Kyiv Polytechnic - the alma mater of outstanding designers of aviation and space technology, who changed our time, our world for the better. In particular, S.P. Korolev, I.I. Sikorski, V.M. Chelomei, L.V. Lyulev, A.M. Lulka, V.I. Kalinin and others were studied here. One of the traditions of science CPD, as well as many other universities in Ukraine, has always been the solution of scientific and technical challenges posed by life. Therefore, today we are to respond adequately to the fact that the priority for the Ukrainian rocket and space industry needs to preserve and develop their scientific and technological potential. Actual reserves of this development is the introduction of a new development of advanced ideas in different fields of science. Cooperation between higher education institutions and industry enterprises, especially with the state enterprise Design Bureau "Yushnoe " of Yangel needs to be organiazed on modern principles ." An example of such cooperation may be presented by the project of creating an inter-university microsatellite under the auspices of DB"Yushnoe" with the participation of the Center for Aerospace Education Youth. In this project the experts of four universities: Dnepropetrovsk National University named after O. Gonchar, National Aerospace University "HAI", NTUU "KPI" and the National Aviation University combine their capabilities and achievements. This illustrates the new quality of cooperation with universities and high-tech industry and deserves support.
Kyiv Polytechnic Institute scientists are collaborating with DB"Yushnoe" for more than two decades in several scientific and technical fields. Systematic approach to our cooperation in recent years was defined by signed in 2005 by Stanislav Konyukhov and Michael Zgurovsky agreement on cooperation and coordination in the development and implementation of high technologies in the field of space technology. Annex to the contract was the program, the implementation of which was joined by scientists from several institutions and departments of the university.
For example, since 1998 boosters spacecraft with liquid rocket engines are the objects of joint research scientists Institute of Mechanical Engineering and the DB"Yushnoe". Subjects of research works related to the creation of simulation models of dynamic liquid rockets, as well as the study of the dynamics of motion of the launch vehicle and its structural elements in the process of launching into orbit satellites.
Methods, algorithms and software, which were made at the level of world standards, provide the development of efficient simulation of dynamical models of modern rockets and computational and theoretical study of the dynamics of missiles in all phases of flight.
In the late 90-ies the DB"Yushnoe" created the rocket "Cyclone-4" with the full cycle of manufacturing process in Ukraine. Simulation testing of new technical solutions and determining the dynamic characteristics of the rocket is made in the NTUU"KPI". The developed methodology and software is characterized by a wide range of opportunities aimed at the creation of full finite element models of mechanical-hydraulic aerospace systems and perform various types of calculations.
Various designs of satellites to be placed as a payload to the launch vehicle, have the appropriate mass-inertial and technical specifications. For the launching of satellites into orbit without damage both the safe operation of the missile in the boost phase of flight, and the design of the fairing were responsible. Therefore, over the last decade DB"Yushnoe" focused on the development of new designs fairing of traditional and new composite materials. To test the technical solutions NTUU"KPI" tasked to develop a mathematical model and study the dynamics of an elastic body fairing during flight and separation.
Search for complex solution of the problems of dynamics of rockets continues today. Valid conclusions and recommendations received in the performance of scientific research, used by specialists DB"Yushnoe" to improve technical solutions and options reliable operation of launch vehicles.
Scientists of the Faculty of Heat Power Energy NTUU "KPI" are fruitfully cooperating with DB"Yushnoe" in several areas, the key of which is the use of so-called heat pipes, proposed and established by research group of Professor Michail Semeny in the 70-ies of the last century. The unique properties of these pipes and honeycomb panels and their use in space technology led to considerable interest of many companies from different countries (Russia, Germany, USA) and, of course, DB"Yushnoe".For example, in late 2010 we got the Implementation Act from the Institute of Space Systems of the German Aerospace Center, which witnessed high efficiency of the created in KPI heat pipes in the German microsatellites new generation "Bird", which has been successfully operating in orbit for over 9 years, exceeding the planned period of operation in 5 times. And this has been achieved, including through new technology and design approaches to support thermal regimes of the constituent elements of the microsatellite, which is implemented on the heat pipes developed in the NTUU"KPI".
To perform research and implementation structures of space technology, we have established the necessary scientific and technological base. This made it possible to perform for DB"Yushnoe".a number of developments, including the layout of the heat carrier honeycomb panels design with heat pipes for the project "Lybid" (1996-1998), carry out flight tests honeycomb panels design with heat pipes on the unit АУОС-СМ-КФ (1998-2002), to work and to provide components and sets of heat pipes for the project "Cyclone 4".
