Abstract

The main features and key problems in the development of air-breathing electric propulsion (ABEP) are outlined. Qualitative differences between ABEP and its closest predecessor, electric propulsion (EP), are highlighted. The necessary conditions for the long-term maintenance of spacecraft with ABEP in ultra-low (120–250 km) orbits (ULEO) are formulated. EP technologies, which have the best prospects for application in future ABEP, are shown. Estimates of the feasibility of long-term missions in ULEO are presented, including those based on the integrated optimization of the layout of spacecraft with ABEP and solar arrays. The main results of investigations of spacecraft maneuverability are described.

The review uses the results of studies published mainly in recent years. At the same time, some historical facts of first practical steps in EP- and ABEP-technology development, which remained out of the attention of a wide audience due to different reasons, are described. The authors felt free of giving their own assessment of a number of the results presented in key areas of the research.

吸气式电力推进航天飞行器的研究与发展:昨天、今天和明天

概述了空气呼吸式电力推进（ABEP）的主要特点和发展中的关键问题。强调了ABEP与其最接近的前身——电力推进（EP）之间的定性差异。制定了具有ABEP的航天器在超低（120–250公里）轨道（ULEO）上长期维护的必要条件。介绍了EP技术在未来ABEP中的应用前景。对ULEO长期任务的可行性进行了估计，包括基于ABEP和太阳能电池阵列航天器布局的综合优化。介绍了航天器操纵性研究的主要结果。该综述主要使用了近年来发表的研究结果。同时，介绍了EP和ABEP技术开发的最初实际步骤的一些历史事实，这些历史事实由于不同的原因而没有引起广泛的关注。作者可以自由地对研究的关键领域中的一些结果进行自己的评估。
