摘要
在欧洲航天局及法国国家空间研究中心的联合支持下,Astrium公司和TAS公司目前正在联合开发欧洲大型通信卫星平台Alphabus,作为对目前欧洲已有卫星平台Eurostar和Spacebus产品线的延伸。正常情况下Alphabus平台可以承载功率12～18kW,质量1500kg(最大)的有效载荷。文章主要介绍了Alphabus平台研制的背景、途径、进展情况及技术特点,并分析了对我国大型通信卫星平台研发的启示和借鉴作用。
Under the support of ESA and CNES,Astrium and TAS are jointly developing a large communications satellite platform named as Alphabus,as a complement to Europe’s current product line of Eurostar and Spacebus.The Alphabus can embark large payload power ranging from 12kW up to 18kW,which masses up to 1 500 kg as nominal domain.This paper introduces the background,development and progress of Alphabus,and its design characteristics,and puts forward the suggestion to the development of China is large communications satellite platform.
