Annotation: The article provides an overview of modern research on the problem of creating electric jet engines based on metal plasma. Electric jet engines have long attracted the attention of specialists working in the fi eld of creating space technology. One type of electric rocket engines is electric engines that use a metal plasma fl ow. A metal plasma rocket engine (Vacuum Arc Thruster, VAT) is a new class of electric propulsion systems in which metal converted into a plasma state using an electric discharge and an accelerated metal plasma fl ow creates jet thrust. A metal plasma engine does not require gas or liquid fuel, neutralizers, heaters, highvoltage electronics, or strong electric or magnetic fi elds to operate. Metal plasma engines use metal to create a plasma fl ow, so their design is very compact. Since the cathode material is in the solid phase, there can be no fuel loss due to leakage. No gases are required, so such engines do not threaten the spacecraft with a possible explosion of the pressurized container. In addition, there are no valves and fl ow sensors (components that increase the complexity and cost of the system). The purpose of this work is to analyze the level of development of vacuum-arc jet engines on metal plasma based on the generalization and systematization of publications. Particular attention paid to the analysis of works that consider metal plasma engines with a thrust level of the order of millinewtons. Based on the analysis, conclusions drawn regarding the relevance of the development of vacuum-arc jet engines. In March 2024, a satellite successfully launched in the USA, in which the Xantus X4 vacuum-arc jet engine developed by Alameda Applied Sciences Co. and Benchmark Space Systems was installed. Currently, leading companies in the space industry continue to improve the technology of metal plasma rocket engines with an emphasis on reliability, increased thrust and service life. The article intended for specialists in the fi eld of rocket engine engineering.

Key words: electric thruster, vacuumarc discharge, metal plasma

Annotation: Modern research into technologies for extracting mineral resources on the Moon has revealed some harsh limitations related to dependence on Earth’s resources and high technological requirements. While the chemical and carbothermal reduction of lunar regolith is theoretically possible, it requires a constant supply of reducing agents such as hydrogen or carbon from Earth. This signifi cantly increases mission costs and complicates logistics, making such methods unsuitable for large-scale applications. Pyrolysis, which involves heating regolith to extremely high temperatures, is also not an optimal solution due to the need for complex and energy-intensive equipment that exceeds the capabilities of current space technologies. Electrolysis using molten fl uoride salts or calcium chloride (CaCl2 ) has been proposed as an alternative, but its effi ciency is limited by the need to deliver fl uxes from Earth. This reduces the autonomy of the process and makes it less economically viable in the long term. In light of these limitations, the most promising technology appears to be the direct electrolysis of molten regolith, which stands out for its simplicity and independence from terrestrial materials. This method involves melting local raw materials, followed by electrolytic separation into useable components such as oxygen, metal alloys, and other materials. However, the key challenge to implementing this technology is the development of refractory conductive materials for anodes that can withstand the extreme conditions of high temperatures and aggressive oxygen environments. Existing materials degrade rapidly under these factors, leading to reduced effi ciency and increased maintenance costs. Additionally, reliable protective coatings for equipment must be developed to prevent corrosion and mechanical wear. Overcoming these technical challenges would enable the creation of an autonomous lunar resource extraction system, which is critical for future lunar bases and further space exploration. Such a system could provide astronauts with oxygen, water, and construction materials without constant supplies from Earth, signifi cantly reducing the cost of space missions. Thus, despite existing technological challenges, direct electrolysis remains the most viable option for the industrial use of local lunar resources. Further research should focus on optimizing materials and application methods, as well as on developing energy-effi cient solutions to ensure the stability and economic feasibility of lunar mining. This will open new possibilities for a sustained human presence on the Moon and will be a signifi cant step in deep space exploration.

