Abstract: An isolation module between a vibration generating device, such as a satellite launcher, and a structure to be isolated, such as the structure carrying a satellite, comprising: at least two fastening parts, and a connecting means. The first fastening part, called the frame, comprises at least two parallel radial branches, and the second fastening part, called the support, comprises at least one radial branch extending between the two branches of the frame. The connecting means is made from an elastomer material and includes at least one pair of identical elastomer pads, being mounted in series between the frame and the support.

Abstract: A satellite support structure to support at least one device of the satellite. The support structure includes structural elements with at least one of the structural elements being a damping connector linking at least two other structural elements of the support structure. The damping connector includes an elastomer element and at least one flat angle bracket having at least two wings to be linked by the respective connectors to the damped structural elements. The elastomer element is made from elastomer material with loss angle ? greater than ten degrees and is arranged such that the transmission of forces between one of the wings of the flat angle bracket and the connectors is achieved entirely via the elastomer element.

Abstract: The invention related to a device comprising at least three insulation modules distributed around vibration equipment. Each module comprises at least two rigid parts, at least one of said parts being an outer part fixed to the carrier structure and at least one of said parts being an inner part fixed to the equipment or the stand (3) thereof. At least one elastomer insulating plug connects an inner part and an outer part and at least one of said parts carries two longitudinal flexible abutments and two tangential flexible abutments which each have a free end facing another respectively outer or inner rigid part, said free end being at a distance from the inner part in an idle position. The invention can be applied to satellite equipment.

Abstract: The device comprises at least three isolating modules each having two rigid pieces, one of which is fastened to the carrier structure and the other of which is fastened to the support for the vibrating equipment, these pieces being linked by at least one isolating stud made of an elastomer, which attenuates the transmission of low-amplitude vibrations from the equipment to the structure, the deformation of at least one stud in tension-compression and in shear being limited by three flexible stops each mounted on only one of the pieces and the free end of which is facing the other of said pieces and not in contact with it, at rest. Each stop comprises an elastomer element coming into contact with the facing other piece during deformations of sufficient amplitude of the isolating stud, the stiffness of the elastomer of the stop being greater than that of the stud. Application to the isolation of vibrating equipment on a satellite carrier structure.
