SCHEMATA OF AVIATION-ROCKETRY SYSTEMS FOR SMALL SPACECRAFT LAUNCHES. OPPORTUNITIES FOR REALIZATION. ANALOGUES AND PROTOTYPES

摘要

Development of small spacecraft requires to develop complying launch technologies. The most perspective direction is working out aviation-rocketry systems (ARS). Such systems are actual for Russia because of problems of launch tracks and launch vehicle stages downfall zones of sun-synchronous missions. The great fleet of planes and launch vehicles and extensive experience of their development is a good basis for ARS development. Prototypes for the ARS plane-carriers may be serial An-12, MiG-31, 11-76, An-178 and perspective supersonic business jet. Prototypes and analogues for the ARS are seen such well-known projects as -15, Pegasus, -34, Ishim, and little known but original projects too. Good results in the creation of the ARS and especially its operating may be obtained from a broad international cooperation; and ENERGIA Corporation has accumulated a long positive experience of it (Intercosmos, Mir-NASA, SeaLaunch, ISS, BelKA and other programs).
