The founder of the private space company Blue Origin, the creator of the American rocket engine, designed to replace the Russian RD-180, Jeff Bezos announced the success of the first tests.

The first fire tests of our engine BE-4 were successful. The great achievement of the whole Blue Origin team is a very important step!
- wrote Bezos on Twitter.



In the US, reported on the successful testing of an analogue of the Russian engine RD-180


Recall that the previous bench tests of the BE-4 rocket engine, which is analogous to the Russian RD-180, conducted by Blue Origin in May, ended in failure. Earlier, the company said it was creating three BE-4 work samples. ВE-4 is planned to be installed on the Vulcan rocket - replacement of the Atlas V carrier, where the Russian RD-180 are installed. Two single-chamber BE-4, installed on the first stage of Vulcan carrier, together will allow to develop more traction than one Atlas V two-chamber RD-180 of the first stage, the company says.

Aerojet Rocketdyne is also working on replacing the RD-180. Unlike the BE-4, the AR1 engine is suitable for installation on an operating Atlas V rocket. The company has not yet submitted a working model of the unit, however, in early May 2017 conducted fire tests of the AR1 prechamber.

            In fact, it is surprising that the Americans have just achieved at least something. Their technical and financial capabilities are ahead of the rest. And they were able to repeat what they did back in the USSR only now. And two nozzles or three - what difference does it make, engines are compared by their mass, thrust and fuel quantity, and not by the number of nozzles.
            And by the way, the video is beautifully shot.

              A big difference. It is quite difficult to provide high pressure in the combustion chamber, which is why the Soviet school of engine building followed the path of having several combustion chambers in one engine. And there are still doubts about the parameters of the F-1 single-chamber engine - the "Achilles heel" of the entire mattress lunar program, which was suspiciously used only on the Saturn-5 launch vehicle and nowhere else.

              If it weren’t for politics, then good cooperation could be bungled. They do not know how to make good engines for aircraft in the Russian Federation, but in the USA and the rest of the world for missiles, they would exchange them)))
              The United States really didn’t come up with anything really long ago in rocket science. However, like Russia. However, Russia has much more experience and use experience as well. Politics and the stupidity of space officials from Russia are ruining our space achievements and achievements, however, in the USA, too, problems are higher than the roof, although there is no limited money.

          The title is completely wrong. BE-4 is a completely different engine and is not an analogue of the RD-180. BE-4 is much more promising, since the fuel vapor there is oxygen-methane, and not oxygen-kerosene RG-1. Kerosene RG-1 today is already too complicated and expensive to manufacture. The engines on it are the last century. It is no coincidence that the SpaceX Raptor engine makes oxygen-methane, which is the Bezos BE-4. Kerosene RG-1 will soon disappear just as the synthine disappeared in due time, which even we had to ease a manned ship due to the loss of specific impulse when changing fuel. Sintin simply became an extremely expensive fuel, which is now happening with RG-1 kerosene. And the oxygen-methane fuel pair is more promising from the point of view of future opportunities for the production of fuel in space. To produce methane and oxygen is much easier than kerosene.

          “For example, Soyuz rockets, which are made in Samara, now fly on artificially created fuel, because initially only certain grades of oil from specific wells were used to create kerosene for these rockets. Mostly this is oil from the Anastasievo-Troitsky field in the Krasnodar Territory. But oil wells are being depleted, and the kerosene currently used is a mixture of compositions that are extracted from several wells. The coveted brand of RG-1 is obtained through expensive distillation. Experts estimate that the problem of kerosene deficiency will only worsen.

          The concept currently being developed at Energomash envisages the development of a single-chamber engine with a thrust of 200 tons using “liquid oxygen - liquefied methane” fuel for the first stage of a promising light class carrier. Space technology in the near future promises to be reusable. And here one more advantage of methane opens. It is cryogenic, which means that it is enough to heat the engine at least to a temperature of -160 Celsius (or better above) and the engine itself will be freed from fuel components. According to experts, it is most suitable for creating reusable launch vehicles. Here is what the chief designer of NPO Energomash Vladimir Chvanov thinks about methane:

          - The specific impulse of the engine for LNG is high, but this advantage is leveled by the fact that methane fuel has a lower density, so the total is a slight energy advantage. From a structural point of view, methane is attractive. To free up the cavities of the engine, you only need to go through a cycle of evaporation - that is, the engine is easier to get rid of residual products. Due to this, methane fuel is more acceptable from the point of view of creating a reusable engine and a reusable aircraft.

