EXTRATERRESTRIAL ENGINES a,
The purpose of a,-cOurse in
extraterrestrial electric rocketi engines is
engires (ERI),
the.,design-and stress analyis ,of
to study designs of
their units and parts, stress and vibiation analyslis,
the development of experiencein planning and designing units and
parts, and-researchon the dynamic phenomena which aocompany engine
operation.
Various engines can b.e used in space. Today wiaely used are
chemical propellant rockets - liquid propeilant rockets (LPRE)
and solid propellant rockets (SPRE).
a
In this course are, studied designs of extraterrestrial.
electric rocket engines-and the thrust which they create as a result
of interaction of electromagnetic and elecqrostatic'fieids with the
ionized working medium.,. Such an engine considts of two fundamental
parts: the airb,?rn power installation and the engine itself, which
can be called a Motor (predominantly lbw thrust).

All electric rocket space engines, based'on type of power plant
can be divided into ERE:
