    Abstract: A satellite comprises at least one surface (4, 5) intended mainly for exposure to solar radiation and extending away from the satellite in a predetermined direction (Y), an on-board computer (8) having connected thereto an attitude sensing system (7), an orbit control system for imparting thrust to the satellite along predetermined axes, and an attitude control system. Said satellite further comprises a device (6') for controlling the tilt of said surface in parallel with a plurality of planes containing said predetermined direction (and therefore particularly in parallel with the plane of a solar panel forming said surface). Said tilt control device is controlled by said on-board computer. Said tilting can generate a moment of pitch or relocate the centre of gravity onto the axis of the orbit control system.

    Abstract: A liquid ergol supply system for a satellite comprises an upstream conduit (5) connected to a pressurisation gas source by way of a valve (8), a downstream conduit (10) connected to an ergol distributing manifold (11), and a main volume (2) connected at an upstream orifice (4) to this upstream conduit and at a downstream orifice (9) to this downstream conduit; this volume contains at its outlet a capilliary action ergol retention device (13). On the downstream conduit, from the main volume, this feed device also comprises a gas test device (14) capable of detecting the presence in the downstream conduit of an appreciable quantity of gas, then an auxiliary volume (15) appreciably smaller than the main volume and having a second capilliary action ergol retention device (16) separating the inside of this auxiliary volume and the distributing manifold.

    Abstract: Process for continuously monitoring fuel consumption of a space vehicle (1) equipped with a plurality of propulsion units (2), operation of which is brought about by activation means (3) dependent upon activation orders applied to them, characterised in that, starting from a reference instant, the number N of activation orders applied to each of the propulsion units, and their summed duration S are stored, and the mass of fuel M consumed by each propulsion unit since the reference instant is deduced therefrom through the formula: M = f(N) + g(S> where f and g are independent predetermined functions, and the masses consumed by each propulsion unit are summed. Preferably M is calculated by M = @S + m0N.

    Abstract: A liquid propellant supply device for satellites comprises an inlet pipe connected to a source of pressurizing gas, an outlet pipe connected to a propellant distribution manifold and a main storage tank connected at an inlet orifice to the inlet pipe and at an outlet orifice to the outlet pipe. The main storage tank contains a capillary action propellant retention device between the interior of the main storage tank and the outlet pipe. The device further comprises, on the outlet pipe, starting from the main storage tank, a gas test device adapted to detect the presence in the outlet pipe of a significant quantity of gas followed by an auxiliary storage tank substantially smaller than the main storage tank and including a second capillary action propellant retention device separating the interior of the auxiliary storage tank and the distribution manifold.
