System And Methods For Integrating A Payload With A Launch Vehicle
US Patent:
7093805, Aug 22, 2006
Filed:
Dec 8, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/730566
Inventors:
John A. Graves - Titusville FL, US
Anita E. Gale - Nassau Bay TX, US
Anita E. Gale - Nassau Bay TX, US
Assignee:
The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B64G 1/22
US Classification:
2441731
Abstract:
A system for providing an interface between a launch vehicle and a payload of the launch vehicle includes payload integration points of the launch vehicle that remain unchanged relative to different payload configurations, such that a payload is configurable apart from the launch vehicle. The system makes it possible to de-couple payload installation and launch vehicle turnaround operations. Payloads can be configured off-line from launch vehicle processing, thus making it possible to accommodate unique payloads while reducing wear and tear on the launch vehicle.

International Classification:
B64G001/22
US Classification:
244161, 244158 R
Abstract:
A modular payload carrier for use in a launch vehicle includes at least one module configured to fit in a payload bay of the vehicle and attachable to at least one other module configured to fit in the bay. The module includes an outer wall contoured generally to fit a bottom surface contour of the bay. The carrier can be used for the manifesting of both deployable and non-deployable payloads. Processing of payloads with the carrier can be performed, in large part, separately from launch vehicle processing. Thus launch costs and turnaround times can be reduced.
