Abstract

Système de récupération d’un engin spatial en mer, procédé de récupération et utilisation associés à celui-ci L’invention concerne un système flottant de récupération d’un engin spatial en mer comprenant : un dispositif de récupération de l’engin spatial délimité par un cadre s’étendant selon un plan horizontal, et quatre supports reliés au cadre, chaque support s’étendant selon un axe entre une partie proximale par laquelle il est monté pivotant sur le cadre, et une partie distale sur laquelle est fixé un ballast, chaque support comprenant en outre un flotteur présent à une position intermédiaire entre la partie proximale et le ballast, le système étant mobile entre une configuration de transport dans laquelle les ballasts se maintiennent au moins partiellement à la surface de l’eau et les supports sont horizontaux, et une configuration de récupération dans laquelle les ballasts sont immergés et les supports s’étendent verticalement de manière à maintenir le cadre du dispositif de récupération à distance de l’eau. L’invention vise aussi un procédé de récupération d’un engin spatial et une utilisation du système de récupération pour récupérer une partie d’un lanceur spatial. Figure pour l’abrégé : Fig. 1.The invention relates to a floating system for recovering a spacecraft at sea, comprising: a device for recovering the spacecraft delimited by a frame extending in a horizontal plane, and four supports connected to the frame, each support extending along an axis between a proximal part by which it is mounted to pivot on the frame, and a distal part on which is fixed a ballast, each support further comprising a float present at an intermediate position between the proximal part and the ballast, the system being movable between a transport configuration in which the ballasts are maintained at least partially on the surface of the water and the supports are horizontal , and a recovery configuration in which the ballasts are submerged and the supports extend vertically so as to maintain the frame of the recovery device. remote operation of water. The invention also relates to a method of recovering a spacecraft and a use of the recovery system to recover part of a space launcher. Figure for the abstract: Fig. 1.
