Heavy suspension

The characteristics of heavy suspension include:

Energy saving: Heavy suspension does not require the use of thrusters to maintain the satellite's attitude, thus greatly reducing the propellant required for the satellite. In this way, the energy consumption of satellites will be greatly reduced, extending their service life.

Non polluting: As heavy suspension does not require the use of propellers, there is no emission of exhaust gases and chemicals released by rocket injection, which will not cause pollution to the Earth's environment. Especially for environmentally sensitive tasks such as observation satellites, heavy suspension can ensure the accuracy and stability of observations.

High reliability: Heavy suspension does not rely on mechanical devices to achieve attitude stability, but generates torque through small gravitational differences. This method is relatively simple and reliable, reducing the risk of mechanical failures and improving the reliability of satellites.

Wide applicability: Heavy suspension does not depend on specific satellite configurations and mass distributions, and is suitable for satellites of various sizes. Basically, as long as the satellite operates within the range of the Earth's gravitational gradient, it can use heavy suspension to achieve attitude stability.

The application of heavy suspension includes but is not limited to the following aspects:

Scientific research: Heavy suspension can be applied to various scientific research satellites, such as astronomical observation satellites, Earth observation satellites, etc. By maintaining the stability of the satellite's attitude, accurate observation and measurement can be carried out, and scientific data can be obtained and analyzed.

Satellite communication: Satellite communication is an important field of satellite applications, and heavy suspension can maintain the attitude stability of satellites, ensuring the transmission and reception quality of communication signals. Heavy suspension is crucial for maintaining the established direction and angle of communication satellites during operation.

Navigation positioning: Heavy suspension can be applied to Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites to ensure that they maintain a stable attitude in space. In this way, ground users can receive signals from satellites more accurately and achieve precise positioning.

Remote sensing monitoring: Heavy suspension can be applied to remote sensing satellites, such as Earth, meteorological and other remote sensing satellites. By maintaining the stability of the satellite's attitude, high-quality remote sensing images and data can be obtained for use in geological exploration, weather prediction, environmental monitoring, and other fields.

Spacecraft networking: Heavy suspension can be applied to satellites that form a spacecraft network. By maintaining stable attitude, high-precision transmission and communication between satellites can be achieved, improving the reliability and performance of networking.
