  • Patent number: 11565832
    Abstract: A harmless low-consumption on-orbit continuous launch system includes a satellite platform, a launch apparatus and a plurality of CubeSats. The satellite platform carries the launch apparatus and dozens or hundreds of CubeSats, and is launched from a ground into an orbit for on-orbit operation. The launch apparatus is configured to store the plurality of CubeSats and provide power for on-orbit launching of each of the CubeSats. A solid working medium in the launch apparatus is activated by heating to undergo a phase change, and the activated solid working medium expands instantly and is converted into a high-pressure gaseous working medium. The high-pressure gaseous working medium does work to eject the CubeSats, such that the CubeSats obtain a speed increment. The CubeSats enter a transfer orbit towards different target spacecraft through the speed increment applied by the launch apparatus to perform a plurality of different on-orbit serving missions.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11124282
    Abstract: The present invention discloses bionic stratospheric airships, related to the technical field of aircraft. The hull shape of the bionic stratospheric airship is obtained by lofting the shape of physalia physalis; one or more buoyancy gasbags, one or more ballonets, and a heat regulating gasbag are provided inside the hull; the buoyancy gasbags are filled with lighter-than-air gas and are provided at an upper layer inside the hull; the ballonets are filled with air and are provided at a lower layer inside the hull; the heat regulating gasbag is provided at a middle layer inside the hull and is filled with a working medium reversibly regulated between a gas state and a liquid state; and a thermodynamic cycle device for heating or pressurizing the working medium is provided inside the heat regulating gasbag.
