FIELD: cosmonautics.
SUBSTANCE: interorbital space transport module relates to space engineering and can be used to provide multiple delivery of spacecrafts to target orbits and to perform interorbital transitions. Interorbital space transport module consists of interorbital transport tug, cargo container, docking mechanism and control systems, as well as additional replaceable fuel tank with possibility of docking with tug and container. Tug and replaceable tank docking mechanism is made in the form of load-bearing girder and is equipped with units for connection of replaceable tank main lines with tug fuel lines.
EFFECT: possibility of operation of space tug after depletion of fuel reserves and its withdrawal from orbit after completion of task.
