DEPLOYMENT OF SPACE ROPE SYSTEM AT DELIVERY OF LANDER FROM ORBITAL STATION TO GROUND Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC B64G1/24 B64G1/62 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to control over displacement of space objects tied by the rope. Proposed process comprises disconnection of said objects to impart to the lander of initial velocity of blowup against orbital velocity vector. Then, the rope is released at invariable tension force at lander ejection to change the bundle into tail pendulum motion mode in shockless manner to fix the rope length. Said rope is cut when lander passes the local vertical of orbital station. Acceleration of said rope tension force at separation of lander from orbital station is $$\overline{J}=\mathrm{0,0534}\cdot \Delta \overline{V},$$ where $$\Delta \overline{V}$$ is the magnitude of transversal impulse of repulsion velocity. These data are related to appropriate parameters of starting circular orbit.

EFFECT: ruled out sections of lander return motion with the rope, simplified control over descent.
