TMK


Visualization of the cruise ship TMK- Mavr over Venus

TMK (Russian: Тяжёлый Межпланетный Корабль - Heavy Interplanetary Spacecraft) - Soviet ship design and mission to send manned Mars and Venus (TMK-MAVR)

The TMK-1 was set to set off in 1971 on a three-year expedition that flew around Mars and dropped the probe. Besides this idea was proposed extended projects such as TMK-E, MAVR and KK in which to fly over Venus, to be used electric drive or manned landing on Mars.

The TMK project was a Soviet response to the American program Apollo. The project has never been completed due to the technical difficulties of the N1 rocket that was necessary for this project.

TMK-1

The first flight to Mars was to begin on June 8, 1971.

The 75-ton TMK-1 ship was to take three crew members aboard. After ten and a half months of flight, the crew would make a flight over Mars and release a remotely-controlled spacecraft to Mars, before returning to Earth. Arrival was scheduled to take place on July 10, 1974 after three years, a month and two days of travel. TMK-E

This version was created in 1960. It was a manned landing on the surface of Mars, and the spacecraft would have been constructed in the orbit of Earth. The space ship was to be driven by an atomic reactor.

TMK-E was to perform its mission in three years. The ship was supposed to have a length of 175 meters and accommodate six crew members. It contained six landers, two for the crew and four for the so-called. Mars mission. Mavr (MArs - VeneRa)

Another version of TMK. This mission, in addition to the flight over Mars, included a flight over Venus on the way back. The project was named "Mavr" (MArs - VeneRa), meaning Mars and Venus. Three cosmonauts were to take part in this mission. KK

In 1966, the final version of the vessel was built within TMK. The ship's propulsion was to be atomic. The mission itself was supposed to last 630 days. The mission was planned for 1980. The crew was to be three. The stay on Mars was to last 30 days. Bibliography
