The present invention is intended for use in the space engineering for building new spacecraft (SC). The objectives of the present invention are: improving technical and operational characteristics of the space platform (SP), increasing the maximum mass of spacecraft built on the basis of this SP, enabling the injection of SC from its geo-transitional orbit to the working point of geostationary orbit (GSO), expanding the functionality and power of the target SC equipment. Said objectives are attained by the claimed SP comprising its primary structure of the hull (PSH), formed as a mesh structure of composite materials and carrying an instrument compartment, the ends of PSH protruding beyond the plane of the panels of the instrument compartment. At the ends of PSH, docking nodes with a de-docking system and a payload are located, and inside the PSH there are storage tanks for working fluid for correction and orientation engines. The instrument compartment is made of panels fastened to each other, some of them serving as radiator panels. Devices and equipment of on-board service systems are arranged inside and outside the instrument compartment. On the outside of the instrument compartment, the following is arranged: correction and orientation engines, docking nodes with payload, rotating wings of solar battery panels (SB) folded for launch and fixed symmetrically on two opposite sides of the instrument compartment by rods connected to the devices for turning the wings of the SB, the wings of the SB being shaped as flat panels fastened together. Also the SP carries engines to inject the spacecraft into the GSO, located outside the instrument compartment and capable of changing their position. Technical results provided by the presented set of features are increase in the maximum permissible mass of the SC on the basis of this SP due to its improved PSH; spacecraft injection from the intermediate orbit to the GSO operating point using the electric propulsion system engines; expansion of functionality and power of the target equipment by increasing the maximum permissible mass of the SC; producing a universal platform of superheavy class; reducing the time and cost of adapting the SC to launch vehicles.
