METHOD OF INJECTION OF PAYLOAD INTO ORBIT

摘要

FIELD: aeronautical engineering. SUBSTANCE: method consists in fuelling the launch vehicle, flight over injection path and separation of payload. Innovation of invention consists in fuelling the launch vehicle with guaranteed amount of fuel for at least one stage which is fully or partially carried in next stage or in payload and is fed to previous stage during flight when required. This invention may be used for any launch vehicle to reduce guaranteed fuel capacity of launch vehicle or to increase fuel capacity of space vehicle injected by launch vehicle. It is good practice to apply this method when it is necessary to increase fuel capacity of space vehicle but mass of vehicle exceeds limiting magnitude the launch vehicle can inject. EFFECT: enhanced reliability.
