(this patent document mainly describes an embodiment of launching platform + vertically mounted main rocket, and other embodiments can be analogized)
As is known, the launching process of a spacecraft is a process of providing a desired orbital flight speed for a target device which finally enters an orbit by using a rocket to jet a large amount of substances according to a momentum conservation law. In the launching of the spacecraft, most rockets are vertically installed, after the rocket is ignited, the rocket flies vertically upwards firstly, then turns a corner through a program, the rocket starts to incline, a horizontal velocity component is provided to a required direction, the vertical velocity component is gradually reduced, the horizontal velocity component is increased, and finally the spacecraft enters an orbit at a set height to stably run.
Thus, we analyze the relevant emission elements of the spacecraft: spacecraft orbit altitude, tangential flight velocity, and normal flight velocity. Under the condition that the earth is an ideal sphere without atmosphere, theoretically, the spacecraft can fly along the surface of the earth, the practical spacecraft needs to be hundreds of kilometers above the ground, mainly for avoiding the resistance of low-altitude atmosphere, and therefore the flying height of the spacecraft is necessary; based on the law of circular motion, it is obvious that the required tangential flight speed is also not freely changeable for different orbits of different spacecrafts; however, we can find that the normal velocity during launch is only a process element during launch, and is not a necessary parameter for the final orbit of the spacecraft, and the magnitude of the normal velocity can be changed according to the launch requirement.
The invention relates to a spacecraft slow-speed high-throw launching method and a spacecraft launching platform, which are based on the principle, the launching process of a rocket is adjusted necessarily, and the normal speed of the rocket is controlled mainly in the initial stage of launching, or the normal speed and the tangential speed of the rocket are separated for a long time and are controlled respectively and independently. Compared with the existing launching mode, the rocket is firstly slowly lifted off at a very low speed until the rocket flies out of a dense atmosphere, and then is accelerated to finish the work in a high-throwing stage; then, normal flight is changed to the second, the task is mainly to control the tangential speed of the rocket in a turning way, and under the condition that almost no air resistance exists, the engine does work under full load, so that the tangential speed of the rocket is rapidly increased. For launching in a mode of 'launching platform + main rocket', after the launching platform slowly rises to a set height, the main rocket starts to ignite, the processes of ignition, program turning, acceleration and the like are started according to a set program, the launching program is sequentially expanded, the tangential speed of the main rocket starts to generate and rapidly increases, and finally the spacecraft enters a set orbit. In practice, in order to furthest strip off the task of normal flight of the main rocket, as an optimal scheme, after the launching platform slowly ascends to a set height, the normal acceleration is directly started, and the main rocket does not start to be ignited to launch and fly according to a program until the normal speed reaches a set value or reaches the set height according to the speed. Meanwhile, the launching platform starts a shutdown falling program and enters a returning process.
The spacecraft slow-speed high-throw launching method is developed and actually has the revolutionary property of launching technology in a certain sense. The technical essence is that two major hindering factors which need to be overcome in the rocket launching process are respectively overcome in stages. In the first stage, the slow ascending stage has the core task of overcoming air resistance and gravity; in the second stage, the second stage is the orbit flight stage, and the core task is to overcome the gravitational attraction and the air resistance. This results in three technical effects: firstly, the design of the rocket and the spacecraft does not give importance to the streamline shape flying in dense atmosphere, a fairing is not required to be arranged, and the cross section of the rocket can be designed to be very large; secondly, in the initial stage of practical development and implementation of the technology, under the same fuel energy condition, the mass carrying capacity of the launching system is reduced along with the increase of the projectile height within a certain range; thirdly, under the condition of the same target spacecraft quality, for the main rocket, because the air resistance and the vertical lift-off energy consumption are reduced to be extremely low, the fuel required to be carried can be effectively reduced; or the length-diameter ratio of the main rocket and the whole load thereof can be effectively reduced due to the widening of the cross section dimension, the fuel carrying capacity of the main rocket can be effectively increased under the condition that the fixed mass of the main rocket is not increased or slightly increased while the system stability is increased, and the mass of the finally-targeted spacecraft can be increased according to the ziolkowski formula.
