Multi-matrix multivector propulsion system for small-sized rod-type aerospace objects with kinetic launch

Abstract

This utility model relates to maneuvering multi-matrix multi-vector propulsion systems (MMMVS) for small, rod-shaped aerospace objects launched using kinetic energy, for high-speed maneuvering in space or the atmosphere of planets within the Solar System, with the ability to add additional kinetic energy to the rod-shaped object during the maneuvering process. The MMMVS comprises an adapter hollow rod with a square cross-section, on which two hollow square-section MTD substrates are positioned symmetrically relative to its center of mass. Four rectangular propulsion matrices are located on the outer surface of each substrate. The propulsion cells of these matrices are formed by cylindrical propulsion elements inclined at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis in the direction of the MMMVS flight, filled with solid fuel in a ratio of two.Control of the thrust magnitude and direction, and selection of the motor matrices, is accomplished using a column decoder, two row decoders, two decoders of the motor cell thrust magnitude code, memory units for processed and corrective code combinations, two memory units for correcting the thrust vector magnitude based on the motor element tilt angle, a control signal microreceiver, and a controller. This achieves kinetic energy increment during trajectory correction for a small, rod-shaped aerospace object with kinetic liftoff.
