ORBITING TRACK CONTROLLING METHOD OF ARTIFICIAL SATELLITE AND SPACE ENERGY UTILIZING SYSTEM USING TRACK

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an orbiting track controlling method of an artificial satellite capable of reducing congestion of a stationary track becoming too busy by controlling a spacecraft having a structure of large area and provide a space energy utilizing system involving no need to couple a reflection mirror with an energy producing and transmitting part through a mechanical means such as a rotary joint. SOLUTION: The space energy utilizing system of a space structure such as artificial satellite is configured so that a non-kepler orbiting track of the artificial satellite is accomplished by using the solar radiation pressure generated in the artificial satellite. The space energy utilizing system includes the reflection mirror to receive the beams from the sun and reflect the received beams and the energy producing and transmitting part to receive the solar beams reflected by the mirror, produce the energy through utilization of the received beams, and transmit the produced energy toward the earth, and the space structure is configured so that the reflection mirror and the energy producing and transmitting part are located apart on different tracks.
