Center Makeeva proposed to resume the development of reusable rocket "Korona"

92
Specialists of the State Rocket Center. Makeev was offered to resume work on the creation of a reusable single-stage rocket with a vertical take-off and landing "Crown". This is stated in the report of the company, which will be presented at the Academic Readings on cosmonautics.





“Technical and economic studies have been carried out and an effective development schedule for the launch vehicle has been developed. The necessary conditions for the creation of a launch vehicle have been investigated and the perspectives and results of both the development and operation of the proposed launch vehicle have been analyzed, ”the document says.

It is reported that “the rocket will have to have a launch mass of 280-290 tons and will be designed for launching payloads weighing up to 7 tons with traditional use or up to 12 tons with a special launching scheme to low near-earth orbits (from the territory of Russia - to 6 tons and to 11 tons, respectively), subject to the use of reusable booster blocks, the payload can be delivered to a height of up to 10 thousand kilometers and return back to Earth, after which it will be possible to restart after a day .

It is proposed to equip the carrier with a high-performance main engine for single-stage rockets, and carbon plastic is chosen as the main structural material, “the effectiveness of which was used in the construction of single-stage rockets was verified by a number of design studies”.

Experts clarified that the carrier will use only environmentally friendly components of the fuel - oxygen and hydrogen.

The Corona can be used in the interests of manned space flight in the construction of modular orbital stations and for the delivery of cargo to them or to the ISS. A comparison is made with previously created samples of reusable space technology and the correctness of the design studies carried out and the high probability of successful creation of this rocket ("Corona")

- Reported at the enterprise.

The development of the Korona rocket was conducted from 1992 to 2012 of the city. Works were stopped due to lack of funding.

          unions are already becoming obsolete

          They said the same when looking at the Shuttles, but now he has survived the Union and carries the hitchhikers astronauts laughing In this case, we have the limit of technology and there is no need to look for good from good. Most likely they will be replaced, like AK, devices based on other physical principles. Also Proton, the transition to a digital unit has led to accidents. But there will be no better rocket, if it is a pity to lose the first stages, you can use elementary parachute systems to return them. Elon Musk is engaged in the lunar program under the pretext of exploring Mars and reducing the cost of casting weight. The lunar scam is close to universal exposure, in order to level it, a real landing on the moon is needed. The Japanese spoiled their Kaguya, for they did not find the landing sites, in particular Apollo 15 and 17, with high-resolution cameras, although this was part of the flight plan of the samurai machine gun.

            Now, if they found, having a resolution of 15 km, that would be a splash
            The scientific program of the Kaguya probe made it possible to compile a topographic map of the moon with a resolution of about 15 km. With the help of the Okin satellite, it was possible to map the distribution of gravity on the far side of the moon. Also, the data obtained allowed us to draw conclusions about the decay of the volcanic activity of the Moon 2,84 billion years ago [14]. The Kaguya probe was the first device to look at the bottom of Shackleton Crater, where it was supposed to find ice. [15]

            And the most accurate camera gives
            Optical means of observation are represented by a stereoscopic camera Terrain Camera and two spectrometer infrared (Multiband Imager) and visible range (Spectral Profiler). The camera resolution is 10 m / pixel. Using these instruments, a topographic and global mineralogical survey of the lunar surface was made.

            10 meters per pixel, if you put four Abrams in a box, the camera will see them as one point.

              The Americans launched the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, which, exactly 2 weeks after the fall of Kagui, entered the lunar orbit, which officially is looking for a place for future landings, and NASA published fake photos of it from places allegedly former landings, and although its LROC camera was announced at a resolution of 25 centimeters per pixel, they publish turbidity as proof (and this has not become a sensation for the world community, since Photoshop is now you won’t be surprised). In a word, a new lunar race began, where the Chinese joined with their Chang'e-1 and even the Indians. In principle, everyone is interested in the places of former landings, and naturally only the Americans found them laughing

          China then flies on even older Soviet technologies ... They just have a lot of extra money, so to increase the importance of their own they shoot into space everything that is possible and that is not allowed. The USSR also went through this. And the dead end in the Russian Federation arose because of the stupidity at the top of the space industry. Effective managers "do not understand and do nothing in industries where quality and not quantity is important. That is, of course, they can slightly improve efficiency, but not significantly and it will not affect the overall picture in any way. Globally, if they do it, it will simply be a failure, which is planned in the Russian cosmonautics, given for the sake of such managers.In the USA, about the same nonsense, they are saved only by an unlimited amount of financial resources.

          You yourself are a dead end, the fact that China has overtaken Russia by launch is an inevitable fact that would have happened sooner or later. And the fact that the launches became less necessary to consider that the launches of the so-called Rokotov, i.e. in fact, military missiles end naturally, plus the new generation spacecraft have a much longer life and, no matter how strange it sounds, they are more reliable, their percentage of launches also disappears. In accordance with the program of Roscosmos, the number of launches from this year should increase, and then we'll see ...

