Опережающая подготовка специалистов для космического строительства

Abstract

This article considers the issue of training designers and technicians for the creation of orbital and planetary structures within the group of specialties 24.00.00 “Aviation and rocket and space technology”. This work is relevant due to the expanding plans for the construction of national and international space stations in the Earth and the Moon orbits, and the construction of bases on the surface of celestial bodies. It is assumed that the exploration of celestial bodies can begin before the end of this decade with the bases created on the surface of the Moon. It is noted that the implementation of these projects must involve the modular principle, the use of robotic mechanisms, smart composite materials, natural resources of celestial bodies and solar energy. Several international master’s degree programs in space construction and architecture are described in brief. As an example, the key features of the new master’s degree curriculum in the field of training 24.04.01 “Rocket complexes and Cosmonautics” developed at the Department of SM-13 “Rocket and Space Composite Structures” at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University are given. A number of new disciplines, new for an aerospace university have been included in the curriculum for the master’s degree graduate to form the necessary competencies in the field of space construction.
