Definitions
- the present invention relates to a light spacecraft dispenser, especially for launching small satellites.
- ESPA ELV secondary payload adapter
- ELV Secondary Payload Adapter Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle
- CSA Engineering, Inc. which uses a metal ring concept, based on a thick monolithic aluminum alloy cylinder, with several ports, and which was first built in 2001.
- the article "Adapter Ring for Small Satellites on Responsive Launch Vehicles” Joseph R. Maly, Vann M. Stavast, Gregory E. Sandford, Michael E. Evert, CSA Engineering, Inc.; 7th Responsive Space Conference, April 27-30 2009, Los Angeles, California), describes a modular multi-payload adapter for small launch vehicles based on the ESPA ring.
- US 8789797 B2 refers to payload adapters that include antenna assemblies, satellite assemblies and related systems and methods ("Payload adapters including antenna assemblies, satellite assemblies and related systems and methods"). Describes a payload adapter with a ring structure that has an opening. A circular side wall extends between opposite ends of the ring structure, and the ring structure may include several payload ports.
- EP 2407384 B1 (“Dual evolved expendable launch vehicle (EELV) secondary payload adapter (ESPA) port small satellite design”), describes an apparatus and method that provide a payload volume for larger satellites.
- the apparatus and method include a plurality of small satellite components, a payload adapter ring, and at least one pivoting hinge system.
- the plurality of small satellite components includes at least one payload, a bus, and / or a solar panel.
- the small satellite components are mounted on the payload adapter ring.
- At least one pivoting hinge system connects at least two of the small satellite components. With the deployment of small satellite components from the payload adapter ring, at least one pivoting hinge system joins at least two small satellite components, thus creating at least one single larger satellite.
- US 8720830 B1 (“Efficient Solar Panel Wing-Stowage on a Space Launch Vehicle”), describes an adapter assembly for interconnection with a launch vehicle, comprising a structure with an adapter.
- the adapter assembly is positioned between two separable components of a launch vehicle along a longitudinal axis of the launch vehicle to interconnect the components in a structural manner.
- a solar panel that has a saved state and an unfolded state is interconnected with the adapter assembly. In a saved state, the solar panel can be placed inside the interior space of the adapter assembly to utilize the space inside the launch vehicle that would otherwise not be fully utilized.
- Document US 5613653 A refers to a multi-satellite distributor for launcher, and describes a distributor located on top of a satellite launcher.
- the launcher has an external protection surface.
- the satellites are grouped around a central cube and placed symmetrically at angular intervals and on two levels. The satellites are held in place in the central hub by means of interface units, which have mechanical fixation / release mechanisms and electrical interfaces between the satellite and the launcher.
- the object of the invention is to provide a light spacecraft dispenser that solves the aforementioned drawback.
- the invention provides a light spacecraft dispenser, consisting of a ring structure with several payload ports, in which the surface of the ring structure is at least partially spherical.
- Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a light spacecraft dispenser of the invention.
- Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of another embodiment of a light spacecraft dispenser of the invention.
- Fig. 3 shows a view of a main spacecraft mounted on a light spacecraft dispenser of the invention.
- Figure 1 shows a light spacecraft dispenser 1 consisting of a ring structure with several payload ports 2.
- the ring structure has two opposite ends, and a surface 3 extends between these two opposite ends.
- the surface 3 of the light spacecraft dispenser 1 may be at least partially spherical. In the embodiment of Figure 1, the surface 3 of the light spacecraft dispenser 1 is completely spherical.
- Figure 2 shows a dispenser 1 of light spaceships.
- An adapter 5 is placed on one of the ends of the ring structure.
- Figure 3 shows a main spacecraft 4 mounted on the light spacecraft dispenser 1 of Figure 2.
- the adapter 5 is connected to the main spacecraft 4, and can have a conical shape.
- Figure 3 also shows a small satellite 6, which can be coupled to its corresponding payload port 2.
- the payload ports 2 comprise secondary supports with flanges.
- the use of composite materials for the manufacture of the spacecraft dispenser 1 allows weight reduction.
- an ESPA configuration with a height of 1, 05 m and 6 ports of 610 mm in diameter weighs about 168 kg.
- the weight would be about 120 kg.
- the dispenser 1 can provide a significant reduction in mass with respect to the existing dispensers with the ESPA ring concept. That allows a potential increase in the masses of spacecraft.
