Yuzhnoye designs components for spacecraft, taking into account latest engineering achievements and meeting basic space technology requirements:
- High reliability
- Compactness
- Minimum power consumption.
The components can be installed with minimum modifications onboard many spacecraft.
Rotation mechanisms
Rotation mechanisms are designed for single actuation during first 50 hours in orbit. They smoothly rotate and lock in operating position the satellite structural components such as
- Solar panels
- Booms with scientific instruments
- Platforms with antennas and scientific instruments.
There are two types of rotation mechanisms:
- With spring drive
- With electromechanical drive.

THERMAL STABLE-SIZED PANEL HOUSING OF HIGH-RESOLUTION SCANNER

A primary element of load-bearing structure of a scanner is housing in the form of three-dimensional structure consisting of sandwich panels that are mechanically connected and additionally pasted together using angle sections. Tubular and panel casings for mirrors and other structural elements to fasten electronics modules are mounted to the housing.
All panels of the housing have carbon plastic skins and aluminium foil honeycomb filler. To increase structural stiffness, the panels are framed along the perimeter using framing of carbon plastic pipes connected by titanium fittings. Titanium bushes to fasten mirrors, membranes, etc., are pasted in all panels.
