DEVICE FOR ACCELERATED MOVEMENT OF SPACECRAFTS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B64G1/26 

FIELD: transport; astronautics.

SUBSTANCE: spacecraft (SC) using jet engines may be used in interstellar missions, in particular during entering of SC in black hole gravity field. As per invention device includes several SCs enclosed in each other as nested dolls. Each of enclosed SCs is directed to side opposite to direction of outer SC and it is secured in hanging condition, e.g. on springs. Inner SC is capable of movement in axial direction with regard to outer SC during their respective acceleration. All SCs move in direction of black hole gravity field. At moment SC is approaching velocity of light and SC proper to some critical distance from black hole jet engines of inner SC are switched on retarding its fall into hole. As it is expected, at moment outer SC reaches some critical distance, inner SC (one or more) may for some time remain outside of hole retaining its structure. This would allow inner SC to obtain and transmit information on physical processes taking place in outer SC space.

EFFECT: drastic relative acceleration of two and more SCs in opposite directions under extreme conditions of movement in gravity field of black hole and obtaining of said information.
