摘要:
The invention relates to a thermal management device intended to collect the heat dissipated by a group of dissipative equipment of a spacecraft in an evaporation zone before discharging this heat to cold space via a condensation zone, situated in the region of the radiators. The evaporation zone and the condensation zone each consist of at least one heat-exchange part comprising a network of a plurality of compact heat-exchange elements distributed over their respective heat-exchange surface and connected in series and/or in parallel by the tubes of the thermal fluid circulation means.A device such as this is particularly intended for telecommunications satellites.

The invention relates to a thermal control device intended to dissipate the heat generated by a payload on a spacecraft, comprising a number of surfaces and including means for circulating a refrigerant. An evaporation zone (Z1) comprises means for circulating the refrigerant, a compression zone (Z2), a condensation zone (Z3) comprising at least one radiating panel, linked to a part of the means for circulating the refrigerant, including several branches and comprising means to allow or inhibit the circulation of the refrigerant within these branches so as to vary the area of the heat exchange surface in the condensation zone, a pressure reduction zone (Z4) comprising means for circulating the refrigerant. Such a device is particularly well adapted to thermal problems encountered in telecommunications satellites.

The invention produces contactless radial position sensors having an equivalent angular aperture greater than 90°, and substantially eliminates the spurious microvibrations due to the imperfections of the current sensors. For this, the invention uses at least four independent sensors and an electronic device capable of virtually placing in series said sensors in groups of two or three in order to spread the equivalent angular aperture of said groups of sensors.

A system is dedicated to the control of the deployment of at least two spacecraft (ES1, ES2) which are provided with maneuvering means (MD1, MD2) and are intended to move according to a chosen formation. This system includes a control device (MM11, MM12, MT, MC1) comprising i) first measurement means (MM11, MM12, MT) responsible for determining substantially simultaneously and with high precision the orbital positions of the spacecraft (ES1, ES2), and ii) first calculation means (MC1) responsible for determining for each of the spacecraft, as a function of their orbital positions, maneuvers intended to position each of them at a chosen instant substantially in a chosen position with respect to a reference trajectory, having regard to the time law of a reference craft (ES1) on this reference trajectory (TR), so as to place the formation in a chosen configuration.

An action device comprises first electromagnetic means installed on a first body and defining a first magnetic moment and a magnetic field and second electromagnetic means installed on a second body, distant from the first body, and defining a second magnetic moment able to interact with the magnetic field. It further comprises i) means for varying the first magnetic moment in accordance with a chosen first law of variation to cause the magnetic field to vary in time, ii) means for varying the second magnetic moment in accordance with a second law of variation so that a required force and a required torque are induced on the second body, and iii) calculation means adapted to determine the second law of variation as a function at least of the required force and the required torque and the first law of variation.
摘要:
A reversible electric device M is connected in an H bridge with a first side formed by first top and bottom switches and a second side formed by second top and bottom switches. The current Im flowing in the device from the first side to the second side is determined cyclically with a given constant switching frequency. The difference .DELTA. is determined between Im and an instantaneous set point current. Each cycle is divided with a ratio R into a first part and a second part. R is determined and for each part a set point setting for the switches (diagonal mode or freewheel mode) is chosen according to the sign .DELTA., the sign of the set point current (or of Im) and the value of a preselected correlation law relating to .DELTA. the mean value of the voltage that can be applied to the device during each cycle.

A solar panel (3) having a front face (31) for receiving solar radiation and a rear face (32), for use in a spacecraft (1). The solar panel is covered on the rear face (32) with a coating (4) having negative electric charge emissive property such that in use the coating expels electrons out of the rear face (32) of the solar panel (3), thus reducing the potential difference between the front face (31) and the rear face (32). A method of reducing potential difference between the front face (31) and the rear face (32) of the solar panel (3) by covering the rear face by said coating (4).
