FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: invention proposes a lunar complex incorporating a reusable two-stage carrier aircraft and a lunar complex for it to place the latter into the Earth orbit. It is made up of a boost unit, a lunar module, and a lunar shuttle arranged and locked one above the other on the orbital aircraft-stage freight deck. The said boost unit launches the lunar module and shuttle to the trajectory of overfly to the Moon, inputs necessary corrections to the trajectory decelerates on approaching the Moon. The lunar module and shuttle are furnished with treads allowing a horizontal landing, moving over the lunar surface, horizontal shuttle launch from the Moon. Landing and launching are ensured by the module and shuttle rocket engines. The proposed transport system incorporates, at least, two lunar complexes to carry out, at least, two interchanging lunar expeditions.
EFFECT: closed Earth-Moon-Earth transport system, economical and regular freight traffic between Moon and Earth.
