DOUBLE START SYSTEM AND SUPPORT ASSEMBLY Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B64G1/10 F16C11/00 

FIELD: astronautics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space engineering, particularly, to spacecraft dual launching systems and support assembly of this system. Double launching system is characterized by its implementation in the form of three-tier truss including lower, middle and upper tiers separated from each other by upper and lower belts containing support rods connected by transverse rods. Supporting units of upper belt are made with possibility of separation of upper tier of truss from grid of middle tier of truss. Support assemblies of the lower frame of the truss are made so that to enable rotation of rods of the grid of the middle tier of the truss in different planes at the acute angle and their fixation in the turned position. Support assembly includes a wall made in the form of a comb containing two side and middle lugs, the last of which is curved. Wall is articulated with two rods of truss. Support assembly is equipped with two plate springs. Support assembly is equipped with devices for fixation of truss rods in turned state, each of which includes stop, which tail part interacts with cylindrical spring.

EFFECT: higher relative useful volume.
