The design concept of a new generation space vehicle, the Tsiolkovsky space complex, is discussed with special attention given to the basic demands of the spacecraft and its systems. These include an operational lifetime of 5 to 7 years; autonomous functioning of all on-board systems and stable long-range radio communication with the earth; energy supply based on fully autonomous radioisotope electric current generators; and rotary and trajectory control systems based on new high-accuracy algorithms of navigation and control, using radiation-resistant instruments consuming little power. For a mission to the sun, the solar probe scientific and housekeeping systems operating in superextreme thermal conditions must be provided. The trade-off analysis of the possible ballistic schemes of the Tsiolkovsky mission to the sun determined the basic scheme permitting perturbation maneuvers in the Jupiter gravitational field.
