METHOD FOR SERVICING SPACE OBJECTS IN ORBITS OF VARIOUS INCLINATIONS AND A HIGH-ORBIT SPACE INFRASTRUCTURE FOR IMPLEMENTING THE METHOD Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B64G1/10 

FIELD: satellite systems maintaining.

SUBSTANCE: inventions relate to methods and means of maintaining satellite systems for various purposes, mainly in the era of developed activity in near space, which is characterized by the deployment of transport and technical centers (TTC) on BO. A method for servicing space objects (SO) in orbits of various inclinations, including the placement of transport and technical centers (TTC), service facilities (SF) and modular interorbital transport vehicles (ITV) in the near-Earth base orbit (BO) for delivering SO to the orbits of serviced SO, interaction of SF and ITV with TTC, ITV flights between BO and SO orbits. As a BO, a high equatorial orbit is used, from which the service facilities (SF) formed by the TTC are transferred to lower orbits served by SOs of different inclinations. The SF transfer is carried out through an elliptical intermediate orbit in the BO plane with the highest possible apogee, allowable in terms of service time. At the apogee, the inclination and velocity of the SF are changed, transferring the SF into the orbital plane of the SO. Further flight to the SO is carried out with the help of ITV high or low thrust propulsion systems. After servicing, the SO is returned to the SF and part of the spent SO elements to the TTC at the BO.

EFFECT: efficiency of SO servicing in medium and high orbits of any inclination increases.
