METHOD OF CONTROLLING MOVEMENT OF A SPACE OBJECT DURING FLIGHT FROM AN EARTH ORBIT TO A MOON ORBIT

摘要

FIELD: astronautics.;SUBSTANCE: invention relates to interplanetary flights, for example, when space objects (SO) are delivered to a station located on high near-moon orbit. Method includes flight from the Earth to the Moon along trajectory with flight of the Moon at specified height, where first braking pulse is performed to transfer SO to initial near-moon orbit. Aposelenium of this orbit is located in the vicinity of Moon's gravisphere (60–75 thousand km). Due to gravitational perturbations, mainly from the Earth, through the revolution the pericynthion height of this orbit changes to the height of target orbit pericynthion. In this pericynthion the second brake pulse is performed to form the target elliptic (or circular) orbit around the Moon.;EFFECT: reduction of total characteristic speed for launching of space object from transitory trajectory to target, mainly high near-moon orbit.;1 cl, 6 dwg
