SPACECRAFT Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: interplanetary flights; life-support systems of manned spacecraft. SUBSTANCE: spacecraft includes immovable module with central axis and movable module coaxial relative to first one. Laid spirally on conical surface of movable module are growth tubes with plant conveyers. Spacecraft is also provided with electric generator and storage battery modules. Artificial gravitation is formed in crew compartment and in tubes found on movable module during rotation around central axis. Tubes are divided into two segments: plant conveyers are located in upper segment and through filled with water are articulated in lower segment; through filled with water have fish and waterfowl. As fish and waterfowl grow, flow from upper through to lower ones is ensured during feeding from feeders movable along tubes. Spacecraft is also provided with silt removers and silt lines supplying silt from through bottom to regenerator. Located at vertex of cone is room for planting-out seedlings, young fish and waterfowl in growth tubes and room for gathering-in harvest and catching fish and waterfowl. Immovable and movable module are provided with circular passing chambers to ensure circulation of substances in spacecraft (operation of electric generator in particular) with lift cabins mounted among them for motion in circle and along central axis. EFFECT: ensuring spacecraft with ecologically pure source of energy and creating terrestrial-like biocenosis of board spacecraft and psychological environment favorable for human being. 3 cl, 9 dwg
