CONTROL DEVICE OF PORTABLE OBSERVATION EQUIPMENT ARRANGED ON SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B64G1/66 F41G3/00 

FIELD: astronautics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to spacecraft (SC) equipment. Device for control of spacecraft (SC) portable observation equipment (OE) (1) comprises housing (4), two-stage suspension with angle sensors (12, 15) and drives (13, 16) on its axes, as well as computing device (17). In housing there are holes (5, 6) and stationary (9) and movable (10) mirrors are installed. On hole (5) there is detachable attachment OE (1) assembly. On hole (6) there is a detachable installation unit of the housing on window (3). Stationary mirror (9) is installed with alignment of normal N₁ to its plane with bisector of right angle between beams (20) and (21) reflected by mirror along directions to OE (1) and mirror (10). Similar normal N₂ of mirror (10) is matched with bisector of angle between beam (20) and beam (23) passing through hole (6) and window (3) to underlying surface (19). Mirrors provide guidance of sensitivity axis OE (1) on specified objects of observation without turning OE itself.

EFFECT: technical result is aimed at improvement of accuracy of guidance and tracking of specified objects by means of different removable OE.
