METHOD OF HEATING THE LUNAR ROCKET LAUNCHER COMPLEX Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B64G1/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aerospace engineering and can be used at lunar rocket launching complexes (LLC). Nearby LCC, on lunar surface, arranged are thermal jacket with heat accumulators, pump station, solar batteries and storage battery, thermal jacket outer surface being coated with light-reflecting film while outer surface with heat-insulation panels. Heat accumulators are filled with liquid heat carrier to half of their volume to heat its by the heat of celestial bodies at opening the covers of said thermal jacket with the help of open/close system light sensors during natural lunar day. Temperature of LCC structure elements and rocket liquid propellant components is measured during natural lunar night LCC structure elements and rocket liquid propellant components are heated by pumping liquid heat carrier heated from celestial bodies via said components and elements from charged thermal accumulators into empty thermal accumulators during the entire natural lunar night with the help of pump station pumps supplied from solar batteries or storage battery.

EFFECT: higher reliability of heating system during long-term operation of LCC.
