SPACE PROPULSION MODULE WITH ELECTRIC AND SOLID-FUEL CHEMICAL PROPULSION Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B64G1/00 

FIELD: astronautics.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to space propulsion modules intended, in particular, for space vehicles, such as satellites, probes, or for upper rocket stages. Space propulsion module comprises solid fuel chemical propulsion (10) having main body (11) and at least one electric propulsion (30), wherein said at least one electric propulsion (30) is mounted on said main body (11) of the solid fuel chemical propulsion (10) by means of a fastening structure comprising upper flange (21) at the upper end of main body (11) of solid fuel chemical propulsion (10) and lower flange (22) at the lower end of main body (11) of solid fuel chemical propulsion (10). Electric propulsion (130) can be mounted on the main body (111) of solid fuel chemical propulsion (110) through frame structure (120) in the form of a truncated cone or cylinder fixed around solid fuel chemical propulsion (110).

EFFECT: technical result of the group of inventions is an increase in the mass of the payload being launched into the near-Earth orbit.
