Spacecraft to fight asteroids: a project developed in Russia

In the state rocket The Makeyev Center is currently developing reconnaissance and strike spacecraft to combat astroids. This was announced yesterday by the head of the center, V. Degtyar. His words are quoted in a message posted on the organization's website: "For the asteroid threat, we have completed a conceptual project to create two spacecraft: Kaissa and Kapkan. Kaissa is a reconnaissance spacecraft, and Kapkan is a strike spacecraft."

According to Interfax, currently, according to Degtyar, proposals are being prepared on the volume of funding for Kapkan.

The Makeev State Research Center had previously proposed to destroy asteroids threatening planet Earth using nuclear explosions, using the Russia-M and Soyuz-2 launch vehicles for the space delivery of warheads.

In the presentation of the SRC them. Makeev, held at the “Space Week” conference in Spain last August, reported that the use of nuclear explosive devices in rocket complexes would protect the planet from dangerous space objects having a diameter of up to three hundred meters when using Soyuz-2 missiles, and with a diameter of up to seven hundred meters - when using the Rus-M missiles.

The SRC specialists speak of two types of impact on flying asteroids: an explosion near an asteroid to change the flight path of a space body or a nuclear explosion directly on the surface of the asteroid — in order to split the latter into smaller bodies and deviate from the flight path.

At a preliminary stage, the SRC specialists developed the Kapkan spacecraft, which carries from one to several nuclear warheads, and designed the Kaissa reconnaissance device, which is designed to assess the chemical composition, structure and refine the trajectory of asteroids threatening the blue planet.

For launching reconnaissance and strike vehicles into orbit, Center specialists suggest using the developed launch vehicle Rus-M and the Soyuz-2 rocket.

“Roskosmos” previously suspended the ongoing work on the creation of the launch vehicle “Rus-M”, giving the following explanation: it duplicates both existing and developed launch vehicles.

What news! So it turns out that Russia has resumed work on creating combat spacecraft? Great news. It is clear that we need to defend ourselves from asteroids, they pose a real danger to the planet. But if we can do it against an asteroid, why not against an artificial space object? We need to google this topic.

[Gordarik]

But if it’s possible by an asteroid, why not by an artificial space object?

In development of this topic - is it really not an analogue of Reagan's star wars ...

[Neighbor]

Soviet development - 100%. But if the asteroid falls into the territory or into the ocean off the coast of America, then it is NOT possible to shoot it down in any case !!!
Let it fall!
In general, the thing is necessary - Apophysis is close already, but again according to calculations - If you do not bring it down, it seems that it should fall into the territory of America !!!!! ????

[mechanic33]

about the shores of America it’s fun to get

an explosion near an asteroid to change the flight path of a comic body or a nuclear explosion directly on the surface of an asteroid - with the aim of splitting the latter into small bodies and deviating from the flight path.

this means if it flies by, then you can "fix". where to

[alex-defensor]

If Apophysis falls to the Earth, it doesn’t matter where, problems will come everywhere - the global economy will shake, and even before the fall .

NeighborI ask you, dear friend, do not so not to love all Americans, ordinary people live there too. Hooligan only their financial and political elite.



By the way, and we can get, see the map of a possible fall on:

[UAZ Patriot]

I also thought about it))) the American thought and forgot, but did the Russian! And I didn’t forget;)

[alex-defensor]

Well you, Victor straight ... EVERYONE THINKED - YOU ONE SAID ...

Russia is indeed participating in the international program to protect the Earth from the asteroid threat. An initial assessment of the chemical composition of the approaching asteroids is really worth under this program. Most likely, international control will be established over the launch of satellites under such a program. However, the very fact of the development of strike satellites will make it possible to produce them ... how to put it .... uh, uh ... a little more than planned in the framework of the international project ... besides, on "THESE UNSCHEDULED" "SUDDENLY" a coating appears that reduces the EPR ...

