Space debris presents a serious threat to existing satellites. Observing the purity of the outer space, JSC "Information Satellite Systems named after Academician M. F. Reshetnev" (ISS) developed special engines. Consider more of their principle of work.

ISS received a patent for a special electromagnetic engine. Its main task is to pass from the orbit old GLONASS satellites. With this engine, outdated models will be moved to more dense layers of the atmosphere for disposal.

The principle of operation of the mechanism is to transform electrical energy into kinetic. Simply put, the ETOV with the orbit will be carried out by the interaction of the electromagnet of the cosmic engine with the magnetic field of the Earth. That is, the movement will occur only in one direction. Motor devices are attached to the satellite housing by rods in two places. This takes into account the center of gravity of the spacecraft.

According to experts, to lead the satellite with orbits with the help of a new electromagnetic engine, it will take half a year. If you count the point of reference when a decision is made about its disposal. It is worth noting that energy consumption by the engine should not be critical for the satellite power system. The thrust should be enough for the whole path of care from earthly orbit.

The domestic IT project Sfera can rightfully be considered the most ambitious project in the world. His release is not far off. To find out about Sfera more, click on the link. The project is open to investors and grateful for their support!

It is not only about the elimination of GLONASS satellites. The new invention will be useful and in the event of a threat to a collision with other satellites. But in this case, the electromagnetic engine will already need its own power source.

The patent states that the technology will allow cleaning the near-earth space from cosmic garbage. Now there are both active GLONASS satellites in space and have spent their resource. The second not only forms the accumulation of space debris, but they can also face acting satellites.

Today, the development of ISS acquires particular relevance. Since, the functionality of the electromagnetic engine will allow not only spent satellites from the orbit, but also those acting. However, on the use of the invention for military purposes only guess.

What do you think, how relevant is the question of the purity of space now? Maybe Russian specialists would have to send their strength in another direction? Or do not postpone the cleaning of orbit from cosmic garbage?
