"The invention relates to methods of shelter or camouflage and can be used to reduce the visibility of the spacecraft," RIA Novosti quoted the message of the Federal Service for Intellectual Property.
The reduced visibility of the object occurs due to the coating of a special air-bubble film, which scatters the light.
It is proposed to mask spacecraft located in orbits with a height of more than 10-20 thousand kilometers.
On August 10, the Canopus-V Earth remote sensing spacecraft No. 5 and 6, launched into orbit in December 2018, were put into operation after the completion of flight tests.
