Al contrario de lo que ocurre con los autom\u00f3viles, es raro encontrar m\u00e1s de 10 sat\u00e9lites que sean iguales. La mayor\u00eda de ellos son \u00fanicos, puesto que son construidos minuciosamente pieza por pieza. A pesar de este car\u00e1cter singular, todos est\u00e1n dise\u00f1ados y construidos siguiendo el mismo esquema.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Un sat\u00e9lite se compone de dos partes principales: una plataforma (o \u00abbus\u00bb) y una carga \u00fatil (instrumentos o experimentos).<\/p>\n<p>La plataforma es la estructura met\u00e1lica b\u00e1sica. Debe ser resistente, pero ligera. Incluye el armaz\u00f3n sobre el que se construye todo el conjunto y los distintos sistemas de la nave espacial: propulsores, motor principal, dep\u00f3sitos de combustible y sistema de alimentaci\u00f3n el\u00e9ctrica. La carga \u00fatil incluye el equipo para comunicarse con tierra, as\u00ed como c\u00e1maras y otros instrumentos cient\u00edficos.<\/p>\n<p>Los componentes de un sat\u00e9lite se fabrican en muchos lugares diferentes, pero todos ellos se env\u00edan a un solo centro donde se ensamblan y se prueban en salas blancas especiales. S\u00f3lo entonces se env\u00eda la nave espacial al centro de lanzamiento.<\/p>\n<p>Dado que en el espacio no hay talleres, muchos sat\u00e9lites llevan sus propias \u2018piezas de recambio\u2019. Si se produce una aver\u00eda, los controladores en tierra pueden ordenar a la nave espacial que cambie a un componente de repuesto.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spacecraft come in many shapes and sizes.
