Research on Reusable Technology System for New-Generation Manned Spaceships

Abstract

Aiming at the main constraint of high cost of round-trip transportation between Earth and space in the large-scale space application of space station and manned deep space exploration program, in the development of new-generation manned spaceships in China, to reduce the operation cost and enhance the economic benefit, the relevant design is carried out in accordance with the reusable capability. First, the concept of reusable mode of new-generation manned spacecraft is put forward, the technical difficulties of reusable spacecraft are analyzed, and the technical ways to solve the problems are given in four dimensions, design of reusable conditions, design of reusable performance, design of reusable maintenance security, and design of autonomous health detection and diagnosis, so as to form the technical system of reusable new-generation manned spacecraft. This study has clarified the reusable technology route and realization direction of the new generation of manned spacecraft, which can be used to guide the development of future reusable spacecraft and lay the foundation for large-scale space development.