The invention relates to a launching platform derived from a spacecraft slow-speed high-throw launching method, which mainly comprises a launching platform body, namely a bearing system (31), a main engine system (32), an attitude adjusting system (33), a return system (34), corresponding internal equipment, instruments and meter systems and the like.
The invention relates to a spacecraft slow-speed high-throw launching method and a launching platform, which can bring about a dramatic application effect by application:
1) according to the launching method, the sections of the rocket and the spacecraft can be made to be very large along with the weakening of air resistance, so that the spacecraft with a large volume or special-shaped form can be launched within a certain limit;
2) according to the launching method, in part of launching tasks, because the energy consumption of lifting off is transferred to the launching platform and the energy consumption of air resistance is weakened in a large proportion, under the same target track and launching load conditions, the energy carried by the main rocket is relatively low; or under the same fixed mass condition as the traditional rocket, the main rocket can carry more fuel, and the mass carrying capacity can be improved to some extent;
3) according to the launching method, the special slow-speed high-throw launching platform provides multiple installation basic conditions for the main rocket, and according to launching practices, the main rocket can be vertically installed (vertically installed), obliquely installed upwards (obliquely installed) or even horizontally installed (horizontally installed).
4) According to the launching method, the launching platform only flies in the vertical direction in the launching process, so that the control difficulty of the launching platform in the launching and flying process is reduced, and the launching platform can become an independent first-level of an aerospace launching system and can be controlled independently; meanwhile, compared with the traditional cylindrical form, the large cross section form reduces the technical difficulty of return control of the launching platform in practice, so that the technical difficulty of launching platform recovery is greatly reduced;
5) according to the launching method, the realization possibility is provided for subsequent applications such as aviation fuel engines or nuclear energy engines, the aerospace field and other subsequent technical developments, and at least a technical support basis is provided;
6) the spacecraft slow-speed high-throw launching platform also has other microscopic performance optimization and improvement effects, for example, simple ineffective energy waste caused by air resistance can be effectively reduced; as another example, according to the preferable scheme of the invention, the launching platform can be recycled, the launching of the spacecraft can effectively reduce the abandonment of low-altitude substances in a certain sense, the fairing is not necessary to be a necessary component, and the original first-stage rocket and the booster are converted into the recyclable launching platform, so that the waste of substances is reduced, and the threat and the interference of the abandoned substances to the living beings and the environment on the earth surface are reduced.
However, it should be clearly noted that, although the spacecraft slow-speed high-throw launching mode and launching platform of the present invention effectively overcome the simple ineffective energy waste caused by air resistance, it still may but does not necessarily have an energy saving effect, and theoretically, the overall energy consumption may be even higher than that of the traditional launching mode, and of course, the energy saving effect is set according to the parameters of a specific launching task.

Detailed Description
The technical solution implementation principle in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without any creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
The invention relates to a slow-speed high-throw launching method of a spacecraft, which is technically characterized in that two tasks of overcoming air resistance and gravity in the launching process are properly separated and respectively overcome by stages as key points. The external physical technical characteristics are that the launching system penetrates through dense atmospheric layer at a slow speed and then carries out tangential acceleration, thus realizing the stable operation of the spacecraft in space.
Air resistance, according to its general principle formula f ═ C ρ Sv2)/2. In current aerospace technology, the magnitude of drag is not very large relative to gravity and rocket thrust under the precise calculation and scientific settings of aerospace technologists. Because the air density ρ decreases as the rocket increases in velocity v as it flies, there will always be an optimum relationship curve for both. However, the maximum value can reach dozens of tons or hundreds of tons, the existence of low-altitude dense air not only needs a fairing, but also needs to increase the structural strength of a rocket system, and the uneven airflow causes troubles to the control precision of the flight trajectory for the rocket flying at high speed.
