SYSTEM OF EMERGENCY EVACUATION OF COSMONAUTS IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION DURING THEIR BOARDING ONTO A SPACESHIP Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B64G1/52 B64G5/00 

FIELD: cosmonautics; rescue operations.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means of rescuing astronauts in an emergency situation at the launch phase. System contains a frame (1) with a platform (2) (at the level of boarding onto a spaceship) located in an isolated room (3), an elevator with a car (4), where a protected rescue vehicle (5) is installed with an autonomous travel drive. Car (4) is mounted on the rails (6) and suspended on the runaway ropes (15) (passed through the bypass blocks (13) and (14)) of the second of the two pulley blocks. Movable blocks (7) of the first pulley block are fixed on the rod of the hydraulic cylinder (8) of the vertical movement hydraulic drive of the car (4). Movable blocks (11) of the second pulley block are fixed in the frame (10). In an emergency situation, astronauts and personnel occupy places in the rescue means (5). In this case, the rod cavity of the hydraulic cylinder (8) is connected to the tank through the throttling device, and the car (4) rushes down under the influence of weight. Speed of lowering and braking of the car is controlled by the hydraulic drive. At the surface of the launch facility, the rescue means (5) is released and sent to a protected bunker removed from the danger zone.

EFFECT: technical result consists in simplifying the system and increasing its reliability.
