Satellite distributor and carrier rocket system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of aerospace, in particular to a satellite distributor and a carrier rocket system.
Background
In recent years, launching of microsatellites has become a main demand for commercial launching, and the demand for launching of microsatellites is increasing, but since a rocket is too expensive for a microsatellite and a microsatellite can be purchased for commercial launching, in recent years, the microsatellites are often in a mode of carrying and launching.
When the microsatellite is used for carrying and launching, the launching period of the main satellite influences the launching period of the main satellite, the time cost is high, and most microsatellites are separated after the main satellite is separated, so that the orbit of the microsatellite only can be transferred to the orbit of the main satellite, and the launching of the microsatellites is negatively influenced.
The method provides a launching platform for the microsatellite, which is particularly important for commercial aerospace, and has great commercial value. The cuboids are low-cost micro-nano satellites adopting international universal standards, and the volume of 1U is 10 centimeters multiplied by 10 centimeters by taking U as a unit. Because the cube star component adopts the universalization, modularization and standardization design concept, the cube star has the characteristics of low development cost, large function density, high technical maturity and short development period, under the normal condition, the cube star is installed in an ejector which is a cuboid box, and after the cube star reaches a designated position along with a carrier rocket, a door of the ejector is opened to eject the cube star. The cuboids become the main satellites for commercial use, and the current satellite distributors are all provided for specific satellites, and no satellite distributor suitable for the cuboids is provided.
