Design and Stress Analysis of Extraterrestrial ... - The Black Vault

f
I
The first of these works is to draw up an ERE composition
diagram. For general orientation, Fig. 1.10 presents a composition
diagram of a hypothetical piloted 'pace vehicle with an ERE,
broken- down into its main parts; Fig. 1.11,presents the component
parts of useful load, and Fig. 1.12 the component parts of the control
system of this vehicle.
In the development of an ERE b-sed on a technical task, the
composition diagrams must comply with all conditions imposed by
the buyer. 'Therefore, below, in Fig. 1.13-1.16 diagrams are
presented which characterize the composition of an ERE only with
respect to •the large systems used in any ERE. For example, Fig. 1.16
shows a more detailed breakdown of only one nuclear electric ERE
with a turbogenerator system for obtaining electrical power. The
composition of a nuclear electrical system and other ERE systems
depends upon a hugh number of possible general and particular solutions
with. respect to each of the systems uiead in the ERE. A list of
aggregates and instrumentG-, presented in Fig. 1.16, reflects the
approximate nomenclature of aggregates, instruments, units,
and subsystems. It is assumed that all the main systems and their
parts are created on the principle of self-adaptation.
Composition of ion engine
For example, let us examine the composition diagram of an ion
engine presented in Fig. 1.15. From the diagram it is apparent
that the electrical rocket engine includes:
- a system of 0 converting parameters of electrical power for
the electrical rocket engines;
- automatic electrical equipment, circuit breakers, and
emergency electricol power release;
- cooling system for electrical , cket engines;
- module unit of electrical rocket engines;
- automatic control equipment for the engine unit;
Sequipment for monitoring and maintaining reliability;
structural parts: power frame, attachment devices, electrical
supply line, etc.
