'.PREFACE<br />

This manual is written in accordance with the program <strong>of</strong> a<br />

course in the design <strong>of</strong> extraterrestrial electric rocket engines<br />

(ERE), <strong>and</strong> is to be read in schools <strong>of</strong> higher educaticn.<br />

In the press a number <strong>of</strong> problems connected with ERE have<br />

been widely discussed. However, the questions examined in this book<br />

<strong>of</strong> their design, strength, vibrations, have not as yet been properly<br />

systematized <strong>and</strong> much time shculd be spent on their study.<br />

In this manual vie-have made an attempt at the systematic<br />

presentation <strong>of</strong> the indidted information. In its preparation<br />

the authors took ii:to account the fact that the students are<br />

already familiar with courses on the strength <strong>of</strong> materials <strong>and</strong><br />

the theory <strong>of</strong> extraterrestrial electric rocket engines.<br />

<strong>The</strong> book consists <strong>of</strong> five chapters.<br />

Chapter I presents general<br />

information on extraterrestrial engines <strong>and</strong> requirements imposed'on<br />

them; ERE classification is given, there fundamental <strong>and</strong> structural<br />

diagrams are presented, <strong>and</strong> also the general problems <strong>of</strong> reliability<br />

<strong>and</strong> strength are examined.<br />

Chapter II<br />

contains fundamental information on design <strong>and</strong><br />

stress analysis <strong>of</strong> the ERE power generator. <strong>The</strong> greatest attention<br />

is here given to nuclear reactors; their classification, structural<br />

diagram, <strong>and</strong> design <strong>of</strong> separate units <strong>and</strong> parts are examined.<br />