In particular, as can be seen from the above formula, the air resistance is proportional to the cross-sectional area S of the rocket, i.e., proportional to the square of the cross-sectional dimension (or radial dimension) of the rocket. According to the traditional launching mode, the increase of the cross section size of the spacecraft not only causes the sharp increase of ineffective energy consumption, but also causes the air resistance to become the bottleneck whether the launching of the spacecraft can be successful in a certain even very small time period; at the same time, the increased size of the spacecraft requires larger fairings. This greatly limits the desire of space scientists to launch large volume spacecraft.
The invention relates to a slow-speed high-throw type launching method of a spacecraft, which can improve the influence of air resistance by selecting a smaller lifting speed at the initial stage of rocket launching. According to the assumption that the air resistance is kept unchanged, the reduction of the speed can provide conditions for increasing the cross section of the rocket and the aerospace, and meanwhile, the reduction of the speed and the increase of the cross section can fully compress the length-diameter ratio of a rocket system, so that the controllability of the variation range of the gravity center of the rocket and the stability of the rocket are improved. And so on. These variations have real advantages for launching large cross-section spacecraft.
The invention relates to a slow-speed high-throw launching method of a spacecraft, which can be directly applied by changing a launching flight program from a first-stage rocket of a traditional rocket from the principle perspective. Namely: after the rocket is ignited and accelerated to obtain an initial speed which accords with the set value, the acceleration is adjusted to be zero or an extremely small value, the rocket is kept flying in the atmosphere at a slow speed until the launching system flies out of a dense atmosphere, and then accelerated flying is started, so that slow-speed high-throwing is realized.
In order to ensure the successful implementation of a project, the invention provides a spacecraft slow-speed high-throw launching method, which is characterized in that the value of an initial technical parameter is set, the slow-speed flying speed is less than or equal to 100.0m/s, and the slow-speed flying height is greater than or equal to 12.0Km, and the parameter is the parameter limit of the patent claims. In fact, to fully exploit the slow high throw launch effect, those two values should be far from that limit value. Preferably, the slow flying speed is generally not higher than the level of 20.0m/s, the lower limit value is not limited, the slow flying height is not lower than 40.0Km, and the upper limit value is not limited. Of course, the parameters selected for the actual launching task need to be considered for balancing energy consumption with the quality of the target task, and the influence of atmospheric events (such as wind and thunder) on the launching system.
Meanwhile, in order to fully shorten the travel of the launching system in dense air, avoid the influence of atmospheric events on the launching system and simplify the control on the rocket system, preferentially, the vertical direction is selected as the flight direction in the slow-speed flight stage of the launching system. And therefore, under the condition of considering the recoverability beneficial to the traditional first-stage rocket, a slow-speed high-throw launching platform of the spacecraft is developed.
The invention relates to a slow-speed high-throw launching platform of a spacecraft, which mainly comprises a launching platform body, namely a bearing system (31), a main engine system (32), an attitude adjusting system (33), a return system (34), corresponding auxiliary equipment, instrument and meter systems (the equipment pipelines and the like belong to auxiliary measurement and control connection supporting components of the front main function systems, the configuration, the sharing and the specificity of each launching task are different, and serial numbers are not marked in the attached drawings) and the like.
1. The invention relates to a system composition of a spacecraft slow-speed high-throw launching platform
Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of the principle, which shows the system principle and the launching platform structure principle of the spacecraft slow-speed high-throw launching method of the present invention, wherein 1 is a target spacecraft, 2 is a main rocket (with a shadow part), and 3 is a launching platform.