The use of heat pipe technology to create solar panels of spacecraft "Lybid" and "Sich-2" was effective. Flight testing of solar panels on honeycomb panels on carbon fiber frame for vehicles АУОС-СМ-КФ, "Sich-1M" and UNISAT-3 (development of the University of Rome with photocells NTUU"KPI") gave positive results.
Also effective is our cooperation in the development and implementation of programs and methods of thermal vacuum tests using cameras TCE and TCE-2.5-0.2, simulating conditions of the space in the laboratory. This is a unique scientific equipment created by our scientists and designers. On it we research designs of space technology, developed in the KPI and in other organizations, including DB"Yushnoe".In particular, designs for MS-1 -TK, "Egypt sat", "Sich-1M" nanosatellite engineering model of its own design, and others were studied.
We continue to fulfill our obligations under existing economic agreements with the DB"Yushnoe", primarily relating to the 2012-2013 "Development, production and self-test experimental panels with thermal control coating for flight testing of" Mikrosat. "
DB"Yushnoe" in association with "Pivdenmash" are one of the main participants of the project "Lybid" along with co-authors from Russia and Canada with respect to the manufacture and launch into geostationary orbit the first Ukrainian communication satellite "Lybid." State Enterprise "Ukrkosmos" is a Customer for this project. Under the contract with this company Educational Scientific Institute of Telecommunication Systems NTUU"KPI" provides information, advice, research and practical assistance on matters relating to the telecommunications system of "Lybid." Our experience in the coordination of frequency-orbit resource, conducting scientific and technical expertise of the telecommunications "Lybid" and training is involved here.
As part of an inter-university project to create a youth microsatellite scientists Faculty of aviation and space systems solve the problems of creating a module of the system angular orientation and stabilization, the sensor coordinates of the Sun, the satellite navigation equipment, panels with thermal coating, mini heat pipes and solar panels, and engine with flywheel with control unit.
Our youth team of students and post-graduate students from four faculties of the KPI (FHPE, FE, FRE, FEPEA) under the leadership of B.M. Rassamakin created a nano-satellite engineering model within the format of CubeSat - spacecraft concept proposed by Stanford professor Robert Tvaygsom. Nanosatellite KPI PolyITAN-1 has a mass of about 1 kg and dimensions 14x14x13 sm. After the presentation of this development at the Institute of Kalman (Belgium), we were invited to participate in the International Project QB50. Today, as part of this project, we create two designs nanosatellites - "KPI-1" and "KPI-2", which along with 50 nanosatellites universities of other countries, provided that appropriate payment can be launched into orbit, respectively, in 2013 and 2015 in the container CubeSat firm ISIS, Delft (Netherlands).
Note that the experience of creating nano-satellites, in particular the use of the module design navigation Ukrainian development and completion of its construction in space, as well as new technical solutions to protect the power supply module and channels of information processing may be involved in the development of spacecrafts DB"Yushnoe".
These examples of the ongoing development match the research directions envisaged by signed on 7 February this year General agreement between the State Enterprise "Design Bureau"Yushnoe" of Yangel" and higher educational institutions of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine. Analysis of the new thematic proposals that form the content of the agreement shows that the units of the University have the opportunity to significantly expand the implementation of their research in the aerospace industry of the country. So, the researchers of the Faculty of Physical Engineering offer development of composites representing carbon matrix reinforced with carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes, nanoparticles filled with powders of various materials that allow to change, for example, the conduction properties 100-1023 times. Thermally modified magnetic, electrically conductive or dielectric nanopowders and thin nanofilms graphite can be used for protection against electromagnetic and radiation.
The same problem of protecting electronic devices from radiation scientists Faculty of Chemical Technology offer to solve by the creation of non-resonant magnetic film composite coatings based on polymer binders.
Scientists Institute of Mechanical Engineering offers the development of new technologies for the production of high-precision products made of plastic and metaloplastic material using cold forming processes, and the development of methods for calculating the strength under complex static and dynamic load.
The welding department offers researchers development of welding technology of permanent joints of carbon-carbon materials with metals.
Among the developments of the Faculty of aviation and space systems can be called such, as a system of orientation and stabilization of small spacecraft, engine flywheel for microsatellites, angular velocity sensor for telemetry and brushless DC motor of high power.
Interesting for use in future in projects Design Bureau"Yushnoe" can be developments Faculty of Physical Engineering in the use of cathodes and cathode-heating units hexaboride single crystal titanium ion spacecraft orbit correction facilities within the project "Double start."
These and other proposals of NTUU"KPI" were transferred to DB"Yushnoe" . According to the results of that meeting during our ministry competitions of state budget themes it is expected target priority support those proposals on which higher education institutions will be engaging in contract with the DB"Yushnoe"
