Exposed load support system for spacecraft

Abstract

The invention relates to an exposed load supporting system for a spacecraft. The exposed load supporting system comprises a hollow shell (1), a guide structure (2) arranged on a first side face (11) of the shell (1), an interface supporting device (3) arranged on the shell (1) and an auxiliary locking device (4) used for clamping test load equipment. The auxiliary locking device (4) and the guidestructure (2) are arranged on the same side of the shell (1); and a plurality of connecting through holes (5) penetrating through the two opposite sides of the shell are formed in the first side surface (11). The exposed load supporting system has the locking / unlocking function, on-orbit replacement of test load equipment can be achieved under the cooperation of astronauts and mechanical arms, thespace outside a cabin of a spacecraft can be repeatedly utilized, and space resources of the spacecraft are effectively saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the aerospace field, in particular to an exposed load support system for spacecraft. Background technique [0002] my country's space environment material device exposure test, space environment data acquisition, space breeding, space-based astronomical observation, earth observation, space security and other research all need a long-term support platform. The outer bulkheads of large spacecraft such as space stations are precisely best choice. However, the outer wall of the spacecraft is usually relatively smooth, which is not convenient for the installation and replacement of test equipment. In addition, the exposure test equipment has various shapes and various interfaces, and the operation capabilities of astronauts and robotic arms are very limited. posed difficulties.

Problems solved by technology

However, the outer wall of the spacecraft is usually relatively smooth, which is not convenient for the installation and replacement of test equipment. In addition, the exposure test equipment has various shapes and various interfaces, and the operation capabilities of astronauts and robotic arms are very limited. brings difficulties

[0003] my country's space station project has entered the demonstration stage, and many supporting space exposure test projects have also begun to start. However, these projects still have problems such as difficulty in installing extravehicular test equipment on orbit and poor spacecraft support capabilities.
