ROCKET LAUNCH SYSTEM AND SUPPORTING APPARATUS |
摘要 |
<p>A rocket launch system includes a tubular rocket launcher carriage with electromotive cableway traction drives conveyed beneath a two axis pivot anchored to the earth, elevated into a co-axial transfer tube leading to three primary tether cables whose weight is offset by balloons. The carriage is conveyed to a docking station supported into the stratosphere by a pair of secondary cables suspended under an attachment frame for tensioning balloons. The carriage is engaged by a carriage end gripper guided by two secondary and two tertiary cables and lifted by a lower hoist guided by the secondary cables. This lower hoist is supported by an upper hoist suspended from the tensioning balloons attachment frame. The carriage, which engages a lift ring guided by two secondary cables, is elevated further, rotated, and rocket ejection occurs from a launch tube during freefall of the carriage, with engine ignition occurring at a safe distance.</p> |
