Abstract RU 2344973 C1

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: facility includes an Earth-space elevator and Earth-Lunar module. The Earth-space elevator is made of 103 extending cylindrical sections. The sections have vertical lift stabilising screws with 101 bands of a diameter from 450 to 480 meters mounted vertically below ground at a depth of 1300 meters in a reinforced-concrete housing. The housing also includes reservoirs filled with liquefied natural gas with high pressure chambers, which apply gas and steam pressure up to 300 atmospheres to the bottom of the lifting cylinders. The Earth-Lunar module with four movable supports is cylinder-shaped with a diameter of 50 meters and 25-m cone apex and weight of 10000 tonnes. The module is separated by inner bulkheads into compartments with enough space to accommodate a parachute, maneuvering engines, living areas, water and oxygen storages, storage areas, special equipment, fuel tanks, hydrogen electric power plant, sustainers and lunar robot vehicles. The module is also equipped with a freight elevator with a raising shock-absorbing leg.

EFFECT: facilitation of space explorations using the Earth-Lunar Facilities.
