METHOD FOR DESTRUCTION OF SPACE OBJECTS Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: aerospace technology, applicable for destruction of space objects, for example, of space vehicles, whose service life has expired.

SUBSTANCE: the launch vehicle with an impact space object fastened on its final stage is injected to the near-earth orbit of the space object to be destructed with the aid of an aircraft with a subsequent separation from it, a maneuver of the final stage of the launch vehicle is performed for correction of its launch vehicle is performed for correction of its spatial attitude relative to the spatial attitude of the space object to be destructed by a signal from the preliminarily launched guidance space vehicle accomplishing the guidance and tracking of the final stage of the launch vehicle and the space object to be destructed, and the impact space object separated from the final stage of the launch vehicle performs guidance and approach to the space object to be destructed and subsequent destruction of it.

EFFECT: expanded field of application along with reduced material costs for destruction of space objects, for example, of space vehicles, whose service life has expired.
