Description

The utility model relates to the creation of a reusable aerospace system.

The known projects “TsSKB-Progress” (Samara) / 1 /, focused on the creation of an aerospace system with a stratospheric launch, designed for low-orbit return operations:

- launch of a spacecraft (SC) and other payload in low orbits;

- organization of tourism and training operations;

- transport support of orbital operations.

The aerospace system involves the option of launching the spacecraft from the airship (figure 1) or from the surface of the earth (figure 2).

Closest to the described utility model is an aerospace system with a stratospheric launch / 1 /, with the help of which large-sized objects are delivered to low orbits, with their assembly and development on the ground, as well as their subsequent return. As a prototype, a system with a stratospheric launch / 1 / was selected, containing two stratospheric launch airships connected to each other.

The disadvantage of the described system is the need for ground mounting of the spacecraft to the bases of the airships and their further rise to a predetermined height, from which the spacecraft continues to launch into a low orbit.

The purpose of the invention is the creation of a system for the takeoff and landing of hypersonic aircraft at an altitude of 23 km, as well as the delivery of goods.

This goal is achieved by the fact that in a system containing two stratospheric launch airships connected to each other, two groups of nine balloons are added, interconnected with stratospheric launch airships, a fixed platform fixed to the upper part of the balloons, two guides rigidly fixed on a fixed platform, a movable platform that moves freely along two guides, eight engines mounted on a movable platform, a load compartment, two freight elevators.

Comparison with the prototype shows that the inventive system is characterized by the presence of new elements. Thus, the claimed solution meets the criterion of "novelty."

Comparison of the proposed solution with other technical solutions shows that the listed elements are known, however, their introduction in this connection with the other elements leads to the solution of the new task of creating an aerostat cosmodrome that receives goods, takes off and lands hypersonic aircraft. This confirms the conformity of the technical solution to the criterion of "significant differences".

Figure 1 shows a diagram of the "prototype", figure 2 - the launch of the spaceplane from the earth's surface. Figure 3 illustrates the proposed system.

The system includes: 1 - balloons; 2 - fixed platform; 3 - guides; 4 - movable platform; 5 - engines; 6 - load compartment; 7 - freight elevators.

The system operates as follows.

The whole set of equipment was lifted on balloons 1 to a height of 23 km from the Earth's surface and oriented at 45 ° to the approach direction of the hypersonic aircraft. The width of the complex is 200 m, the length is 1 km. To ensure a quick landing, a movable platform 4 is used, which due to the engines 5 moves freely along the guides 3.

In Fig.4 illustrates the moment of approach of a hypersonic aircraft to the landing platform, and in Fig.5 - its landing on the aerostat spaceport.

Freight elevators 7 are designed to lift cargo, in particular, rocket engines, which are subsequently attached to a hypersonic aircraft (Fig.6). Fig. 7 shows a hypersonic aircraft ready for launch with mounted rocket engines, and Fig. 8 shows a launch from an aerostat spaceport.

Thus, the proposed aerostat spaceport allows both take-off and landing of hypersonic aircraft, and the delivery of goods and fuel to an altitude of 23 km.
