A spacecraft (10) for removing space debris is disclosed. The spacecraft includes a satellite bus (100), a shield member (110) foldable on an outer side face of the satellite bus and disposed facing towards space debris to reduce a movement speed of the space debris, and a support member (120) configured to support the shield member with respect to the satellite bus, in which the shield member includes a central panel (112) configured to overlap one face of the satellite bus, a plurality of first panels (114) connected to peripheral sides of the central panel and radially extended, and a plurality of second panels (116) located between the first panels.
摘要:
A space-based solar power station, a power generating satellite module and/or a method for collecting solar radiation and transmitting power generated using electrical current produced therefrom is provided. Power transmitters can be coordinated as a phased array and the power generated by the phased array is transmitted to one or more power receivers to achieve remote wireless power generation and delivery. In many embodiments, a reference signal is distributed within the space-based solar power station to coordinate the phased array. In several embodiments, determinations of the relative locations of the antennas in the array are utilized to evaluate the phase shift and/or amplitude modulation to apply the reference signal at each power transmitter.
摘要:
A solar panel assembly for a spacecraft includes a bracket and first and second booms each having a first end secured to the bracket and a second end extending away from the bracket. Each boom is formed from a plurality of tubes that telescope between a stowed condition nested within one another and a deployed condition aligned end-to-end with one another. A solar panel is secured to the first and second booms for receiving solar energy and converting the solar energy to electrical power. The solar panel has a stowed condition collapsed between the first and second booms and a deployed condition extending in a plane between the first and second booms.

La structure déployable comporte un mât d'éloignement (10) et deux rouleaux de stockage (11, 12) supportant chacun un générateur solaire flexible (30), les deux rouleaux de stockage étant articulés sur le mât. Le mât comporte au moins une tige (101) longitudinale et deux bras latéraux (103, 104) inclinés angulairement selon deux directions opposées et symétriques par rapport à la tige longitudinale (101), chaque bras latéral (103, 104) comportant une extrémité munie d'un guide creux (105, 106). Chaque rouleau de stockage (11,12) a un axe longitudinal (54) comportant une extrémité coudée formant un pivot (13, 14) respectivement articulé à l'intérieur du guide creux (105, 106) d'un bras latéral correspondant, le pivot (13, 14) de chaque rouleau de stockage ayant un axe de révolution (55, 56) différent de l'axe longitudinal (54, 57) du rouleau de stockage (11, 12) correspondant.
