It is proposed to develop a small spacecraft for an experiment using high-temperature superconductors (HTS) and shape memory materials. The purpose of the experiment is to test a technological capability of creating a strong magnetic field on the small spacecraft using HTS and shape memory materials for deployed large-area structures, and study the magnetic field interaction with the solar wind plasma and the resulting force impact on the small spacecraft. This article is of a polemical character and makes it possible to take a fresh look at the applicability of new technologies in space-system engineering. Key words: high-temperature superconductors, shape memory materials, solar wind, spacecraft.

35 years ago, in March 1986, a unique flight of the Soyuz T-15 transport manned vehicle was performed, including in its program the flight of the crew from one orbital station to another (from the Mir station to the Salyut-7 station) and back. In the 60-year history of manned space exploration, such a double flight continues to be the only one of its kind. The article considers the circumstances that developed at the time of the Mir station launch into orbit — the first station of the 3rd generation. The approaches adopted during the development of the ballistics profile and the operational changes required during its implementation are described in detail. In conclusion, the actual fuel consumption of all spacecraft involved in this scheme is presented. It is assumed that the experience gained during the implementation of flights can be used in future promising manned missions, both in near-Earth orbit and in the implementation of the future Lunar program. Key words: orbital station Salyut, orbital station Mir, manned vehicle, orbital flights, prospective human missions.

The paper presents results of conceptual design studies to determine configuration of an electrically propelled upper stage (EPUS) – a space transportation stage (a space tug) with main engines based on electric propulsion powered by solar arrays. It addresses the problem of deploying a multi-plane orbital constellation of small spacecraft (SSC) using an electrically propelled upper stage. It proposes to change the SSC operational orbital planes based on the effect of the difference in precession rates between the parking and the working orbits owing to the effect of eccentricity in the Earth gravitational field. Requirements have been defined for the EPUS electrical propulsion system that take into account the need to operate it to offset the aerodynamic drag while waiting in the parking orbit for the SSC operational orbital plane to turn. It demonstrates the feasibility of employing four EPUS that use Stationary Plasma Thruster-type electric propulsion as their main engines and gallium arsenide solar arrays for deployment in a 600 km orbit in four planes an orbital constellation of 24 small spacecraft with a mass of ~250 kg each using one launch of a medium capacity launch vehicle of Soyuz-2.1b type. Key words: Electrically propelled upper stage, electric propulsion, small spacecraft, orbital constellation.

Simulations have been run of the final approach involving simultaneous control for m the satellite navigation equipment and OFAS. It was shown that at the moment of initial contact the approach accuracy of 2–5 cm for relative position, and of 1 cm/s for velocity is achieved. Key words: spacecraft, navigation, rendezvous, docking, final approach, satellite navigation, optical sensor, TV camera, control, precision.

In view of the increasing number of science experiments being carried out in the Russian Segment of the International Space Station, there is a growing interest in the state of the environment where they are conducted, especially, in the contaminating effects of the external induced atmosphere. Sources of the induced atmosphere contamination are the off-gassing of non-metallic materials of the outer coatings, firings of control system thrusters and exhausts of various venting systems, as well as dust particles remaining on the external surfaces after launch from Earth, atmospheric aerosols and space dust. The paper presents results of measurements of molecular depositions on the sensors of quartz crystal microbalances that were used for evaluating contamination in the induced atmosphere of the first Soviet orbital stations Salyut-7 and Mir, as well as modules Pirs and Poisk of the Russian Segment of the International Space Station. The results of the experiments show a significant effect of lighting and thermal conditions of the contamination source and the quartz microbalance sensor on the measurement results. Key words: contamination, quartz crystal microbalance, orbital, external induced atmosphere.

A key condition for accomplishing a mission of an unmanned spacecraft consists in providing it with resources. Resources can be replenished through synergetic observations of processes in cases where measured data are partially or fully missing or lacking for some of the controlled objects by means of measuring parameters of the processes characterizing the operation of other controlled objects. As an example, the paper discusses provisioning of resources for the process of controlling the motion about the center of mass by means of synergetic observations in cases where no inertial instrument was available for measuring the angular rate vector in the system controlling the motion of the geostationary communications satellite Yamal-200. Specifically, the observation is based on the operation of transitive closure of the binary relation defined on the base set of processes in the onboard systems and ground assets for radio interactions with the onboard systems of the unmanned spacecraft. Key words: unmanned spacecraft, control process, measuring data, binary relations, transitive closure, provision of resources.

The paper discusses small oscillations of a panel in an incompressible medium. Air can be considered an incompressible medium during modal tests of solar array panels for spacecraft deployed on the ground in a lab environment. A panel is represented as a two-sided boundary surface. Conditions are determined for applicability of the potential motion of the medium. Calculation of the attached mass is reduced to the solution of the Neumann boundary value problem. To solve the boundary value problem, the method of boundary elements is used in the piecewise constant approximation variant, which provides a solution of the hypersingular boundary integral equation. Numerical solutions are obtained for the three fundamental modes of rectangular panels. The obtained numerical values are refined using non-linear Shanks transformation. Dependence of attached mass on panel elongation and the amount of the gap between its fragments is studied. For any in-plane oscillation mode of a panel fragment, the attached mass is determined using the principle of linear superposition. An estimate is given of the effect of the distance from the panel to the wall on the attached mass value. Key words: oscillations, incompressible medium, air, attached mass, rectangular panels, boundary elements method.