Their launch may look like this ... OH, AGAIN STARTED DOWN, THE ROCKET DEFLECTED AND THE TEAM FROM THE EARTH WAS DESTROYED, AND THE 4-RE SATELLITE PHOBOS GROUND 2.0 LOST (NO ONE CAN FIND).

[esaul]

The news is amazing and suggests that Russia has now acquired such a potential that it is fully capable of ensuring its security and striding far ahead compared to its closest competitors. And your addition.

So maybe our missiles have not fallen over the past six months ???

Salute, Alex! They fell ... And who do not fall? Ah, here they fly - not at all!

[alex21411]

And you fellow countryman SALUTE !!! Yes, what would you need to fly to have talent, which, thank God, we have in abundance ...

[Evgeny Petrovich]

You need to imagine the reaction USA about Russian nuclear missiles in orbit, and prove to them that they are against asteroids. On the principle of pro in Poland against Iran.

[Igor]

Kina had seen enough with Bruce Willis :))))

[Victor]

Igor Any fiction, just a prediction of the future to come, read Jules Verne.

[Igor]

Yes, I know, just compared.

[almost demobil]

Will Bruce agree to pilot the device? If not, then I don’t know, the project is in question.
But seriously, the project needs to be developed, and even by the joint efforts of leading countries, that is, a chance to die out like dinosaurs.

[bob]

Does this mean the earth is about to end?

[almost demobil]

Well, so much so! I said about the chance, maybe we will wait another.

[Neighbor]

Do not write! Amer end soon! Their volcano farts and everything,% 70-80 will die them out.

[KASKAD]

While Bruce is alive we are safe

[Yazov]

Not bad. I think these are dual-use technologies. Nakraynyak and you can fuck at enemies!

[Aleksey67]

Shhh !!! Why is it so straightforward, we believe the United States that they have missile defense systems in Europe to shoot down Iranian ICBMs, let them believe us that "Qaisa" and "Trap" will shoot down meteorites

[Sergh]

Aleksey67. well, yes, a war with aliens, we need to arm ourselves to the fullest, launch Iskanders into space, defend Europe, an umbrella of nuclear satellites over America, suddenly a meteorite wants to fall on our "friends respected by all". We will stand guard over the entire planet!

[Aleksey67]

You are just about to agree how nice it is to feel like a "defender of democratic values." It would also be necessary to conduct exercises in space more often, and if suddenly "some" satellites "quite accidentally" fall under the distribution ", then such is the difficult duty of being a" defender of earthly civilization "to write off losses under" friendly fire "

[wolk71]

Well done, then there is money if you resumed the program. Such devices are needed so that the Americans completely lose their sleep.

[boris.radevitch]

It's time to develop your own technology and not look
Pentagon in the ass! Go Russia!

[FiremanRS]

Well, if our program works, it will be just super! Again amers morning we’ll die)))) And whether it’s fantastic or not ...... well, Tsiolkovsky could also only dream that his work would become a reality))))

[Evgeny B.]

FiremanRS: and they didn’t have such a dreamer, they dream about dough, they don’t know anything else. That is their purpose. And we would have more Tsiolkovsky! I think most will agree with that.

[desava]

Until they discover new types of energy and tame its power from such "asteroid fighters" there is little sense. Finding an asteroid of the sizes mentioned in the article in space is like trying to see a falling pebble through binoculars. The technological level of development of mankind has not yet reached the level so that the planet can be protected from the asteroid threat. It is another matter that I am glad that not only American specialists are working in this direction, but also ours.

[- = KeepeR = -]

I agree completely. Today, it is full of examples of primary detection of asteroids already on the trajectory of moving away from Earth, i.e. whistled by and didn’t see a damn .... Moreover, the asteroids were by no means small - they would not have seemed too ...

[VikVik741]

Changing the path is good. Especially if you change it to the desired continent

[old rocket man]

VikVik741,
It would be nice of course, but we must remember that we are located in the same latitudes as North America, and adjusting the trajectory, which is probably very difficult to determine and adjust the fall time accordingly, as a result 50 to 50 will fall on America or us. In general, this bike seems to me to cover the development of the shock spacecraft.

