Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of aerospace satellite technology, and in particular to a stackable aluminum extrusion profile frame satellite structure. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, with the increasingly fierce competition among countries for low-Earth orbit (LEO) space resources, the global deployment of LEO satellite constellations has entered a phase of explosive growth. For example, SpaceX has launched more than 8,000 satellites to date; my country's "Hongyan" and "Yinhe" constellation programs are also planning to launch thousands of satellites. To cope with the massive scale of satellite deployment, it is necessary to maximize the carrying capacity of rockets to reduce satellite launch costs. Therefore, the "one rocket, multiple satellites" approach has been proposed and applied. Currently, the main "one rocket, multiple satellites" launch methods for large-scale constellation construction, both domestically and internationally, are multi-layer wall-mounted and stacked launches.
[0003] Multi-layer wall-mounted systems, with their central support tube, can support multiple irregularly shaped satellites (including flat-panel and frame-type satellites). However, the presence of this central support tube significantly reduces the space utilization of the fairing. Compared to wall-mounted systems, stacked systems save the space occupied by the central support tube, greatly improving the space utilization efficiency of the fairing. However, stacked satellites are typically traditional honeycomb sandwich flat-panel structures, which are prone to insufficient bending stiffness when stacked axially, posing a more severe challenge to their mechanical load-bearing performance. Secondly, there is a lack of standardized connection interfaces between stacked satellites, making it difficult to mix and stack different types of satellites. Furthermore, the flat-panel structure of stacked satellites is difficult to adapt to remote sensing satellites with large-aperture, long-focal-length optical equipment.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a stackable aluminum extrusion profile frame satellite structure to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