Key words: Electrochemical reduction of melts, inert anodes, electrolysis, pyrolysis

Annotation: Separation of the spent LV stages is one of the important problems of the rocket technology, which requires the comprehensive analysis of different types of systems, evaluation of their parameters and structural layouts. Basic requirements are specified that need to be taken into account when engineering the separation system: reliable and safe separation, minimal losses in payload capability, keeping sufficient distance between the stages at the moment of the propulsion system start. Detailed classification of their types («cold», «warm», «hot», «cold-launched» separation) is given and their technical substance with advantages and drawbacks is described. Certain types of «cold» and «warm» separation of the spent stages of such rockets as Dnepr, Zenit, Antares, Falcon-9 with different operating principle are introduced – braking with the spent stage and pushing apart two stages. Brief characteristics of these systems are given, based on the gas-reactive nozzle thrust, braking with solid-propellant rocket engines, separating with spring or pneumatic pushers. Development of the separation system for the advanced Cyclone-4M ILV is taken as an example and design sequence of stage separation is suggested: determination of the necessary separation velocity and capability of the separation units, determination of the number of active units, calculation of design and energy parameters of the separation units, analysis of the obtained results followed by the selection of the separation system. Use of empirical dependences is shown, based on the great scope of experimental and theoretical activities in the process of design, functional testing and flight operation of similar systems in such rockets as Cyclone, Dnepr and Zenit. According to the comparative analysis results, pneumatic separation system to separate Cyclone-4M Stages 1 and 2 was selected as the most effective one. Its basic characteristics, composition, overall view and configuration are specified. Stated materials are of methodological nature and can be used to engineer the separation systems for LV stages, payload fairings, spacecraft etc.

Key words: separation system, functional units of separation, «cold separation», «warm separation», pneumatic pusher, spring pusher, SPRE, gas-reactive nozzles, Zenit LV, Dnepr LV, Falcon 9 rocket, Cyclone-4М LV.

Annotation: This article considers the problem of determination of propulsion system solid fuel burn-out time in the extraatmospheric flight segment taking the apparent acceleration and apparent speed measured by the inertial navigation system. Correlation analysis of the realized and nominal dependencies of the apparent acceleration and apparent speed of the launch vehicle on relative operating time of the propulsion system is suggested to be used to forecast the fuel burn-out time. In order to improve the accuracy of the forecast, and to decrease the amplitude and vibration rate of its results several channels simultaneously are suggested to be used for calculations with subsequent majority voting and digital filtration. As a result of the study, the procedure to forecast the time of solid fuel burn-out in the launch vehicle propulsion system in flight has been developed. Operability of the suggested procedure has been verified using the mathematical simulation of the launch vehicle flight for two operating modes of the propulsion system different from the nominal ones. Based on the statistical processing of the deviations of the predicted time of solid fuel burn-out versus the realized one it was determined that the forecast based on the results of apparent acceleration measurement has the greatest accuracy with the minimal number of operations. Suggested procedure is easily realized as the multistage adaptive algorithm and can be used in the guidance system of the solid-propellant launch vehicle in the extra-atmospheric flight segment for the numerical forecast of the reachable terminal parameters of flight, definition of command vector and development of the relevant thrust vector control commands.

Key words: guidance system, correlation analysis, procedure, mathematical simulation

Annotation: The general information on gas pressure reducers, on their purpose in launch vehicles and spacecraft pneumohydraulic systems is set forth. The impact of different operating conditions on physical characteristics of these devices is considered. The main and auxiliary parametric characteristics of the reducer are presented and the physical process of gas pressure reduction in it is explained. The error of output pressure regulation is evaluated using full differential of function, whose arguments (input pressure, flow rate, temperature) have scatter. The reducer temperature curve is shown and the impact of structural temperature on the value of dynamic (with flow rate) and static (without flow rate) pressure in reducer output cavity is explained. The difference between the excess pressure reducer and absolute pressure reducer is shown. The brief review of the designs of liquid and bimetal thermal compensators is presented, their advantages and disadvantages are described and the experience of reducers testing with regulating springs made of elinvar is analyzed. Attention is focused on operating temperature and its impact on stability of reducer adjustment. The formulas that describe thermodynamic processes occurring in the reducer are presented. Special attention is given to the properties of regulating spring of the reducer because of change of elasticity modulus coefficient at different temperatures, the expected pressure scatter at reducer output is evaluated and the necessity of measures to reduce this error is explained. To compensate for temperature disturbance, the formula of gas pressure in closed volume of sensitive element is derived. The essence of original technique of pneumocorrection of initial pressure in sensitive element cavity that was proposed and introduced on Yuzhnoye SDO-developed reducers is set forth.

Key words: parametric characteristic, spring, elasticity modulus, thermal compensator, pneumocorrection
