FIELD: space engineering; protection of spacecraft against liquid contaminants. SUBSTANCE: according to invention, each protective device is provided with mechanism for turn and/or axial motion. Mechanism shifts this device to position where it does not close section of rocket engine nozzle. EFFECT: enhanced efficiency of protection against liquid contaminants; avoidance of overheating of thrusters in case of abnormal operation; possibility of changing angle of entrapping contaminants relative to engine axis. 3 cl, 2 dwg
