ARTIFICIAL SATELLITE

摘要

A plurality of panels (2 to 10) are coupled rotatably by a hinge mechanism (21a). The panels are folded when a rocket loaded with the panels is launched and unfolded in space after the artificial satellite is released. Each of the panels (2 to 10) is loaded with at least functional elements such as a solar panel, a battery, an attitude control device and a communication device separately or together. The devices loaded on the panels are electrically connected to each other. <IMAGE>
