Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of aerospace technology, and to a dual-satellite self-connected main load-bearing structure, and more particularly to a dual-satellite self-connected main load-bearing structure adapted to small satellites with large storage tanks. Background Technology

[0002] In satellite launch missions in the aerospace field, traditional tandem satellite launch methods typically rely on the launch vehicle to connect the two satellites within the fairing via a support structure inside the satellite adapter. A typical tandem launch rocket's internal support structure is as follows: Figure 1 The rocket fairing is shown. However, this method has significant drawbacks: because the launch vehicle needs to provide an additional internal support structure, the launch mass cannot be maximized, resulting in high launch costs. Meanwhile, the 100L large propellant tanks configured for small satellites often use plate-type support structures, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the drum-skin effect is significant, and the mechanical response of large tanks is large. To solve this problem, it is often necessary to add reinforcing structures to improve stiffness, but the actual effect is minimal, further exacerbating the waste of structural weight.

[0003] In summary, the support structure design in traditional tandem satellite launches not only results in low launch mass utilization and high costs, but also makes it difficult to effectively solve the mechanical response problem of large tank plate support structures through conventional strengthening methods.