In the illustrated embodiment, the target spacecraft (1) is a medium-sized spacecraft with a spherical main body. The main rocket (2) is divided into a primary rocket stage and a final rocket stage, the primary rocket stage is arranged on the table top of the launching platform (3) in a jacking mode, the table top is provided with a positioning device, and the final rocket stage is sleeved in the spacecraft (1), so that the installation mode is favorable for the ignition takeoff of the main rocket (2) and the ignition separation of the spacecraft (3). In practical design, attention should be paid to setting safety settings with various possible accidents, such as a platform surface guiding device, and the safety settings have a controllable fastening function, so that fastening in an abnormal state is facilitated, and active loosening and auxiliary releasing after ignition of a main rocket are facilitated.
In the schematic representation of the structural principle of the launching platform (3), in order to make the drawing clear, the serial numbers of the subsystems of the platform rocket are marked on the characteristic executing parts, the equipment installed in the launching platform body is not explicitly shown, but the fuel bin, the auxiliary agent bin, the accessory equipment instrument bin, the attitude adjustment special power cabin and the like are respectively and schematically represented by adopting dotted line boxes.
The embodiment illustrated in the figure also shows the technical feature that the cross section of the spacecraft can be made very large, and the cross section of the rocket system can be made very large, due to the slow flight in dense atmosphere. In the figure, the diameter of the final stage of the main rocket (2) is similar to that of the traditional rocket, the cross sections of the primary stage of the main rocket (2) and the platform rocket are very large, so that the installation height of a launching system is not increased but can be reduced actually when a spacecraft with larger size is launched; meanwhile, each power cabin is not limited to the traditional vertical assembly, and can also be transversely arranged (the arrangement interval form of the fuel cabin auxiliary agent cabin and the like is indicated by dotted lines in the figure), and generally, the capacity of the large-cross-section container is larger than that of the vertical arrangement. The medium pipelines and the equipment and elements thereof are schematically represented by reserving a bin section in a centralized way, and can be distributed in practice and connected with corresponding actuators through middle reserved channels or outer reserved channels.
Bearing system (31), its main part is the launching platform body, and the launching platform body is a support body class structure of high strength, and its intensity and rigidity require can guarantee that platform self stable in structure, can bear main rocket system equipment to can stand the impact force of returning the in-process, require to adopt the light material of high temperature resistance as far as possible on this basis. The outline of the main plane of the launching platform is circular or N-edge polygon (N is more than or equal to 3), and the surface of the launching platform is provided with holes or is not provided with holes according to a specific launching task. The launch platform surface is provided with positioning, guiding and fixing accessories, has the functions of installing, positioning and launching a spacecraft rocket, and is generally called as an installation frame.
The main engine system (32) comprises a fuel bin, an auxiliary agent bin, corresponding accessory equipment and pipelines which are arranged in the launching platform body, and also comprises engines arranged at the lower part of the launching platform, wherein the number of the engines can be 1, or M engines (M is more than or equal to 3); the main engine system is similar to the first engine system of a traditional rocket, and necessary heat preservation and protection facilities are all in the right condition according to the nature of fuel.
An attitude control system (33) comprising a plurality of instrument communication valve control systems and a main engine system
Figure BSA0000172412540000091
And other spouts and the like. It is known that the ideal normal launch trajectory in theoretical design is difficult to guarantee in practice because the launch platform deviates from the design value after being lifted off due to the influence of the uniformity of the engine power, the influence of atmospheric events (such as air flow) in the large-stroke slow-speed lifting process and even the earth system. The launch platform is equipped with positioning, orientation and leveling instrumentation. And the control center controls according to the instrument feedback data, so that the levelness of the bearing surface of the launching platform, the position and the direction of the launching platform after being lifted off and the like are kept within a set tolerance range.
And the return system (34) comprises an attitude adjusting system, a deceleration resistance device, a recoil device, a buffer device and the like. After the main rocket is discharged, the launching platform begins the return stroke. When the launching platform is at a set height close to the ground, an engine (a special posture adjusting engine or a main engine) arranged at the bottom of the launching platform works again in high power to provide a reverse thrust power, and the launching tower is ensured to land stably.
