Embodiment Construction

[0029] Elements with the same reference number are similar in all figures.

[0030] figure 1 A sectional view along a first axis of a structural panel PS for a satellite is shown, comprising: an outer skin or wall PE for placement on the outside of the satellite; a core AM, in this case having a honeycomb structure, Comprising at least one heat pipe CAL arranged adjacent to the outer skin PE, and an inner skin or wall PI for placement on the inside of the satellite. Such structural panels PS may also be referred to as sandwich-type panels. The device EQPT, equipped in the example here with two fastening lugs PF1 and PF2, is fastened to the structural plate PS by means of two threaded inserts INS1 and INS2 and two screws V1 and V2, said two Screws are screwed into said threaded inserts INS1 and INS2 and fastening lugs PF1 and PF2 respectively. The heat exchanger integrated in the plate PS is shown, in the example here, comprising the evaporator EVAP, which is arranged in the...

Abstract

A structural satellite panel (PS) has an outer skin (PE) arranged on the exterior of a satellite and a core (AM) comprising at least one integrated heat pipe (CAL) in fixedly in contact with the outer skin (PE); and an inner skin (PI) arranged at interior of the satellite. The PS comprises a plurality of general heat exchangers that are associated with a heat regulation circuit that employs circulation of liquid coolant and is arranged outside the panel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a structural panel for an artificial satellite, especially a communication satellite. Background technique [0002] Artificial satellites, especially communication satellites, are of expensive construction, in particular due to the design of their thermal control systems, usually consisting of a network of heat pipes. [0003] Building satellite structures is also expensive, especially since each satellite's control system is unique. Contents of the invention [0004] It is an object of the invention to reduce the cost of building artificial satellites and to improve their thermal control systems. [0005] According to one aspect of the invention, a general purpose structural panel for an artificial satellite comprises: an outer skin for placement on the outside of an artificial satellite; a core comprising at least one integral Heat pipes; used to fit inside the inner skin of satellites. The structural plates are equipped...