            Let's recount the loss of a person with one conclusion.
            Union up to 3 people, up to 125 * 3 = 375 people launched, max killed in two accidents 6, 4 actually died
            Shuttle up to 8 people, up to 145 * 8 = 1160 people launched, max of 16 dead, 14 actually died.
            Сonclusion
            The larger the result, the better. (The number of running on one dead, in the first line the max running to the maximum dead, in the second really dead to the max running. There are not enough third digits actually running to the real dead, but look for a long time)

    NOT in the subject, but I came across today, I decided to share:
    Former Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu, answering questions from the Turkish Grand National Assembly (VNST) Commission investigating the July 15 coup attempt, explained why, after the destruction of the Russian aircraft, he said: “I gave the order.”

    Davutoglu, who drew attention to the fact that the instruction in question is the rules for using weapons established not only for Russia, but also for all aircraft violating our airspace, noted: “The rules for using weapons are a general instruction; it is agreed that due to the lack of sufficient time at the time of its application to the commander, pilot or military serviceman receiving this instruction, both are entrusted with the right to act within the framework of this general instruction; in the event of a violation, the duration of which is limited to seconds, no special requirements are required. ”

    The destruction of the Russian aircraft is a topic that I have been working on for a long time.

    The answer that Mr. Davutoglu sent to the VNST confirms the information I received. I would like to share them in chronological order.

    June 22, 2012 Syria shot down a Turkish aircraft RF4. Turkey changed the rules on the use of weapons and announced that fire would be fired on Syrian aircraft that would approach its airspace more than five miles. Under these rules, a Syrian helicopter was shot down on September 16, 2013, a Syrian MiG military aircraft on March 23, 2014, and a Syrian helicopter was shot down again on May 16, 2015.

    In connection with Russia, the rules have changed

    On October 1, 2015, the Russian Air Force began operations in Syria. During the period of bombing of opposition objects in the north of the Turkmen mountain, they began to fly over our villages in the south of Hatay.

    On October 4 and XNUMX, Russian aircraft repeatedly violated Turkish airspace. After the warnings, Russian officials apologized and pointed out a navigation error as a reason.

    On October 2015, XNUMX, at a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu, cases of violation and air disturbance by Russia were discussed. It was decided to change the rule that has been in force since the Cold War and did not allow "to open fire on Russian (Soviet) aircraft with the aim of destroying them." From now on, when it came to a Russian plane that violated airspace, an order to open fire could be given by a commander or political leadership.

    On October 22, 2015, the Turkish Air Force Command through the General Staff sent a letter to the Office of the Prime Minister. It was emphasized that a change in the rules regarding Russia could give rise to problematic consequences not only from the point of view of Russian-Turkish relations, but also from the point of view of NATO.

    Events in Hatay on the day of the holiday

    On October 29, 2015, Turkey celebrated Republic Day. The country's leadership was at the celebrations. A Russian helicopter appeared in the sky above Khatai. When the fighter on duty could not take off, it was decided to hit the SAM rocket. But when this also became impossible due to a delay in the high command, the Russian helicopter left the Turkish airspace in which it had been for a long time. This situation caused great indignation of Davutoglu.

    On November 22, 2015, Davutoglu convened a security meeting at Cankaya Palace. The decision on Russian aircraft was left to the discretion of the pilots and the command and control tower. Some ministers from the Justice and Development Party have openly opposed such changes.

    On November 24, a Turkish fighter shot down a Russian plane that violated airspace. The strike was launched by a missile with a thermal guidance system, so that the pilots had the opportunity to escape.

    A major crisis broke out in relations with Russia, and in March 2016, the rules for using weapons against Russia were restored.

    Is the pilot a gulenist?

    Davutoglu explained that with the words “I gave the order” he took responsibility; at the same time, he wanted to examine the connection between the pilots who shot down a Russian plane and the FETÖ terrorist organization Fethullah Gülen. Davutoglu shared the following information: “So, at one of our subsequent meetings, our chief of the General Staff said that the past and the contacts of the pilots had been studied, it was not possible to establish any specific connection.”

    Davutoglu’s statement that he gave the order caused a very strong reaction from Russian President Vladimir Putin. How in the period when Putin began to believe that the FETÖ wants to harm Turkish-Russian relations in many areas, including the destruction of the plane and the attempt on the ambassador Karlov, will he appreciate this revelation of Davutoglu? Wait and see

        The most optimal (in terms of mass) is body braking, and then a parachute (Orion and Federation) for the spacecraft. For booster stages, for vertical landing, that for aircraft, it is necessary to increase the parameters of the strength of the steps, and this is a decrease in the output payload. So "the game is not always worth the candle".

