Flying machine for solar system

1 – Placement of an accommodation unit into the Earth orbit with the rocket "Energy"

2 - The prototype of the Martian accommodation unit can be joined to the International Space Station, where the final tests will be conducted.

According to the plan of the piloted expedition to Mars, offered by Russia, the elements of a spacecraft for the installation of an uniform complex should be delivered to the Earth orbit before. (Taking into account all the estimations, the weight of a multi-use spacecraft will make 600 t, and to lift such a huge thing from the Earth will fail). Then this complex should get the interplanetary trajectory by means of engine units and fly to Mars within several months.

This epigraph with pictures, I took from the Internet, in one of articles about Mars. Article is called, «Both dream, and a reality - flight to Mars». The page content reflects the real, checked up technology of present time in research of Mars, on it I in the reasonings will make a start from these data, and I offer you, not absolutely scientific or completely not scientific, point of view.

For launching of the Martian module it is planned to use a rocket "Energy", let's look in brief its technical parametres from the directory.

"ENERGY" - the name of the universal rocket intended for deducing into a basic orbit, both reusable orbital spaceships, and large-sized space vehicles of scientific and economic appointment, including. Modules for long-term stations. The rocket is executed with parallel configuration of rocket stage and lateral placing of a payload. It allows to establish on a rocket, both automatic space vehicles, and piloted spaceships with the developed aerodynamic surfaces. Length of a rocket of 60 m, maximal the cross-section size about 20 m, starting weight of 2000 tons. At the first step - a sheaf from four unified blocks on 4 jet engines working on oxygen-hydrocarbonic fuel, with power on the earth on 7,26MN. At the second step of monoblock are established 4 oxygen-hydrogen jet engines with power in emptiness on 1,96MN. Provides deducing into a near-earth orbit of a payload in weight more than 100 tons.

If extremely to simplify, it turns out, 6 starts of rockets are necessary to put into orbit 600 tons of cargo, by means of a rocket "Energy". On which the module will be fixed, the majority from which will have on two connecting blocks having decent weight and single utility.

Whether there is at us a possibility to launch-to-orbit, simultaneously 400 tons of cargo, using modern technologies using the same multigradualness and already known rocket?

The rocket is executed with parallel configuration of rocket stage and lateral placing of payload. It allows to establish on the rocket, both automatic space vehicles, and piloted spaceships with the developed aerodynamic surfaces.

See, there it is not written, what is it the tank in volume of 50000 litres with nose dome and docking adapter. There it is written «piloted spaceships with the developed aerodynamic surfaces»

Let's look at the sketch which does not require the comment. We remind, that the sizes in machine-building drawings in millimetres

The first and second stage, it is "Energy", we will recollect, that 4 heavy-lift launch vehicle are capable to put into orbit 400 tons cargo, the third stage is drawn by dark blue colour.

The space vehicle represented on the sketch by red colour, let's name him conditionally "centrifuge" it is machine for habitation having the form supersonic traction motor air intake, or the direct-flow jet engine. If correctly to place engines of the third stage that it is possible to use for ejector condensed air thereby creating evacuation in front of the started device.

And so a centrifuge. It should rotate concerning the axis and docking module, creating in a nutria of premises, an artificial attraction to a floor.

The principle of start is clear, and I will not trouble itself with exact calculations of weight of a space vehicle. Many parameters of a structure, which are to be taken into consideration, I just don’t know, and there is no need for it. It is enough to change simply the quantity of launchers or weight of a space vehicle, launched. I mention only, that the weight of the tank with the external diameter of 40m and the rectangular cross-section of 32x4m, marked in green on the sketch, the form of a steel right-angled pipe, bent in the form of a ring with the inner diameter of 32m and wall thickness of 6 mm will be 381,8 t.

Thus we have the total area of the floor in accommodation and operational premises of over 1000 м², the ceiling height in the premises is 2,6 meters - such a space “khrushchyevka”, and centrifugal "gravitation" and the last is the most important because all biological processes of terrestrial organisms are active under the gravitation. There is no use to prove the obvious things, that the life in the usual conditions, when there is a floor under legs, and there is a ceiling above a head, will influence solitarily on the efficiency of a flight crew activity and solving assigned tasks.

It is supposed, that this spacecraft should be very reusable, it should remain in space for ever, launched once into an orbit, and “sponge” everything from not one and not two dozens of expeditions. It was designed not only for studying the nearest to our planet Venus and Mars, but also for study of the whole solar system and in general asteroid belt. It is evident, that future operational base of the Earthmen will be situated just there, that’s why the search of minor planets with mineral resources will already now result in anything useful, as it goes like this, who sets stakes first, that one will have the future. It is clear, that the spacecrafts, which will leave the solar system, will be constructed there.

In general that is. My dear colleagues, I’m waiting for your comments and suggestions.
