Title:
SPACECRAFT DOCKING IN PLANETARY ORBIT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/006478
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A spacecraft docking in a planetary orbit comprising a conical external element (12) of the shape conformable to the shapes of the elements connected thereto, and comprising at least one kinetic energy absorption rotor arrangement (1) fixed to the bearing construction (17), in which kinetic energy of progressive movement is transformed into kinetic energy of rotational movement, wherein the arrangement comprises a moveable beater element (10) cooperating with racks (2) interengaged with toothed wheels (3, 3a, 3b, 3c)driving the kinetic energy rotor accumulators (4, 5, 6) of a given moment of inertia, characterized in that at least two racks (2) of the kinetic energy absorption rotor arrangement (1) cooperating with the beater element (10) interengages with toothed wheels (3, 3a, 3b, 3c) of the kinetic energy rotor accumulators (4, 5, 6) of differentiated capabilities of energy accumulation, wherein between the beater element (10) and racks (2) interengaged with toothed wheels (3, 3a, 3b, 3c) of kinetic energy rotor accumulators (4, 5, 6) differentiated gaps (7, 8, 9) are defined providing differentiated idle stroke of the beater element (10) relative to the racks.
