论文摘要
我们研究了行星际物质作为飞行星际飞行的航天器等离子体推进器的可能燃料。太阳辐射被认为是捕获的空间环境颗粒的电离和加速度的能量来源，被用作掉落重量。捕获空间环境的方法，该方法取决于其密度，航天器的速度以及太阳辐射的功率，定义了该方案的技术可行性。如估计值所示，在某些条件下，血浆加速器的脉冲和连续操作都是可能的。
We examine the use of the interplanetary substance as a possible fuel for spacecraft plasma thrusters for interplanetary flights. The solar radiation is considered as an energy source for the ionization and the acceleration of particles of captured space environment that is used as drop weight. The method of capturing the space environment, which is dependent on its density, the velocity of the spacecraft, and the power of solar radiation, defines the technical feasibility of this scheme. Both pulsed and continuous operations of the plasma accelerator are possible under some conditions as shown in the estimates.