    Well, I do not believe in reusable rocket - I DO NOT BELIEVE.
    The weight on the reinforcement of the structure and the fuel for landing take away from the payload, in addition, the efficiency and reusable engines will be lower a priori

      An air start exists, and at the moment it is the most expensive kg in orbit. Google Pegasus PH.
      And 30% loss of payloads is paid off by the fact that the price of consumables (fuel, etc.) is less than 1% of the launch price of the launch vehicle (SpaceX claims that the price of consumables for Falcon-9 is 0.3% of the price)

        Pegasus is so expensive because it is one of a kind now, and besides, it uses ordinary civilian cargo planes to launch, which imposes a lot of restrictions.
        Take SpaceShipTwo VSS Enterprise for example (thanks to Google), so far these are only suborbital flights, but at this altitude, a kick in the ass is enough for further entry into orbit.
        And the creation of suborbital airplanes will finally put an end to this issue, what will happen just around the corner, all countries are spending their money on this subject without regret.

      I also don’t believe in the economic feasibility of reusable devices at the TODAY.
      1. Structurally, the apparatus must be laid back mechanisms. This is due to a decrease in MO, therefore, a rise in the cost of output kg.
      2. Once the machine is reusable, an appropriate margin of safety is laid in all units of the machine and the corresponding resource. For example, the proton turbopump unit develops power more than the Dnieper. Naturally, with such transcendental loads, the aggregate resource is scanty. To increase the resource, the weight of the unit will increase many times, hence the cost of the output kg.
      3. Promise readiness for the next start in 24 hours. 3 times ha ha! During this time, the device still does not have time to cool down properly! And it must also be tested. Moreover, if you check the electronics relatively quickly - run the testing system and sit, staring at the monitor - then the mechanics need to feel every screw. And non-destructive testing methods are not quick. Not all units can be crawled with equipment, others will have to be dismantled, disassembled, checked in detail, reassembled, set up checked in the complex at the stand, mounted in place and checked again ... In addition, the cost of this inspection is included in the start-up price and it is very substantial, hence the rise in price of the displayed kg.
      4. With all the haemorrhages with operation, the resource will not be infinite - 5-10 starts, and the car in color!
      BUT! That which is economically disadvantageous now, in the future, with the development of technology and other breakthroughs, may turn out to be quite acceptable. Therefore, work in this direction is necessary!

    What was created then was as far from a real spaceplane as a drawing in the framework of an advance project from a real product. An analogue aircraft was created. 50-11, which had neither mass-dimensional, nor instrumental similarity with an orbital plane. It was SUBSONIC analogue aircraft .. SUPERSONIC analogue aircraft - product 50-12 and HYPERSONIC analogue - product 50-13 - NOT CREATED.

    Not created and experimental manned orbital aircraft (EPOS) - or product 50.
    Create HYPERSONIC the accelerator aircraft in the framework of the Spiral project in the 70s is a technical fantasy, if not a gamble.
    It is now impossible to create. so that "SPIRAL" is more of a dream and a beautiful paper project. This became clear even at the stage of developing a subsonic analogue. By the way, the GSR for "Spiral" has never been a transport plane, and this is how the question stood and, accordingly, my answer

    The MAX program has also not been implemented. In this case, due to the collapse of the USSR. More than other projects that could be suitable for implementation in the USSR were not.
    So apart from a few launches of the subsonic counterpart, there was nothing. All other projects were even less worked out and were not implemented even in the paper version.

    New physical principles are sought in the Academies of Sciences, leading laboratories, in the same collider and tokamak. This is a very leisurely and troublesome thing. Although there are sudden discoveries - for example, EM drive.
    As for the orbital elevator, its theory is, in general, more or less understood among specialists. There is nothing to do: drive a large asteroid into orbit of the Earth as a counterweight, and hook a rope of polymer nanocarbon compounds to it. Both are theoretically possible in the relatively distant, but foreseeable future. The Japanese were seriously busy with carbon threads, and even got a few meters. The asteroid can be towed with the help of a space tug on a yard, which we are working on.
    As for the Crown ... In the comments, for some reason, everyone forgets about the fact that a multi-stage disposable rocket, the same Union or Proton, is essentially a prefabricated designer of independent blocks with its own propulsion systems, stabilization systems and separation. All this can be manufactured at different enterprises and all this economy must be checked at the manufacturing stage, assembled correctly, checked at the assembly stage, put in the computer a flight program for each unit individually and for the entire system as a whole. And, as we see, it is the mismatch in the operation of the blocks that is the main cause of the crash. In this regard, a single-stage design looks preferable, even despite the complexity of the oxygen-hydrogen engine in tandem with low thrust shunting.
