CONTROL OVER SPACECRAFT AT ITS ASCENT TO EARTH ARTIFICIAL SATELLITE ORBIT Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC B64G1/10 B64G1/62 

FIELD: aircraft engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to aerospace engineering and can be used for and can be used for control over spaceship flight-in path control in the orbit of the Earth artificial satellite with atmosphere. Claimed process comprises the aerodynamic deceleration of spaceship and reactive correction of its orbit at the out-of-atmosphere section. Depressed aerocapture is performed at the target aerocapture angle computed such that the spaceship required speed is reached at its ricochet from atmosphere (at termination of aerodynamic deceleration) at a definite altitude. Multiple passage through the upper atmosphere decreased the spaceship orbit apocentre to permissible level. At said apocentre the impulse of characteristic velocity of its ascent to the orbit of artificial satellite.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of control over aerodynamic and reactive means without application of high-precision system and control algorithms.
