| Application No. | Application Title | Issue Date |
| 20080217482 | Thruster-Solar-Sails or ThrusterRing-Spacecraft improved through additional fuel less steering/-attitude control ( - Attitude Control System - ACS ). Solar-Sail-Launch-System, consisting of a self expanding solar sail with docking station and primary fuel-less attitude control/-steering-system Fuel less ACS for solar sails, using furl- and unfurl able ballast-sail-foil-segments for simultaneously displacement of center of mass and center of solar radiation pressure into opposite directions to each other. Solar-Sail-Launch-System ... | 09/11/2008 |
| 20060243863 | Satellite provided with means for countering solar pressure A satellite intended to travel in a constellation of satellites in an area of space in which the dominant disturbing forces and torques are for the most part caused by differential solar pressure between the satellites of the constellation comprises a satellite structur... | 11/02/2006 |
| 20060169844 | Coating for prevention of electrostatic discharge within an equipment in a spatial environment A solar panel (3) having a front face (31) for receiving solar radiation and a rear face (32), for use in a spacecraft (1). The solar panel is covered on the rear face (32) with a coating (4) having negative electric charge emis... | 08/03/2006 |
| 20060038080 | Solar control method for spacecraft The invention relates to a solar control method for spacecraft. The inventive method can be used for the three-dimensional control of a spacecraft (10) comprising a body (12) which is equipped with means of creating internal kinetic moments (14) and... | 02/23/2006 |
| 20060011783 | Method for controlling the attitude of an satellites in elliptic orbits using solar radiation pressure The present invention provides a method for the attitude control of satellites in elliptic orbits or satellites initially placed in circular orbits perturbed to elliptic orbits due to environmental disturbances. The method relies on the application of solar radiation pr... | 01/19/2006 |
| 20050263647 | Method for aligning a spacecraft Controlling the solar torque imposed on a spacecraft (10) in flight by providing a film (52) with variable absorptive, reflective, emissive and/or transmissive properties on the sun side of a thermal shield (50) of the spacecraft (10). As the... | 12/01/2005 |
| 20050263648 | Spacecraft including control vanes having variable absorptive, reflective and emissive characteristics A spacecraft including control vanes for controlling the pointing direction of the spacecraft by providing a variable absorptive, reflective, emissive and/or transmissive properties. The control vanes provide a torque on the spacecraft to maintain the spacecraft pointin... | 12/01/2005 |
