АНАЛИЗ СОВРЕМЕННОГО СОСТОЯНИЯ И ПЕРСПЕКТИВЫ РАЗВИТИЯ РАКЕТНЫХ ДВИГАТЕЛЕЙ ДЛЯ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ ДАЛЬНЕГО КОСМОСА

Abstract

The article analyzes the current state and development prospects of rocket engines for space exploration. Currently, for flights to other planets, not to mention the stars, the use of liquid-propellant and solid-propellant rocket engines is becoming increasingly unprofitable, although many rocket engines have been developed. Thus, to reach manned planes even the nearest planets, it is necessary to develop rocket launchers on engines operating on principles different from chemical propulsion systems. The most promising in this regard are electric, laser and nuclear rocket engines, as well as hybrid rocket engines such as solid-state nuclear rocket engine (NRE) and electric jet engine (ERE) or gas-phase NRE and ERE.
