METHOD OF INJECTION OF OBJECTS INTO NEAR-EARTH ORBIT AND RECOVERABLE AERO-SPACE ROCKET AIRCRAFT-CARRIER FOR REALIZATION OF THIS METHOD (AERO-SPACE SYSTEM NUR-SAID SYSTEM) Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: aero-space engineering; construction of recoverable multi-mission aero-space aircraft-carriers and methods of injection of space objects into near-earth orbit by means of aircraft-carriers.

SUBSTANCE: proposed aircraft-carrier is constructed from separate components forming single complex which includes separable platform-landing gear used for horizontal takeoff from runway, jettisonable cell-type wing (in one version) for enhancing total aerodynamic property and separable aircraft-stages which are placed one on another locking subsequent stage on pylons of cargo deck of previous stage. After separation, aircraft carriers return to runway. Last (third in particular) aircraft-carrier is orbital carrier. In case aircraft is not provided with cell-type wing, wing of first aircraft carrier is made with adequate span and length of chord for performing initial stage of flight in aircraft mode. Then, recoverable aircraft-carrier smoothly changes aircraft trajectory by ascending line to ballistic section of injection trajectory. As a result, cell-type wing is jettisoned.

EFFECT: reduced usage of materials; low cost of injection of payload.
