DEVICE TO DELIVER EFFECTIVE CARGO INTO CELESTIAL BODY SOIL MASSIFS (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B64G1/10 

FIELD: space engineering.

SUBSTANCE: proposed invention relates to space engineering and can be used in development of space vehicles intended for comprehensive investigation of soil of celestial bodies and delivery of effective loads to the massifs of Mars, Moon, asteroids and other planets and celestial bodies of solar system. The device to deliver effective cargo into celestial body massifs (versions) comprises a hollow primary structure having a front and cylindrical tail part accommodating a ballast with a mean density exceeding that of the primary structure and effective cargo. The length of cylindrical tail parts makes 8 to 15 its diameters, the center of masses being located at the distance equal to 0.4 to 0.5 of the primary structure length starting from the front part head. In compliance with the first version the front part, starting from the head, represents the first truncated cone or, simply, cone of the cylinder behind the head, the said truncated cone lager base abutting on the cylinder tail part of the other truncated cone. In compliance with the second version the front part hast the holes communicating with the primary structure space wherein ballast and effective cargo are located, while the ballast or a part of it are made from materials can penetrate, due to inertial forces, through the said holes into ambient medium.

EFFECT: deeper penetration, smaller area in contact with medium, rectilinearity and predictability of trajectory of motion in medium, reduced factor of friction with medium in contact.
