Роль геокосмического транспорта в крупномасштабной индустриализации космоса

Abstract

Today, humanity is faced with a number of environmental problems, the solution of which depends on our continued existence. The authors propose a systematic approach to get out of this situation, which is described in detail in the EcoSpace program. The main vector of further industrial development will be space, but its implementation requires transport that has a number of unique characteristics. The authors of the article proposed the design of a general planetary vehicle (GPV), which is a self-supporting aircraft (with a length of 40,076 km, a total mass without payload of about 30 million tons), made in the form of a torus with a cross section of several meters, covering the planet in a plane, parallel to the equator. A solution to the problem of stabilization of the central position of the rotor in the channel of the stator of a general planetary vehicle (GPV) with the help of the forces of the magnetic fields of permanent magnets is proposed. The designed system compensates for external forces acting both on the rotor during takeoff preparation and on the stator during climb. The diagrams of the distribution of magnetic fluxes in the suspension, as well as under the influence of the Earth's gravity force on the rotor near its surface, are given. Thus, a general planetary vehicle, designed to move all harmful industrial production beyond the planet Earth, opens up prospects for using the conditions of weightlessness, vacuum, ultra-low and ultra-high temperatures, spatial, energy and raw materials of near space and the boundless Universe. The results of the conducted studies and their analysis demonstrate that UTS is able to provide a planetary scale and a rapid pace of practical implementation of the uSpace project.
