Conceptual Design of Penetrating Elements as Constituents of the Aviation and Rocket Complex of Antimeteorite Protection

摘要

The purpose of the present work is the discussion of an aviation/rocket conception of the anti-asteroid defense of the Earth. It is proposed to use an ASP with a magneto-plasmachemical thruster as the first stage of the acceleration complex. The questions of the optimal design of hypersonic inlets for such spacecraft are discussed. A numerical algorithm is presented for determining the conditions of an optimal launching of a rocket from the aerospace plane. Some efficient designs of penetrating elements are discussed.