The return system may be provided with mechanical resistance means, but is generally not provided with uncontrollable resistance means such as a drogue. The bottom of the launching platform is provided with a buffer column base to protect equipment such as an engine and the like from being impacted. The buffering column base preferably adopts a hydraulic spring, a hinge type elastic device and the like, so that the phenomenon of indefinite bounce can be avoided after the launching platform falls to the ground.
The hydraulic spring is a hydraulic device which is mainly composed of a piston type oil cylinder and a type throttle valve, elements such as a check valve, a liquid supplementing valve or an air release valve can be added according to different purposes to form complete matching of various systems, but the core components are the piston type oil cylinder and the throttle valve, and the throttle valve is preferably an adjustable throttle valve. The working principle is that when the piston rod is pushed or pulled, liquid flows into the oil cylinder on the top surface or the bottom surface of the piston through the throttle valve, resistance which hinders the reciprocating motion of the piston rod is formed under the action of the throttle valve, the motion of the piston rod is damped, the effect similar to spring damping is achieved, and the damping rigidity of the hydraulic spring is achieved by adjusting the flow of the throttle valve. Hydraulic springs are effective springs for pushing or pulling in a single pass, requiring additional recovery after use. If the device is used for the alternate working condition of pushing and pulling, or is provided with a return device of the return pump in the ground application state, the device can continuously work. In application, attention is paid to that hydraulic workers and hydraulic pipelines are required to be made into structural parts for high-strength stress levels.

The invention relates to a slow-speed high-throw type launching platform of a spacecraft, which is used as a subsystem of a space launching system, and the technical performance of the launching platform is matched with the requirement of the space launching system. The launch platform is functionally equivalent to the first stage rocket of a conventional rocket, but it is not intended that a conventional rocket simply starts from the second stage and becomes the main rocket as defined herein. The primary rocket of the main rocket has larger fuel capacity requirement than the secondary rocket of the traditional rocket, and particularly, the power of the engine is required to be greatly improved than the power of the secondary engine of the original rocket, so that enough large thrust can be provided, and the tangential speed of the main rocket can be rapidly increased.
The installation mode of the main rocket on the launching platform comprises a plurality of modes such as vertical installation, inclined installation, horizontal installation and the like, and the vertical installation mode is suggested to be adopted for the installation of the main rocket on the launching platform in the initial implementation stage. The main rocket is initially designed to take off from a take-off mode on a launching platform by taking vertical installation as an example, the main rocket is ignited and takes off actively, the mounting frame mainly carries out strong restraint on five of six degrees of freedom of the main rocket, and the vertical axial movement of the main rocket is not limited by strong force generally so as to be beneficial to the automatic launching and releasing of the main rocket. And so on.

From the engineering practice method, the embodiment can actually intentionally relax the flight error of the launching platform in one direction, so that the return of the launching platform has a fixed landing range. A slight inclination angle relative to the vertical direction can be generally arranged in the flight direction of the main rocket, so that the launching field and the recovery field are separated at intervals, the interval is generally not more than 10.0Km, and the launching field can even be arranged beside the edge of the recovery field under the condition that the practical control capability is fully ensured. Therefore, the safety of the facility of the launching site is facilitated, the difficulty of transportation from the launching platform to the launching site can be reduced, and the reuse of the launching platform is facilitated.
The launching site is a site for high-strength curing of concrete, the recovery site can cover the concrete but not strictly requires, but needs manual finishing, leveling and curing, so that the ground surface of the recovery site can be subjected to wind and rain to keep necessary levelness and hardness, the set bearing capacity is realized, and the impact when the launching platform returns can be borne and the running of heavy equipment can be guaranteed. The surface of the recycling site can be planted with flowers and grass to form a lawn, and the beautification is not listed in the claims of the invention.
And an on-site factory is arranged at a safe position relative to the launching site and the recovery site, and is used for carrying out inspection maintenance and other production assembly tasks on the recovered launching platform. The distance from the factory to the field of emission should also not be greater than 10.0Km in general.
