HULL OF A BLOCK-MODULAR SPACE VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B64G1/22 

FIELD: cosmonautics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space engineering, in particular, creation of telecommunications space vehicles (SV). Hull of a block-modular SV consists of the body of the service systems module (SSM), the body of the payload module (PLM). Two support structures are installed along the ±Y axes in the XOZ planes. Said structures consist of horizontally and vertically standing honeycomb panels, interconnected rigidly. The panels are connected with the central power pipe of the SSM and the base panel of the PLM body. Vertical panels intended for installing hanging spacecraft structures are installed on the support structures. The base panel of the PLM body and the vertical panels comprise an orthogonal notch for installing the irradiator panels connected with the base panel of the PLM body, with corresponding vertical panels and support structures.

EFFECT: increased rigidity of the SV.
