" Fast
Flight To The Solar System Periphery ". V.M. Linkin (Space Research Institute of RAS (IKI)) Co-authors: V.M. Gotlib, A.B. Manukin, A.N. Lipatov, N.A. Eismont Abstract: The
main scientific tasks of the Fast Flight project are concidering
the following ones : measurements of magnetic field,
the solar wind parameters, the dusty density distribution at the solar system
periphery and the confirmation or the disproof of gravitational anomalies. It
is suggested the different variants of precision measurements of
gravitational forces and nongravity ones acting on
the space apparatus (SA) in this region. To set up the nonexpensive
project of fast flight to the solar system periphery the elaborated and
tested in the practice technologies may be used. The SA running may be
realized by few steps. At the first stage the chemical engines may be used. Then
the running is continuing with help of the electroreactive
engine. The running efficiency increases due to the essential decreasing of
both working devices mass and SA energy system one. So after the running
engines separation the space apparatus may has mass about (150-200) kg and
the time required for its flight to Pluton orbit will be ~ 6,5 years. |
