Description

The proposed utility model relates to means of protection from space debris and can be used to prevent the meeting of different sizes of fragments of space debris from the Earth.

A device is known “RF Patent No. 2040449, IPC B64C 9/00, publ. 07.27.95, "containing a source of electrical energy, a system for detecting bodies to be destroyed, and laser systems located on cable systems directed in opposite directions. The destruction of fragments of space debris occurs by exposure to them by laser radiation.

However, this device has the disadvantage associated with its low productivity in the destruction of small, spatially distributed fragments of space debris, as well as the impossibility of using meteorite-cometary matter in large objects and high energy consumption during laser radiation.

Also known device "Abstracts of the international scientific and technical conference" Integrated Earth Protection - 2000 "- Snezhinsk .: / Ed. RFNC-VNIITF, 2000, 87-88 pp. ”, Containing a platform, an impactor located on it, a control unit, using this device, space debris fragments are destroyed by shock-kinetic effects based on the interaction (collision) of space debris with an artificial drummer placed in orbit, which is encountered in relation to the orbit of space debris fragments.

However, this device has the disadvantage associated with its low efficiency in the destruction of small, spatially distributed fragments of space debris.

In addition, it is known device "RF Patent No. 2462401, IPC B64G 99/00, publ. 09/27/2012, "which is the prototype of the alleged invention and consists in the fact that the destruction of a fragment of an object of space debris, consisting of a meteorite-comet substance occurs using a device that acts on this object by explosions of explosives in the surface layers of a meteorite-comet substance with the use of space interceptors sequentially launched to the object from meteorite-cometary matter launched from the space platform on which the pointing device to the target, but first of all, the interceptor is launched without an explosive substance (explosive), and with a drive beacon installed on it, to drive the space interceptors starting later, and then, they produce explosions in a sequential series, using space interceptors equipped with explosives, with a varying frequency, consistent with the geometric dimensions and density of this meteorite-cometary material obtained using remote sensing and spectrographic studies, and gradually increasing mo Nost the aforementioned explosions.

However, this device has the disadvantage that a series of explosions produced by the meteorite-comet material with the help of space interceptors equipped with explosives spreads along only one predetermined path, thereby striking only a certain part of the object’s body, having low efficiency, and requires a relatively large amount of time to destroy a fragment of space debris.

The objective of the proposed utility model is to increase the efficiency of destruction and reduce the time interval necessary for the destruction of an object consisting of a meteorite-comet substance with a wide range of their characteristics.

This object is achieved by the fact that in the known device for the destruction of fragments of objects of space debris containing a space platform on which there is a guidance device for the target and space interceptors made in the form of cumulative funnels formed from moving "petals", the explosive substance is placed outside, and the “petals” are also installed with the possibility of changing the angle of the solution of the cumulative funnel, in accordance with the sizes of fragments of space debris.

The drawing shows the proposed device, which contains a movable conical metal "petals" - 1, explosive - 2.

The device operates as follows. A fragment of an object of space debris approaching the Earth, consisting of a meteorite-comet substance, is investigated using a remote sensing device and spectrographic studies, the trajectory of the object, the geometric parameters and chemical composition of this substance, which make up a fragment of an object of space debris, are calculated. After that, a space platform with space interceptors located on it is launched to the object to destroy space debris. Aiming at the target is carried out from the space platform, after which the space interceptor starts from the platform. Using data taken from a remote sensing device and spectrographic study, the angle of the solution of the cumulative funnel is changed due to the movement of the moving "petals." After setting certain parameters, detonation of the explosive placed on the "petals" occurs. With the explosion of an explosive, a cutting cumulative effect is formed. The conical “petal” design is an elongated cumulative charge, which “collapses” during the explosion, thereby forming cumulative jets, causing a comprehensive cutting effect on the fragment of space debris under study.

Thus, the use of this device will help reduce the time interval required to destroy an object of space debris, increase efficiency in the destruction of spatially distributed fragments of space debris.
