    摘要: A solar generator has flexible panels adapted to be deployed by means of extensible frame means. The flexible active material of each panel is so arranged and the extensible frames so operated that the development of the panel takes place not only in the longitudinal direction away from the base, but also in the transverse direction. The panels are adapted for use on satellites or other space vehicles.

    摘要: A solar cell stack, for use in a spacecraft or the like, is disclosed. In the stack only the top solar cell panel is exposed to solar energy to provide electrical power. Except the top panel each panel is covered from exposure to damaging bombarding particles by the preceding panels in the stack toward the stack top. When the exposed top panel''s performance is degraded, due to bombardment by particles or other unexpected failure, the top panel is ejected, thereby exposing the underlying panel in the stack, which not becomes the power supplying panels. Each panel in the stack is successively exposed when the panel above it is ejected.

    摘要: A deployable panel for a spacecraft deployable solar array and other deployable structures. The panel has a number of panel sections hinged edge-to-edge for folding to a stowage configuration wherein the sections are disposed in confronting face-to-face relation and extension to a flat unfolded configuration wherein the panel sections are disposed in coplanar relation. Fixed to selected edges of the panels are sheets which are held flat between the panel sections in the folded configuration of the panel and curl into tubular beams for deploying the panel to unfolded configuration and/or rigidizing the panel when the latter is extended to unfolded configuration. In a solar array the sheets provide protection covers for the solar cells when the solar panel is folded. A deployable panel structure embodying the panel.

    摘要: A method for deployment of a solar cell array, conduction of generated power from the array to the satellite, and utilization of the array and deployment means as an aid for the gravitygradient stabilization of the satellite. The method envisions telescoping sections of a solar cell array being extended in orbit by an erectable mast and boom assembly. Power is carried from the array through electrically conductive booms and twin conducting masts, thereby eliminating the need for electrical wiring and associated wiring guides and connectors. The extended solar array also assists in stabilizing the satellite by providing necessary gravity-gradient restoring moments. Multiple function of equipment increases the wattage to weight ratio of the array.

    摘要: An active communications satellite which is stabilized as to attitude and to orbit includes at least one directional antenna rigidly mounted on a body portion. The antenna part of the generated surface of the body of the satellite in the operating condition is oriented toward earth. The other parts of the surface of the body are penetrated by control engines and their connecting parts which serve to control the attitude and orbit stabilization of the satellite. Some of the control engines are enclosed in the operative condition of the satellite by at least two unfoldable solar battery areas which are mounted on pivot arm members to permit them to be swung outwardly when the satellite is in space. A fly wheel is carried by the body for the attitude stabilization of the satellite and it rotates about the axis of symmetry parallel to the antenna plane. The satellite is advantageously constructed such that the apogee motor, the fly wheel, the electronic equipment and the fuel tanks are disposed so that they will be rotationally symmetric to the axis of symmetry of the satellite.

    摘要: 1,033,681. Mounting solar cells. NATIONAL AERONAUTICS & SPACE ADMINISTRATION. Jan. 1, 1965 [Feb. 13, 1964], No. 37/65. Heading H1K. A plurality of solar cells are joined mechanically and electrically by an expanded metal strip which is attached to the solar cells by a conductive adhesive. The term " expanded metal " is defined as a very thin sheet of metal which has cuts made therein and has then been pulled out transversely to the cuts to give a mesh. In a specific embodiment, Fig. 3, PN silicon devices 12 have their P-type region 13 connected to the N-type region 14 by an expanded metal strip 16 by way of tin-lead solder 19 and 20 and a thin layer of bonding material 17 and 18, e.g. Cu, Ni, Ag or Pt. The matrix 11 so formed is secured to an aluminium honeycomb 22 by a flexible adhesive 23, e.g. room temperature vulcanizing silicone rubber. In another embodiment, the matrix 11 is joined by silicone rubber to a glass fibre backing, and is incorporated in rolled form in a space satellite. In operation the rolled matrix is unrolled by telescopic arms and held rigidly in an extended position.
