FIELD: transport.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to space engineering, particularly, to colonisation of space objects (SO). Spacecraft (SC) comprises landing module (long-operating base module LOBM)) (LM) and take-off module (TOM) LM comprises landing devices, sealed compartment with life support system, research hardware, devices for independent or towed motion over SO surface, sealed compartment with docking and TOM to-launch-changeover system, fuel tanks for TOM fuelling and means for docking with LOBM. TOM comprises rotary jets. TOM and LM are connected by fuel overflow conduits. Soft landing is carried out either manually or automatically in horizontal position with the help of onboard BM jet running on TOM fuel and TOM engines. TOM is replenished with fuel of TOM to be changed over into launch position and to fly away. LM is incorporated with LOBM.
EFFECT: expanded operating performances of LM.
