The paper analyzes the design features of a small technological spacecraft justifying the choice of design parameters and modeling the functioning of the spacecraft in terms of micro-acceleration requirements. These requirements are imposed in order to successfully implement gravitationally sensitive technological processes, determine the possibility and feasibility of their implementation and regulate the choice of design parameters, structural layout diagram and executive bodies of the orientation and motion control system of a small technological spacecraft. The experience of designing, creating and operating medium-class technological spacecraft is generalized and analyzed. Common points and differences are identified and discussed. The approaches proposed in the work and the results obtained can be used in the design of small technological spacecraft.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
