Flight training device for a solar coronagraph mission.

摘要

Device flight training mission solar coronagraphy constituted: - by a carrier satellite (COR) having a center (O), with the center of the sun (S), defines an axis of the carrier satellite (XSAT), comprising said satellite carrier (COR) a coronagraph (10) facing the sun (S) and at least one solar panel (11a) - by a occulter satellite (OCC), located between the sun (S) and the carrier satellite (COR) which generates a cast shadow (13, 14) on the carrier satellite (COR), the sun (S) being, the occulter satellite (OCC) and the coronagraph (10) aligned in this order and defining a line of sight (XCOR ) of the coronagraph (10), and hiding the shadow cast (13, 14) by the occulting satellite (OCC) on the carrier satellite (COR) the entire central part of the sun (S), called solar disk, for the coronagraph (10 ), allowing said coronagraph (10) taking images of the solar corona, - wherein the coronagraph (10) decentered, displaced one side of the carrier satellite (COR), the line of sight (XCOR) of the coronagraph (10) is distinct from the axis of the carrier satellite (XSAT), and maintaining the occulter satellite (OCC) on said line of sight (XCOR) of coronagraph (10) carries which projected the shadow movement of the projected shadow (13, 14) by the occulting satellite (OCC) to the side of the carrier satellite (COR) on which the coronagraph (10), so is ( 13, 14) by the occulting satellite (OCC) on the carrier satellite (COR) does not entirely cover the facing the sun (S) of said satellite carrier (COR) face, wherein the solar panel (11a) is located in one face of said carrier satellite (COR) oriented toward the sun (S) and positioned such that it is not fully covered by said projected shadow (13, 14).
