It does not account for terminal disclaimers, term adjustments, failure to pay maintenance fees, or other factors which might affect the term of a patent.AbstractThe invention relates to a space-rocket technology an can be used for both a pilot-controlled and unpiloted space craft in the earth's orbit. The inventive method consists in igniting-up cruising liquid-fuel rocket engines (LRE) of all assembly units, when the propulsion power of LRE of the side units is set to maximum and the LRE of the central unit is set relatively low.Other References
