Novel Mars spacecraft combined propulsion system

Abstract

The invention relates to a novel Mars spacecraft combined propulsion system, and relates to the technical field of Mars exploration and Mars spacecraft power. The invention aims to solve the problem that the existing propulsion system needs to carry a large amount of fuel from the earth and cannot meet the full-phase flight mission of a Mars spacecraft. The output ends of an oxidant storage tank and a fuel storage tank are correspondingly connected with the input ends of an oxidant pump and a fuel pump respectively; flow regulating valves are arranged on a pipeline for connecting the oxidant storage tank with the oxidant pump and a pipeline for connecting the fuel storage tank with the fuel pump; the fuels in the oxidant storage tank and the fuel storage tank are delivered to a combustionchamber for combustion through the oxidant pump and the fuel pump respectively, and the tail end of the combustion chamber is connected with the head end of an exhaust nozzle. According to the novel Mars spacecraft combined propulsion system provided by the invention, a propellant required by a spacecraft can be directly prepared by utilizing available resources of Mars.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a novel combined propulsion system of a Mars vehicle, and relates to the technical fields of Mars exploration and Mars vehicle power. Background technique [0002] With the improvement of human ability to enter space and the development of aerospace technology, deep space has become one of the important fields of human exploration. Mars exploration has become a hotspot in human deep space exploration in recent years. The continuous development of propulsion technology has provided the possibility for difficult space missions such as manned Mars exploration and return Mars exploration. With the continuous success of manned spaceflight and moon landing programs, the space competition goal of various countries has gradually turned to Mars. China's Mars exploration program was officially established in January 2016. Under the general goal of "serving the sustainable development of human society", the program will explore the origi...
