FIELD: space engineering. SUBSTANCE: use is made of vertical takeoff space vehicle equipped with liquid-propellant engine and servicing takeoff vehicle which carries propellant for space vehicle and transfers this propellant during their joint parallel flight. Both vehicles are connected on launching pad (before takeoff) by means of flexible propellant-transfer device. Then joint flight is performed. Transfer of propellant is started immediately after takeoff. EFFECT: enhanced reliability. 13 cl, 6 dwg |
