Description

The invention relates to the field of aerospace engineering, in particular to reusable transport ships.

A known method of putting an aerospace aircraft (VKS) into orbit, including refueling the VKS fuel tanks and its docking with the carrier aircraft, joint launch, gaining a given height and flying to a given region of the carrier aircraft and the VKS docked with it, separating the VKS from the carrier and its acceleration to space velocity (1).

A disadvantage of the known technical solution is the complexity and high cost of launching.

The invention makes it possible to reduce the cost of putting payload into orbit and to create an aerospace system with an aerospace system based on existing technical means.

To this end, a method is proposed for launching an aerospace helicopter into orbit, including refueling the aeronautical fuel tanks and docking it with a carrier aircraft, joint launch, gaining a predetermined height and flying to a predetermined area of the carrier aircraft and the aerospace engine docked with it, separating the aerospace carrier from the carrier and accelerating it to space speed fuel

the capacities of the aerospace aircraft are partially filled, and before separation of the aerospace aircraft, it is refueled from an additional tanker aircraft, the tanks of which are filled with the missing part of the fuel, while the tanker aircraft takes off and takes off to the aircraft carrier with an aerospace plane. In addition, the refueling of an aerospace aircraft is carried out using refueling lines located on board the carrier aircraft.

The drawing schematically shows the initial phase of launching an aerospace satellite into orbit.

This operation begins with the separate launch of two aircraft: a carrier aircraft 1 with a fixed VKS 2 (takes off from the airfield 3) and a tanker 4 (takes off from the strips.; 5). At the same time, the fuel tanks of the VKS are not completely filled, but only partially, and the missing mass of fuel necessary for the operation of the VKS engines is contained in the tanker 4 When the aircraft reaches a height of several kilometers, the aircraft approach and refuel the VKS from the Tanyu.
