METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING THE SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B64G1/00 B64G1/40 

FIELD: astronautics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space technology and can be used in the design of automatic spacecraft for operation in near-earth orbits with non-hermetic instrument containers made of honeycomb panels (HP) using heat pipes. In the spacecraft layout method, the payload modules and the space platform are in the form of rectangular parallelepipeds not associated with heat exchange, the lateral faces of which are formed by vertical HPs with built-in heat pipes longitudinally arranged in height. Collector heat pipes mounted horizontally on the inside of the side of HP, perpendicular to the embedded heat pipes. Most heat-stressed devices in the PN module are placed on the outer surface of the end panel. On each half of the inner surface of the end panel set L-shaped unregulated binder heat pipes. Electric heaters are installed on the condensation zones of the binder L-shaped heat pipes. Thermal insulation with cuts in the areas of external units HP is installed on the part of the external surfaces of the joint venture units of the switchgear module and the space platform, and a temperature-controlled coating is applied on the other part.

EFFECT: technical result of the invention is to optimize the layout of a spacecraft with reduced weight and size characteristics.
