Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of aerospace, in particular to a reusable water lifting aerospace launching carrier and a using method thereof.
Background
In order to effectively reduce the cost of spaceflight emission, a great deal of scientific exploration and practice are carried out by human beings, and remarkable effects are achieved in part of directions. There are two main ways in the prior art that the achievement has been achieved: firstly, a large-scale airplane is used for carrying a rocket to launch at a high-altitude of ten thousand meters; secondly, the boosting stage and the core stage of the liquid fuel carrier rocket are recycled.
The scheme that the large-scale aircraft is used for carrying the carrier rocket and launching the carrier rocket at a high altitude of ten thousand meters is adopted, the relatively low flight cost of the aircraft is utilized, the carrier rocket is endowed with a certain initial speed and a certain height, and a larger effective load is realized on the premise of the same launching quality, so that the aim of reducing the cost is fulfilled. For example, the Weizhen orbit company mounts a 'LauncherOne' two-stage liquid fuel carrier rocket by using a modified Boeing 747-400 aircraft, and sends 500kg load to the near-earth orbit with the launching mass of about 29t, and the liquid fuel carrier rocket with the same carrying capacity is launched from the ground, and the take-off mass is often more than 50t. The rocket can be carried to a low latitude area by airborne launching, the payload carrying capacity of the rocket with the same launching quality is improved by utilizing the earth rotation linear velocity and the airplane flight velocity, and the launching time is not affected by weather because the rocket is launched at the stratosphere, when the airplane flies to the open sea air to launch the rocket, the first stage of the rocket can drop into the ocean, the pressure of the safety area selection is reduced, and the rocket is more freely launched and selected. However, due to the carrying capacity of the aircraft and the limitation of the mounting space, the aerial launching is only suitable for launching rockets with the mass within tens of tons, the effective load is limited to hundreds of kilograms, and the cost per unit mass of the actual launching is not obviously reduced. In addition, in order to launch rockets of greater mass in the air, airplanes need to be made larger and airports capable of adapting to take-off and landing of such large airplanes are also constraints that limit their development and use.
By adopting a mode of recycling the boosting stage and the core stage of the liquid fuel carrier rocket, the cost of the boosting stage and the core stage of the liquid fuel carrier rocket often accounts for more than 60% of the total rocket launching cost, and the liquid fuel only accounts for less than 1% of the launching cost, so that the total launching cost can be obviously reduced if the recycling of the boosting stage and the core stage of the liquid fuel carrier rocket is realized. The SpaceX company realizes the recovery of the core stage, the boosting stage and the core stage on the falcon 9 and the heavy falcon respectively by utilizing the rocket vertical controlled landing technology, realizes the full-stage recovery on the starboard, and can reduce the effective load emission cost per unit mass to 20% -40% of the traditional rocket emission quotation by combining the recovery and the repeated use of the fairing, thereby having considerable application prospect and being tracked and simulated by countries around the world. However, the technical approach adopted by spaceX corporation also has the following disadvantages: firstly, no matter falcon, heavy falcon or starship, a special launching farm and a special launching tower are required, and in order to facilitate the land recovery boosting stage and the sea recovery core stage, a special land recovery farm apron and a sea recovery platform are also required to be built; the construction of the launching sites, the launching towers, the recovery sites and the offshore recovery platforms brings additional construction, maintenance, guarantee and other costs. Once the positions of the launching sites and the launching towers are determined, the inclination angles of the tracks suitable for launching the aircraft to run are determined, so that the requirements of different tasks such as launching forward running tracks, sun synchronous tracks, polar tracks and geostationary synchronous tracks are met, a large amount of funds are put into constructing a plurality of launching sites at different latitudes, different launching sites are selected according to the requirements of the tasks to execute the launching tasks, or the optimal carrying trajectory is difficult to match for the different launching tasks at the cost of paying more transport capacity, sacrificing the orbit transferring capacity of the upper stage and the like. Thirdly, the booster and the primary vertical recovery of the core require a gesture direct force control system and accurate control of engine power output, the technical difficulty of control system design and realization is high, the engineering reliability requirement is high, the control system cost is increased, and the recovery process is also more strictly constrained to sea conditions and wind field environments. Fourthly, in a mode of vertically loading and launching the load and the rocket in series (parallel), the gravity of the effective load is fully acted on the structure bearing area of the limited size of the rocket body in the vertical direction, the stress is too concentrated, and the mechanism quality of the rocket is required to be greatly increased to ensure the structural strength along with the increase of the effective load, so that the carrying coefficient is reduced; and fifthly, the tail flame of the engine and the ground contact reverse jet flow thereof cause high-temperature and high-speed scouring and ablation on the field apron and the rocket body in the vertical take-off and landing process, so that the design of cooling protection of the field apron and the rocket body and the maintenance cost after the fact are increased.
The world technology is strong and the aerospace is strong, the forefront of the world is overtaken in the field of aerospace emission, the situation that the world cannot follow other people to run at the back is eliminated by virtue of tracking, the situation that the world cannot follow other people is avoided, a new way must be developed, the traditional concept innovation is overtaken, a differentiated development route is adopted, and the later people are on.

S4, after the carrier is continuously accelerated to a preset flight speed and a preset flight height under the drive of the propulsion engine 4, the mounting bracket 7 executes unlocking action to separate from the load, the load flies according to a set program under the drive of a self-contained power system, the carrier stops the propulsion engine 4 in a large pitch angle state, and the carrier turns into free falling motion after reaching the highest point by means of inertial flight in a powerless state.