[Mr. Truth]

Excellent, at one time they worked on weapons of this kind in Great Britain, they wanted to change the trajectory of an asteroid to destroy Petersburg or Kaliningrad. And as for civilian casualties or losses of allies, they didn’t really care, which is typical for the Anglo-Saxons.

[suharev-52]

These developments are necessary. What we consider fiction today will be reality tomorrow. And these developments will be just that basis on which a fundamentally new can appear. And not only in the peaceful, but also in the military sectors. Science has always moved progress, so I would like to wish our scientists success in their work for the benefit of our homeland, Russia and the whole Earth.

[Igarr]

The people, that such cannibalistic thoughts.
An asteroid of 300m diameters - there is a classification ... there are different absorbers, rippers .. still somehow. Now I can’t find it right away.
They are dangerous to the earth, to all people.
Figs would be with her, as in a joke, with Goal .......
And suddenly past - sweep. For in Russia, holy, holy.
It’s very good, it’s very good that ours began to develop far-reaching projects.
It's a good news.


In, I found .. from the Readers Digest, Unsolved secrets of mankind, 2004: .... Local destroyer - up to 50 meters, energy 10 Megatons; Regional destroyer - up to 100M, energy up to 100Mtn; Small absorber - up to 1 km, energy up to 100 000 Mtn; Large absorber - diameter up to 10 km, energy up to 100 million Mtn (this is out to Earth)

[Antoxa]

Nuclear warheads in space. Sounds menacing. (And not just for asteroids )

[sedoj]

Removing platforms with nuclear weapons into space? Sounds ominous.

[predator]

And what about drilling an asteroid, because the charge must be placed in the well.

[Sergh]

predator. yes what for, to cover all this cobblestone with charges, to wrap this stone and a cord with electric tape, set fire to it, well, to wrap yourself around the corner. Che, there is still a rig to drag the rig, so I haven’t got enough of all the towers of the towers.

[916-th]

Drilling, lining with charges, winding with insulating tape, all this takes time, and therefore the beginning of work on the surface of the body at very remote distances, one might say in deep space. This requires interplanetary class technology, which no one on Earth has yet grown up to.

Obviously we are talking about warheads sent from orbit along the take-off trajectory towards the alien using booster blocks. Hence - a decent mass of spacecraft launched into orbit and, accordingly, the need for powerful spacecraft of the Rus-M type. But, unfortunately, the work on this launch vehicle has been frozen since October 2011. I, unfortunately, have not found any info confirming the rumors about the continuation of the work. Who knows, give a link, please.

But putting warheads into orbit (technically this is not a problem) can not be sent towards space wanderers, but left on duty in orbit ... Here you have a ready asymmetric response to the global American missile defense. They hide behind the Iranian threat, we are the asteroid threat. Although both threats are unlikely.

In my opinion, Russia just started a conversation with the United States in a political metalanguage like: "We understand that you understand, that we understand why you are planning all this." And asteroids are the tenth case, as well as the threat from Iran.

[jamert]

But, putting warheads into orbit (technically this is not a problem), you can not send them towards space wanderers, but leave them on duty in orbit ...

Since 1979, the deployment of nuclear weapons in space has been prohibited for both the United States and the USSR (now Russia). And how do you command these warheads to be controlled?

[alex21411]

Great news, I've been thinking about this for a long time, but will it happen??? And here it is!!! Hurray, comrades

[Nymp]

The fact that they are aiming at such programs is good, that means there is financing! At the time of the renegade, E.B.N. We wish you success!

[nokki]

As for space weapons, developments have been, are being, and will be carried out, because we need to work for the future. There were already some good prototypes in Soviet times. And Russia has a terrible geophysical weapon in its "stash", capable of destroying an entire continent. And this is not science fiction! Gorbachev once spoke about this in an interview. He called it extremely inhumane, even terrible. That is why they abandoned it at the time. But it has not disappeared! The Americans simply hope that we, in our kindness, will never use it.

