics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space technology, in particular to spacecraft landing devices. Landing gear contains landing supports, each of which includes a central stand, a cellular energy absorber and an attachment point to the body of the spacecraft, telescopic rod with extension mechanism, support plate hinged to the telescopic rod, two cables and a sliding stop. Force case is introduced into the landing support in the form of an isosceles trapezium, along which the cylindrical cavity is made along the axis of symmetry. Telescopic rod of the central pillar is installed in the cylindrical cavity on the side of the smaller base of the trapezium, and the power case on the side of the larger base is fixed in the compartment of the spacecraft by means of brackets. Mechanism of engagement of the rod with the piston and the cellular energy absorber in the folded position of the landing support are located inside the telescopic rod.

EFFECT: technical result of the invention is to increase the safety of the landing of a spacecraft on the surface of a planet with complex terrain.
