METHOD OF GAS-DYNAMIC ACTION ON DANGEROUS SPACE BODY AND DEVICE FOR ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B64G99/00 B64G1/56 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to cosmonautics and can be used for protection of the Earth against dangerous space objects (SO). Space vehicle (SV) with an explosive charge for gas-dynamic action on a dangerous SO includes primary explosive charge, a compartment with released blocks with additional explosive charge, a control system, a self-guidance system, movement and orientation units, a detonation system of the primary explosive charge, a time synchronisation unit, receiving-and-transmitting equipment of communication with blocks with additional explosive charge and a release and build-up programme of blocks with additional explosive charges to formation around SV. Blocks with additional explosive charge include a control system with a programme with relative coordinates of the block with additional explosive charge to formations and detonation time of additional explosive charge relative to detonation moment of the primary explosive charge. SV is brought to SO with released blocks with explosive charges, which are positioned in outer space, from SV with the primary explosive charge, prior to approach to dangerous SO, there released are blocks with additional explosive charge, blocks are positioned in outer space in the form of the specified spatial formation, coordinated detonation of the primary explosive charge of SV and additional explosive charges of blocks is performed, a high-temperature cumulative jet directed to the dangerous SO is formed in a cloud of explosion of the primary explosive charge.

EFFECT: invention allows increasing protection of the Earth against dangerous SO.
