METHOD FOR TRANSMITTING INFORMATION FROM SPACE AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G09F21/00 G09F19/12 G09F21/16 G09F21/18 G09F9/30 B64G1/10 B64G1/12 

FIELD: space technology.

SUBSTANCE: technical solution relates to the field of space technology, specifically to micro class space platforms used for the formation and transmission of information, in particular to a satellite constellation, with the help of which visually distinguishable information from outer space will be demonstrated. The spacecraft contains a propulsion system, an on-board control system, an on-board radio complex, solar panels and storage batteries, characterized in that it contains a light source as a payload to create a visually distinguishable light spot in the sky at night, while the light source is made in the form of at least one laser diode installed in a guide placed on the base, and the beam is made with a rectangular cross-section. The method involves putting at least one spacecraft containing a laser light source into orbit, directing the sighting axis of the laser light source to the center of the planned illumination spot on the Earth’s surface, ensuring that the direction of the laser sighting axis to the center of the spot on the Earth is maintained during the entire spacecraft flight session. The laser light source is operated in a constant and/or pulsed mode, the optical signal is modulated with information, changing the signal amplitude, and transmitted to a spot of illumination on the Earth's surface.

EFFECT: use of the claimed technical solution makes it possible to increase the reliability of information transmission from space to Earth.
