Roscosmos published a report on the causes of the collapse of Progress MS-04
Meanwhile, the State Corporation for Space Activities (Roscosmos) provides a fairly detailed report on the causes of the collapse of the Progress MS-04 TGC. In this case, the reasons are called "the most likely." Recall the wreck happened last December 1.
We present data from the Roscosmos report distributed by the press service of the state corporation:
The emergency commission members established the following: the most likely cause of the accident is the opening of the “O” tank of the third stage of the LV as a result of the elements arising from the destruction of the 11D55 engine due to fire and further destruction of the oxidizer pump. The cause of ignition of the oxidizer pump could be possible ingress of foreign particles into the pump cavity or a possible violation of the 11D55 engine assembly technology (discrepancy between the gaps between the screw and the sleeve; between the floating rings and the impeller, possible imbalance and rotor beating). Defect having a production nature, manifested in flight.
As can be seen, the notorious human factor (when assembling a truck) as the cause of the accident is referred to as “most likely” by the Roscosmos along with the influence of foreign particles.
