Central Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering (TsNIIMASH) State Corporation Roskosmos has developed a method of assembling a satellite with wireless charging modules in space. This is reported by TASS.
From a patent application it follows that the modules will interact in orbit with a wireless information and logical exchange with an energy supply organization.
“Method for building an automatic spacecraft with an open modular architecture, which consists in assembling a spacecraft from various modules, including the payload modules made in the form of completed spacecraft subsystems,” the document says.
Earlier in Russia, the manufacture of the first Scythian system was used, which, like its competitors, Starlink and OneWeb, is designed for broadband Internet access. The corresponding spacecraft was called “SKIF-D”. According to the plans, the Scyth system will include 12 spacecraft located in an orbit 8070 kilometers high.
