Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back INTEGRATION OF SPACECRAFT CONTROL SYSTEMS AND TARGET LOADS S.V. Kravchuk, V.G. Reutov, V.N. Sokolov, D.A. Shelomanov The advantages of integrating the control system equipment and the target load of the spacecraft, which solve the problems of Earth monitoring, are analyzed. An overview of the main tasks solved by such space systems and the requirements for spacecraft control systems and target loads is given. An example of an integrated stabilization and orientation system for a spacecraft and an optoelectronic system placed on board is considered. It is shown that the integration of spacecraft control systems equipment and target loads can make it possible to achieve better characteristics of the "spacecraft – target load" system: increasing its reliability and survivability, improving accuracy characteristics, and reducing mass. Keywords: control system, spacecraft, target load, Earth monitoring. DOI: 10.25791/aviakosmos.3.2021.1207 Pp. 03-12.
