MOSCOW, January 17. /tass/. The S. A. Lavochkin NGO (part of Roscosmos) proposed using universal inflatable modules to take out of orbit spacecraft that have developed a resource. This is stated in the theses to the report of the company's specialists to the XLVI Academic Readings on Cosmonautics in memory of S.P. Korolev (Royal Readings).

"JSC NPO Lavochkina has proposed a concept of a universal module that could be used for different vehicles and contains a solution for the removal of satellites from orbit due to aerodynamic braking forces created by an inflatable spherical brake shell made of a thin metallized polymer film," the theses say.

According to experts, several models of the technical implementation of the Cubesat nanosatellite removal system have been developed. A sample of such a device was also created. It is based on the developments of the S. A. Lavochkin NGO and the Moscow Aviation Institute under the leadership of the head of the Iskra Student Space Design Bureau, Sergei Firsyuk.

According to the theses, this method of removing a satellite from orbit refers to passive methods of combating the formation of space debris, since the inflatable module will be included in the design of the spacecraft. At the same time, the active means (external impact on the object) were considered by the specialists of the S.A.Lavochkin NGO to be expensive and requiring a complex management system.

"It is more rational to use passive means of withdrawal, such as cable systems, atmospheric sail and inflatable braking devices," the theses say.

XLVI Academic Readings on Cosmonautics in memory of S.P. Korolev (Royal Readings) will be held at the Bauman Moscow State Technical University from January 25 to 28.
