FIELD: astronautics.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to small-size binary spacecrafts (BSC) intended for creation of reconfigurable antenna systems. BSC comprises two cylindrical bodies, on the ends of which by means of telescopic rods there are multi-vector matrix rocket engines (MMRE) deploying flexible substrate of solar panel (SP), which is integrated with antenna. Substrate of SP is divided in its center by tension rods into two webs directly wound, and wound on bodies in the form of rolls. Tension rods are connected to each other by a bridge, inside which there pass information and power buses connecting the first and the second controllers.
EFFECT: technical result is multiple deployment and coagulation of SP with collinear antenna in compact position, as well as increase in relative area of SP.
