A two-unit CubeSat platform

Abstract

The invention discloses a dual-unit cube satellite platform which comprises a main force bearing mechanism, a windward face battery array, a leeward face battery array, a sky-facing face battery array, a ground-facing face battery array, a first unfolded battery array, a second unfolded battery array and a circuit module sets. In the cube satellite flight direction, the windward face battery array is arranged on the windward face of the main force bearing mechanism, the leeward face battery array is arranged on the leeward face of the main force bearing mechanism, the sky-facing face battery array is arranged on the sky-facing face of the main force bearing mechanism, the ground-facing face battery array is arranged on the ground-facing face of the main force bearing mechanism, the first unfolded battery array and the second unfolded battery array are arranged on the other two faces of the main force bearing mechanism, and the circuit module sets are fixed in the main force bearing mechanism. The dual-unit cube satellite platform has the remarkable advantages of being low in mass, small in size, low in cost, short in research period, high in functional density, wide in application range and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cube satellites, in particular to a dual-unit cube satellite platform. Background technique [0002] With the continuous deepening of aerospace research, the requirements for low-orbit space exploration missions and earth observation missions have been continuously raised. At the same time, the demand for space environment experiments in the fields of biology, medicine, and communication is also increasing. When the traditional satellite industry satisfies such demands, there are deficiencies such as high cost and long R&D cycle. The low-cost cube nanosatellite is a low-cost spacecraft platform with multi-payload adaptability developed for such low-orbit space missions. [0003] At present, in the aerospace industry, especially the civil aerospace industry, on the basis of relatively mature satellite platform technology, various space test mission ideas have been proposed one after another. However, due...
