OPERATING METHOD FOR LAUNCH ROCKETS AND A SET OF ROCKET BOOSTERS FOR CARRYING OUT SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention relates to rocket and space engineering and can be used for developing reusable rocket systems for placing different space objects into orbit. The inventive set of rocket boosters (2, 3, 4, 6, 7) for operating launch rockets (1, 5) comprises single-use (2, 6) and reusable (3, 4, 7) rocket boosters. A part of equipment of the single-use booster (2) and a part of equipment of the reusable boosters (3, 4, 7) are arranged in said boosters in such a way that they are replaceable. A part of interchangeable equipment is embodied such that it is interconnected with the aid of a part of communications and constructively integrated in the form of a module (29, 30) by means of a body section (8, 9, 10, 11) of the boosters (2, 3, 4, 7). The inventive operating method for launch rockets (1, 5) consists in singly using the single-use booster (2) for the launch rocket (1) and in repeatedly using the reusable rocket boosters (3, 4, 7) for the launch rockets (1, 5). Prior to reusing the reusable rocket booster (3, 4, 7), the operational part thereof (15, 29, 30) is periodically replaced by a new part, the replaced part being mounted on the single-use rocket booster (2).
