ELECTROMAGNETIC SYSTEM FOR PROTECTION OF SPACECRAFT AGAINST ORBITAL FRAGMENTS

摘要

FIELD: systems for protection of spacecraft against orbital fragments.;SUBSTANCE: proposed electromagnetic system includes at least two protective insulated plates made from conducting material and mounted one after the other in way of flow of orbital fragments; plates are connected in parallel to voltage supply source. System is provided with orbital fragment contact sensor which is mounted in front of inner (in way of flow of orbital fragments) protective plate and amplifier-shaper. Output of orbital fragment contact sensor is connected via amplifier-shaper with starting input of voltage source which is made in form of controllable voltage pulse generator.;EFFECT: enhanced reliability and operational safety of device.;8 cl, 4 dwg
