Dreiachsenstabilisierter Satellit mit geozentrischer Ausrichtung auf niedrigem Orbit mit einachsenschwenkbarem Solargenerator

摘要

A satellite 11 (1) (fig. 1) is stabilised about a roll axis X, a yaw axis Y and a pitch axis Z, for a travel on an orbit (C) with geocentric pointing towards a heavenly body. The satellite has a body 12, (2) and a solar generator 13, (3) adapted to collect solar radiation, the generator 13, (3) having a single wing supported in a medium portion by an arm 14, (4) extending at least approximately along the yaw axis away from the heavenly body. The arm is connected to the body by a single rotation mechanism 15, (5) with a single rotation axis substantially parallel to the yaw axis, the wing having a constant inclination ( alpha ) to the yaw axis. The solar generator may comprise three foldable panels (figure 3). <IMAGE>
