DEVICE FOR ENSURING THE THERMAL REGIME OF THE SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC B64G1/42 

FIELD: spacecrafts.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to spacecraft equipped with a system for providing thermal conditions for the operation of the electronic equipment located in them. The device for ensuring the thermal regime of the spacecraft includes an expandable telescopic rod with heat-radiating panels of the refrigerator-emitter (RE), stacked with each other in three planes equally spaced relative to the longitudinal axis of the spacecraft and parallel to the axis of the telescopic rod, which is pulled out of the spacecraft before deploying the panels. In this case, the last internal extendable link of the telescopic rod is provided with a frame, on which the cables are fixed, passing along the pulleys on the hinge axes connecting the deployable panels of the refrigerator-emitter (RE), and the opposite ends of the cables are attached to the last panels of the RE deployed in each plane. All panels for the coolant to flow through them are connected to the spacecraft by pipelines, which are equipped with metal hoses welded to the RE panels at the places where the hinges connecting the CI panels are installed. All unfolded RE panels are connected to the outer link of the telescopic rod.

EFFECT: stability of the spacecraft to the emerging moment relative to its longitudinal axis, which leads to the rotation of the spacecraft, is increased.
