摘要: A profile section for an equipment support panel. The profile section is formed in one piece, comprising a tube suitable for forming a heat pipe by introducing and confining a heat-transfer fluid inside of same, and a groove provided to form a rail along its length for securing at least one piece of equipment supported by the panel, this groove being shaped to form-fittingly engage with an attachment member rigidly connected to the at least one piece of equipment.

摘要: Retrofittable satellite systems for an in-orbit host satellite comprising an enhancement module for adding a capability to the in-orbit host satellite, modifying the function of the in-orbit host satellite, and/or extending the function of the in-orbit host satellite. The in-orbit, retrofittable satellite system comprises a transfer vehicle for transferring the enhancement module from a first to a second location and a service vehicle for receiving the enhancement module from the transfer vehicle and installing the enhancement module on the in-orbit host satellite. In-orbit space situational awareness systems, comprising one or more in-orbit host satellites having one or more enhancement modules attached thereto, the enhancement modules comprising sensors such as satellite spatial location/position sensors, range sensors, navigation sensors, and/or proximity sensors for detecting other objects in-orbit, their location, speed, acceleration, orbital trajectory or the like, wherein the enhancement modules communicate to create a mesh network between the satellites.

摘要: Implementations of the disclosed subject matter provides a system having an artificial light source disposed at a distance from earth or other celestial body, where the artificial light source is configured to project one or more beams of light onto the earth or other celestial body. The system may include a photovoltaic array disposed in an area on the earth or other celestial body that is 200 m-20 km or more in any one dimension that is configured to receive the projected one or more beams of light and is configured to convert the received one or more beams of light into electricity.

摘要: Techniques for minimizing diurnal temperature variation of a radiator of a spacecraft are disclosed. In one aspect, a spacecraft includes a body, a radiator panel, and a heat dissipating unit thermally coupled with the radiator panel. The spacecraft is configured to operate in an orbital plane, and has a yaw axis within the orbital plane and directed from a spacecraft coordinate system origin toward nadir, a pitch axis orthogonal to the orbital plane, and a roll axis orthogonal to the pitch axis and the yaw axis. The radiator panel includes a surface area external to a body of the spacecraft, a first portion of the surface area facing a first direction that is substantially parallel to the roll axis, and a second portion of the surface area facing a second direction that has a substantial component parallel to the yaw axis.

摘要: A radiator for a geostationary satellite is disclosed having a radiative panel perpendicular to a radiation axis, and pivoting relative to the radiation axis, a mounting foot for the panel, a motor which rotates the mounting foot about a rotation axis, the radiation axis and the rotation axis being tilted relative to each other by an angle corresponding to the angle of the satellite's orbital plane relative to the ecliptic plane of the planet, and a guidance system for the panel, limiting rotation of the panel about the rotation axis, including a connecting arm pivoting relative to the satellite about a first axis and relative to the panel about a second axis concurrent with the first axis at a point of intersection of all the axes.

摘要: A first deployment mechanism (30) deploys a first radiator panel (20) from a state where the first radiator panel (20) is opposed to a north or south face (10) of the body structure of a satellite. A second radiator panel (40) is stacked with the first radiator panel (20) to be opposed to the north or south face (10) of the body structure of the satellite and is sandwiched between the north and south face (10) of the body structure of the satellite and the first radiator panel (20), in a state where the first radiator panel (20) is opposed to the north or south face (10) of the body structure of the satellite. A second deployment mechanism (50) connects the second radiator panel (40) to the north or south face (10) of the body structure of the satellite, and deploys the second radiator panel (40) in a direction P2 opposite to a deployment direction P1 of the first radiator panel from a state where the second radiator panel (40) is opposed to the north or south face (10) of the body structure of the satellite.

摘要: A satellite includes a satellite housing, a temperature sensitive component carried by the satellite housing, and a thermal radiator carried by the satellite housing. A thermal switch is movable between a coupled state and a decoupled state. In the coupled state, the temperature sensitive component and the thermal radiator are thermally coupled. In the decoupled state, the temperature sensitive component and the thermal radiator are thermally decoupled.
