US Patent:
2013022, Aug 29, 2013
Filed:
Feb 23, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/403106
Inventors:
Dilip K. Darooka - West Chester PA, US
Assignee:
ALLIANT TECHSYSTEMS INC. - Arlington VA
International Classification:
B64G 1/22, B23P 11/00
US Classification:
2441731, 29428
Abstract:
Payload adapters for launch vehicles include a ring structure having an opening formed therein and at least a portion of an antenna assembly coupled to a circular sidewall of the ring structure at least partially within the opening of the ring structure. Satellite assemblies may include a payload adapter comprising a ring structure having a circular opening formed therein and an antenna assembly including a parabolic reflective dish formed within the circular opening. Launch stack systems may include a primary payload and a secondary payload adapter including an antenna dish integrally formed with a ring structure of the secondary payload adapter. Methods of forming a satellite assembly include positioning at least a portion of the antenna assembly within an opening formed in a ring-shaped payload adapter for a launch vehicle and coupling the at least a portion of the antenna assembly to the ring-shaped payload adapter.
Imaging Satellite System And Method
US Patent:
2014002, Jan 30, 2014
Filed:
Jul 26, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/559321
Inventors:
Dilip K. Darooka - West Chester PA, US
Assignee:
Alliant Techsystems Inc. - Arlington VA
International Classification:
B64G 1/44, B64G 1/40, B64G 1/28
US Classification:
244165, 2441713
Abstract:
A system and method for deploying a satellite having an integrated bus and an aperture, wherein the integrated bus extends along its longitudinal axis and wherein the aperture intersects the longitudinal axis. The satellite is deployed into an orbit, wherein deploying includes orienting the satellite so that the aperture points at a desired location. The satellite is spun so that the logitudinal axis and the aperture remain pointing at the desired location and data regarding the desired location is captured via the aperture.
