DEPLOYABLE ORBITAL SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B64G1/24 

FIELD: space technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to objects held in predetermined configurations by electromagnetic forces. The spacecraft (1) is equipped with superconducting coils (SC) of the same polarity, forming a periodic structure encircling the spacecraft and equivalent to two annular SCs (7) on the spacecraft body (4). On the satellite (2), the SC (9) is installed, interacting with the SCs (7) in accordance with the law of conservation of the magnetic flux coupled to the coils. The flow is formed by certain procedures using superconducting switches before and after the deployment of the spacecraft system and the satellite in space, for which there is a docking device for temporary containment. The satellite (2) at a given distance from the spacecraft (1) in the radial direction is automatically stabilized (due to the law of conservation of magnetic flux) and is not constrained in its movement around the axis of the body (4).

EFFECT: invention is aimed at expanding the functionality of the spacecraft system and the satellite by increasing the number of controlled degrees of freedom of mutual movement of these objects.
