Реферат
The invention relates to the energy provision of space transport systems and to the organization of a load flow between spacecraft in planetary orbits. The method comprises a spacecraft tank trapping and accelerating atmospheric air and loads located in the trajectory of movement thereof. The loads are transported beforehand to said trajectory by corresponding spacecraft, including suborbital spacecraft, and are then transferred to other spacecraft. Velocity losses of the spacecraft tank due to the trapping and accelerating of atmospheric air, loads and to aerodynamic drag are compensated for by a propulsion unit. The propulsion unit may use reactive engines-with consumption of part of the incoming load-or electrodynamic cable systems. Operation of the propulsion unit of the spacecraft tank is ensured by a supply of load energy carriers using atmospheric gases. Furthermore, an interorbital circulation system of said load energy carriers, with recovery of the energy thereof in other spacecraft for repeated use in a spacecraft tank, is established. The invention is directed towards reducing specific waste in the transporting of loads into space with an accompanying improvement in the overall mass characteristics of the spacecraft tank energy unit and an increase in the ecological safety of the load flow.

1. A method of spacecraft accumulators energy supply comprising a capture and an acceleration of an atmospheric air and loads which are on the path of spacecraft accumulator motion and were preliminarily thrown out by suborbital and space vehicles, transfer of the accumulated substances to another space vehicles, transfer of the accumulated substances to another spacecrafts, compensation of the spacecraft accumulator velocity losses caused by capture and acceleration of atmospheric air, loads and aerodynamic resistance, use of power propulsions supplied by the satellite power plat energy both of rocket type with a partial load or air consumption and electrodynamic type on basis of tether engine-generator forming a vertical satellite system and characterized in that the work of the spacecraft accumulator propulsion system is enabled by delivery of loads-energy resources with application of atmospheric gases, at that it is organized a system of interorbital circulation of loads-energy resources on energy restoration of the loads on another spacecrafts for reuse in a spacecraft accumulator.
