1,127,836. Satellites. BOLKOW, G.m.b.H. 25 Oct., 1966 [26 Oct., 1965], No. 47781/66. Heading B7W. A drum-shaped satellite, preferably spin stabilized, has solar cells on panels a 1 , a 2 , a 3 ..., b 1 , b 2 , b 3 ..., A 1 , A 2 , A 3 on its ends and cylindrical surface, the panels being hinged to the satellite so that they can be moved to improve their reception of solar radiation. When in orbit the end panels a 1 , a 2 , a 3 . . ., b 1 , b 2 , b 3 . . . may be released from their initial position to spring about hinges at 3 and 4 to extend the side panels A 1 , A 2 , A 3 . . . as in Fig. 4b, whence they can be swung by the extension of a telescopic member (6), Fig. 5 (not shown), to any position, even up to 90 degrees rotation, Fig. 4c, so as to present the solar cells normal to the solar radiation for at least part of the period taken for the satellite to spin about its longitudinal axis.
