METHOD OF WITHDRAWING ACCELERATING ROCKET MODULE FROM SPACESHIP FLIGHT PATH Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC B64G1/26 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aerospace engineering, particularly, to rocket acceleration module and its components intended for its stabilisation and withdrawal from separated spaceship. Proposed method comprises issuing command for accelerating module engine shutdown and issuing command with time delay Δt₁ for separating accelerating module from spaceship and imparting them a relative velocity. It comprises also issuing the command for actuation of accelerating module withdrawal system to separate said module from spaceship with time delay Δt₂. Prior to issuing command for accelerating module engine shutdown at preset flight parameters of spaceship, the latter and accelerating module are oriented relative to preset transverse axis at position of separation and stabilised at said position. Withdrawal of accelerating module is combined with spinning it relative to common longitudinal axis.

EFFECT: decreased weight of separation hardware.
