CARRIER ROCKET SEA SURFACING AND APPROPRIATE SYSTEMS AND METHODS Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B64G1/00 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aerospace engineering and may be used in aerospace clustered rocket bodies. This system comprises space rocket with bilateral control surface to turn and to receive data on rocket section position on water surface and to control flight path. It comprises also launching site, rocket or rocket part launcher for launching for the first and second times. Means for vertical landing on water surface structure. Means for launching and means for varying the rocket orientation with tail forward before landing and reentry to the Earth atmosphere. Besides, it comprises means to rocket engine cutoff and means for primary start and restart of one or more rocker engines. Space rocket is launched with payload from the Earth, Said one or more engines are shutdown at accelerator stage. Upper stage is separated from accelerator stage at preset altitude. Accelerator stage orientation is changed to place movable landing platform on water surface. Data on landing platform is received to control accelerator stage path for displacement to landing platform. One or more rocket engines are restarted at accelerator stage before landing. Pocket part is vertically landed on said platform to carry said part on landing platform or to transit vessel.

EFFECT: vertical landing of rocket shuttle part on water surface landing platform.
