Popular at the beginning of the Space Age, ambitious projects aimed at Moon, Mars, and other space objects exploration, have returned with new technology and design level. High power space tug with electric propulsion system (EPS) is mainly considered as a transport vehicle for such missions. Modern high power space tugs projects as well as their spacecraft (SC) power and propulsion systems are reviewed in the paper. The main technologies and design solutions needed for high-power EPS realization are considered.
Приведены данные об актуальных в настоящее время проектах, ведущихся в мире в области мощных ядерных энергодвигательных установок (ЭДУ), представлена общая информация об основных подсистемах ЭДУ, составе стендовой базы для отработки ключевых элементов ЭДУ и требованиях к ней. Рассмотрен потенциальный состав и облик стенда для испытаний мощных газотурбинных преобразователей, работающих по замкнутому циклу Брайтона.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
