20230055684 · 2023-02-23 ·

A suspending release device for observing a drop vibration attitude change of a lander and a test method are provided. The device includes a bench system, a lifting system fixed to the bench system, a horizontal frame system, an attitude control system, and a suspending release system hinged to the attitude control system. The horizontal frame system may slide vertically on the bench system and may drive the attitude control system to slide horizontally. A test lander is fixed to a release sliding block. The release sliding block is locked with a main load bearing block. An attitude of the test lander when releasing is adjusted. The horizontal frame system is lifted to a predetermined height. Guide rods are indirectly driven to release the sliding block by a motor. The whole lander falls freely and touches the ground to collide, and the process is recorded by a high-speed camera.

A satellite constellation forming system (600) forms a satellite constellation having a plurality of orbital planes in each of which a plurality of satellites fly at the same average orbital altitude. A satellite constellation forming unit (11) forms a passage region for a space object to pass through before the space object passes through an orbital altitude of the satellite constellation from above the satellite constellation. After the space object has passed through the passage region, the satellite constellation forming unit (11) restores the satellite constellation to a state before the passage region is formed.

An object is to appropriately manage disclosure of information on the orbit of a satellite constellation. An information management device (1000) is installed in at least one of a plurality of management business devices each of which conducts a management business for a plurality of space objects flying in space. A storage unit (1400) stores orbit forecast information (51) including an orbit forecast, which is a forecast value of an orbit of each of the plurality of space objects, and a forecast error that is forecast for the orbit. An information disclosure unit (1100) determines whether the orbit forecast information (51) is to be disclosed to a different information management device, based on a disclosure threshold (141) for determining whether the orbit forecast information (51) is to be disclosed and the forecast error.

COOLING DEVICE AND ARTIFICIAL SATELLITE

A cooling device (100) is a device that cools a heat generator such as an electronic device (2) mounted in a mounting device such as an artificial satellite. The cooling device (100) includes a refrigerant flow path (10) configured annularly by sequentially connecting a pump (3) that circulates a liquid refrigerant, a cooler (4) that cools a heat generator such as an electronic device (2) with the refrigerant, and a heat exchanger (5) that cools the refrigerant. In addition, the cooling device (100) has a vapor mixing unit (20) that mixes the vapor generated by heat of at least one of heat intrusion from an outside to a mounting device such as an artificial satellite and heat generation of a heat generator such as the electronic device (2) into the refrigerant flowing into a cooler (4) in the refrigerant flow path (10).
