MULTILINK ROD FOR SPACECRAFT SOLAR BATTERY Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B64G1/22 B64G1/42 B64G1/44 

FIELD: space tech.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space technology, namely to the structures of solar cells, and can be used to create a spacecraft. The technical problem to be solved by the claimed invention is the lack of fastening of the rod links of the solar battery in its folded position, leading to collisions of the elements of the spacecraft. The technical problem posed is solved by the fact that the multi-link rod of the solar spacecraft battery contains links connected to each other, with the spacecraft and the solar battery by hinged joints. At least one of the extreme links of the rod has a load-bearing frame made of shaped elements connected by brackets, on which the attachment points of this link to the spacecraft body are arranged in the folded position of the rod. The attachment points of the link to the spacecraft body can be made in the form of cylindrical support pads.

EFFECT: solar panel fastening issue is solved.
