METHOD OF SPACECRAFT ORIENTATION WHEN CONDUCTING EXPERIMENTS WITH SCIENTIFIC EQUIPMENT FOR THE STUDY OF CONVECTION

摘要

FIELD: spacecraft.SUBSTANCE: invention relates to spacecraft (SC) attitude control. Method includes spinning of spacecraft, measuring the distance from the scientific equipment of spacecraft for the study of convection to the spin axis, measuring and fixing the temperature in the equipment, as well as the angular velocity of the spacecraft. Velocity of the spacecraft spin is changed, taking into account interrelated changes in these measured parameters.EFFECT: technical result of the invention is to provide opportunities to study the effect of microgravity on the level of the process of convection in controlling the orientation of the spacecraft.1 cl
