Abstract

RCEML is a special electromagnetic device. In this paper, the equation of motion of the RCEML is presented. Speed characteristic of RCEML and autostability of projectile have been studied. A 1000-stage RCEML device is designed and simulated for small satellite on the basis of the research for the single-stage RCEML. The parametric evaluations of the RCEML have been concluded with a launcher length of 250m - 260m, tunnel at 5° inclination, last velocity of 8km/s, at which speed small satellite will achieve final orbit. The RCEML is suit for any application of small payload. Such as: planetary probes, nuclear waste launch, intercontinental ballistic artillery and so on.
