The assembly method was developed by the head scientific institute of Roscosmos TsNIIMash
MOSCOW, September 28. /TASS/. The head scientific institute of Roscosmos TsNIIMash has developed a method for assembling a satellite with wireless charging from composite modules in orbit. This is stated in the patent application, registered in September 2021 (available to TASS).
"A method of constructing an automated spacecraft being upgraded in orbit with an open modular architecture, consisting in assembling a spacecraft from various modules, including payload modules, made in the form of complete spacecraft subsystems," the document says.
As specified in the patent application, the modules will interact in orbit using wireless information and logic exchange. "Information and logical exchange between modules is realized by means of radio-electronic means of communication, and the power supply of modules is carried out wirelessly due to electromagnetic induction," the document says.
TsNIIMash is the main scientific institute of Roscosmos. He conducts system-wide research from the design of the concept of rocket and space technology and long-term development prospects to specific technological developments.
The Institute also manages an automated warning system for dangerous situations in near-Earth outer space (ASPOS OKP).
