Description

Carrier rocket based on extrusion engine
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of launching of space rockets, in particular to a design scheme of a low-cost reusable rocket.
Background
The current carrier rocket comprises two types of solid fuel and liquid fuel, wherein the solid fuel rocket has the defects of high cost and low carrying capacity, and the liquid rocket mostly needs to use a complex turbine pump to pressurize the fuel, so that the liquid rocket has the defects of complex structure, low reliability and high cost. Extrusion formula engine has with low costs, the reliable advantage of simple structure, but because need carry out whole pressure boost to liquid fuel storage tank, requires the storage tank structure to bear very high internal pressure, and this will reduce rocket carrying capacity in three aspects: firstly, the thickness and the weight of the storage box structure are increased; secondly, the pressure of the combustion chamber of the engine is obviously lower than that of the scheme adopting a turbine pump, so that the specific impulse of the engine is greatly reduced; and thirdly, the weight demand of the gas for pressurization in the storage tank is far greater than that of the pumping-type engine, so that the flying waste weight is increased. The above disadvantages result in extrusion engines that are not the mainstream solution for current rocket designs, and are currently used only for the last stage of a few rockets (the last stage operates in a vacuum environment, and has low requirements on boost pressure).
In the aspect of recovery technology, the most successful scheme in the world at present is an expanding landing leg buffer recovery scheme of the American SpaceX company, the scheme has very high requirements on multiple engine starting, thrust control, navigation guidance control and buffer landing technologies, and has the defects of large landing device weight and large requirement on landing reverse thrust deceleration fuel, so that the carrying capacity is influenced.
Aiming at the problems, on the premise of fully playing the advantages of simple structure and low cost of the extrusion engine, the structure weight and the recovery difficulty are reduced as much as possible by optimally designing the rocket structure, and the scheme of designing and realizing the reusable carrier rocket based on the extrusion engine is an important direction for reducing the launching cost of the carrier rocket.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention mainly solves the technical problem of providing a reusable low-cost multistage carrier rocket scheme using an extrusion type liquid engine and an intersecting spherical shell common-bottom storage tank, which can reduce the structural weight of the rocket, reduce the manufacturing cost of the rocket, and facilitate the reliable recovery of most structures except the final stage, thereby greatly reducing the launching cost of the rocket.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: on the premise of reducing the carrying efficiency (the ratio of the mass of the effective load launched into orbit by the rocket to the mass of takeoff) within a small acceptable range, the carrier rocket is manufactured at low cost and can be recycled, the reliability of the carrier rocket is improved, and the cost of launching the effective load per unit mass into space is greatly reduced.
