FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aerospace engineering and may be used, in particular, for research of near and far space, destruction or recovery of off-control satellites, etc. Proposed aircraft comprises body shaped as biconvex lens closed by semi-spheres of titanium fairings on top and bottom. Body is stiffened by bearing steel frame to support power plant. The later comprises three groups of engines: four lift-thrust turbojet double-flow engines (with exhaust nozzles of horizontal and vertical thrust 18a and 18b, respectively), two rocket sustainers (with deflecting nozzles 19a) and four vertical thrust rocket engines (with exhaust nozzle 24). Body incorporates tanks 20 with hydrogen four rocket engines. Spaceship is equipped with LH and RH top and bottom aerodynamic pitch control surfaces 33 and 33a, respectively, as well as LH and RH gas vanes 21. It comprises also four undercarriage legs while with undercarriage retracted into domes, landing may be performed on landing skis. Parachute container 5 with cover 5a is provided for landing. For docking with interplanetary probe, tight airlock hatch 8 is used. There are headlights 28a to illuminate rear semi-sphere and onboard navigation lights 22.
EFFECT: multifunctional aerospace aircraft for research of near and far space, destruction or recovery of off-control satellites.