[plotnikov561956]

An electromagnetic weapon was tested, one pulse was enough to discourage the shuttles from making "dives" to Moscow, the crew and equipment took a day to recover. Also mothballed

[vovan100]

in amers, these electric magnetic antennas are many times more powerful, no one, neither we nor they know how this can come around, everyone is afraid to use them. It is possible to cause unpredictable natural phenomena

[abeluk]

I don't know about asteroids, but the new American shuttles that they launch - you need to know how to shoot them down, otherwise they wrote that ours didn't see where they were flying for more than 200 days

[alexey garbuz]

Or I don’t understand something, then let me correct. Of course, a stone in the USA garden is certainly not bad if the earth layers are not moved to the Urals. we see asteroids. when they whistle like bullets at a temple. This is first. Secondly, the damaging factors of a thermonuclear explosion: shock wave, temperature factor and radiation. All this is dangerous on earth and to us, people. An asteroid is very violet. American film music direct He said and showed how the space brotherhood of English-speaking veterans first docked, then drilled and laid, and then reeled up and initiated. So in two and a few hours of movie time, and in fact, this event will take at least six months. And we won’t know in advance. where this fluttered caused and we will not be able to collect a suitcase for such a long trip.

[esaul]

Alexey Garbuz,
As my colleague liked to say: "Well said! Like a tramp!"

[alexey garbuz]

Glad to try your way !!!

[old rocket man]

esaul,
Valera, I expressed my opinion above, in my opinion asteroids are not real

[vovan100]

on this program will probably work out future military space systems. two birds with one stone ....

[protopop avvakum]

The Chinese shot down their own satellite. And when Phobos threatened to fall, there were rumors on the Internet that there was nothing to shoot it down with.

[serg792002]

Is this like our asymmetric response to the missile defense system? Great news.

[vovan100]

Yes, you must admit, and also officially not directed against the United States (no matter how ), let them now try to talk about non-directionality, by the way, the arms race themselves, first of all, oh how they do not need what they think? With their financial situation, then .................

[Volkhov]

This project has not been worked out in any way, is not funded and is not planned, and the United States has already used a small contact charge on Comet Tempel 1 in 2005, the flash was the strongest, even the optics on the base apparatus turned off. After that, NASA announced that "We have the technology to combat asteroids."
It is useful for the inhabitants of the site to look out from the magical world into a reality sparkling with flashes.

[neodymium]

Russia is thinking about humanity and the planet Earth.
We continue what we have begun.
Humanity has always aspired into space.
What is being done for the planet is good, it embodies the dream.
(And some other features )

They only interfere with which they accumulate loot and do absolutely nothing ...
Rat fuss around creation Caliphate 2.
The use of psychological weapons:Media

Therefore, you have to answer:

Russia's military budget has already been revised, Prime Minister Putin has already announced that Russia will receive 100 new intercontinental ballistic missiles, and this is at a time when the West is dreaming of reducing nuclear weapons. Do the Pentagon think that the warheads of the missiles will be equipped with New Year’s sweets and Christmas decorations? According to some sources, over $ 10 trillion will be spent on re-equipment over 1.5 years. Russia has not had such a budget yet.,
http://www.avanturist.org/forum/topic/16/offset/22300
But nicho, Russia together:

[jamert]

Russia will receive 100 new intercontinental ballistic missiles, and this is at a time when the West is dreaming of reducing nuclear weapons.

And after that, the cries that America is the aggressor seem like complete nonsense.

Just elections, so they pull out last year's "news", for which there is nothing ... It is not difficult to understand, even without being in the subject, that a flight to an asteroid is not easier than to Phobos.

[zhidikhanov]

Good day everyone! Dear like-minded people, even if Russia sends "Baba Yaga" in a mortar with a broom into orbit, everyone will know about it and there will be a great reason for our dear and not so neighbors to worry. And this will not be a hero from a Russian folk tale. In my opinion, everything that is being done now and what they plan to produce in the near future is all for our good and the good of our country, Russia. And so I want to see our children happy in the future.
