Precision alignment and movement restriction safeguard mechanism for loading multiple satellites into a launch vehicle |
摘要 |
Multiple satellites are densely packed in modern multi-satellite launch vehicles. Stocking of a subsequent satellite (20) in the presence of adjacent satellites (12) subjects both satellites to damage due to mishandling and human error during craning operations. An alignment mechanism (30) attaches to subsequent satellite (20) and operates in conjunction with a craning tether (26) to stock a launch vehicle dispenser (10) with subsequent satellite (20). An alignment mechanism (30) restricts lateral motion of subsequent satellite (20) during stocking while keeping subsequent satellite (20) centrally located in a vacant position on a launch vehicle dispenser (10).
