FIELD: space technology.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to small-sized binary research spacecraft (BRS) designed to search for and collect radiating nanoscale objects of extraterrestrial origin accumulated in cosmic dust structures located in the vicinity of libration points. The BRS contains two cylindrical bodies, in the centers of the ends of which telescopic rods are placed, on which four multivector matrix rocket engines with wave-like cylindrical surfaces are placed for scanning cloud-dust structures, deploying and folding two flexible tape substrates with placed solar cells and microcontainers for indicating radiation with a Stokes or anti-Stokes shift in the UV and IR ranges and collecting nanoobjects using an electric and magnetic field. Self-correction of the trajectory of the search for radiating nanoobjects is carried out as the fluorescence of nanoobjects is detected using indicator microcontainers located on a second flexible tape substrate and a camera for express analysis. Sealing of the assembled nanoobjects is carried out by sealing microcontainers with sealing films with simultaneous folding them into a roll transported to the Earth for laboratory research.
EFFECT: possibility to correct the search trajectory depending on the results of express analysis of the radiating properties of extraterrestrial nanoobjects with different physical properties collected separately using the electric and magnetic field, followed by conveyor sealing of the collected nanoobjects when scanning the vicinity of libration points of planets belonging the Solar System.
