У России появилось новое оборудование для перевозки спутников на космодромы

"Reshetnev" developed it for various types of transport

"RESHETNEV", together with its subsidiary - JSC "NPO PM - Small Design Bureau" - showed high-tech equipment for delivering satellites to spaceports by various modes of transport. A container with a model of a spacecraft successfully traveled by road and rail.

Inside the container, there are automatic systems to maintain temperature, humidity, and cleanliness. They protect the satellite from unwanted mechanical stress.

The modernized transport container is equipped with lifting equipment - a support-tilter, which is used to give the spacecraft the necessary spatial position. Its use will reduce the time spent working with the satellite at the spaceport. The increased length of the container, compared to the previous design, will ensure its increased capacity, which will make it possible to transport spacecraft of various classes and modifications.