          So why didn’t methane become practically used fuel in Russia? The answer is quite simple. From the beginning of the 80s in the USSR, and then in Russia, not a single new rocket engine was created. All Russian “novelties” are the modernization and renaming of the Soviet heritage. The only honestly created complex - “Angara” - was planned from the very beginning as a kerosene transport. Its alteration will cost a pretty penny. In general, Roscosmos constantly rejects methane projects because it links “good” to at least one such project with “good” to completely restructure the industry from kerosene and heptyl to methane, which is considered a long and expensive undertaking. "

          I hope we have some developments going on too. But nothing is heard of any trials. Apparently, we have nothing in iron.

              It is difficult to produce, and therefore it cannot be cheap. Liquefied gas is much cheaper and easier. Its billions of cubes are produced. What can not be said about kerosene RG-1.
              And RG-1 is not ordinary kerosene. It is rocket fuel with special characteristics. Jet fuel or for lighters - this is not at all the same. If you know what I mean.

                It is unclear where does the oil from a certain field, if kerosene is the first oil cracking product along with the gasoline fraction. From which oil you don’t drive, there will still be kerosene, of course for high-sulfur and paraffin oils you will have to spend more effort, but the kerosene obtained, it is also kerosene in Africa. Another thing is that additives can be added to it.

              Here is a comment under an article about a new fuel pair found:

              “for the use of cryogenic fuel, it is necessary to make rocket tanks made of composite materials. We several times turned to Roskosmos with our best offers on this technology, but we were refused and we were forced to transfer the technology and the formulation to an American company in California”

              There are developments, but they do not reach working samples. Interest in Roskosmos this is not visible.

                However, methane even at a temperature of 91 K (its melting point 90,66 K) has a low density of 455 kg / m3, while the fuel density of methane + oxygen is only 830 kg / m3, which leads to an increase in mass storage costs due to the need to increase the volume of storage tanks components.
                The low density of methane + oxygen fuel and the impossibility of oxygen overcooling when using fuel component storage tanks with combined bottoms lead to the fact that for space RBs the time of possible fuel storage in near-Earth space is significantly (by 20% compared to kerosene + oxygen).
                Since the melting point of methane is higher than the boiling point of oxygen at a pressure of 1 at (i.e., above 90 K), the use of fuel component storage tanks with combined bottoms even for oxygen boiling at 1 at (and even more so when using supercooled oxygen, which boils at lower pressure) is impossible without the use of inter-tank insulation.
                In addition, since the fuel tank is charged with cryogenic methane, it must be insulated from external heat influx, which further increases the mass cost of storing fuel.
                All this leads to a significant increase in the mass and dimensions of methane + oxygen fuel storage tanks compared to kerosene + oxygen fuel, which significantly, and in some cases up to zero, reduces the effect that could be obtained from a higher specific impulse of the prototype.

                And if we add here the infrastructure, more complex than kerosene, for transporting, storing and refueling missiles with methane. This explains why Roscosmos itself does not bathe about methane, but uses time-proven kerosene.

The United States has already managed to send an AMS to all the planets of the solar system and to Ceres. We launched several rovers. We did not fly further than Mars. And if we take Russia, then we could not get beyond the near-Earth orbit. How long will we wait for more ??? In my opinion, it’s not at all “not worried”, although maybe you are right. They are "not worried." They just do not care in Roscosmos. Their personal well-being does not depend on the achievements of the country in space. Missiles are flying and okay.

And for those AMCs, the States use, practically, the forces of the whole world, including ours, and we will have to do it alone! At that time, the USSR had tore its economy down by engaging in expensive scientific programs, including space ones, which did not bring a quick economic effect.

The only reason that justifies the use of methane as rocket fuel is environmental friendliness, but you have to pay for it with a significant reduction in payload. It was still discussed, EMNIP, in the late 80s among rocket scientists. There are no other reasons for using methane and never will be, all the rest is an attempt to cram an idea using methane despite economic inexpediency.

            And here one more advantage of methane opens. It is cryogenic, which means that it is enough to heat the engine at least to a temperature of -160 Celsius (or better above) and the engine itself will be freed from fuel components.
            ...
            Due to this, methane fuel is more acceptable from the point of view of creating a reusable engine and a reusable aircraft.

However, all production is fragmented into many small and small branches, which seem to be independent, however, they are all boiled in one boiler and subordinate to one center, and even receive wages from one office.
              Such a system has its advantages (each department strives to be and is even self-sufficient), however, in some industries and some technological processes it is hardly possible to work in the black.

                The debt of the US federal government is equivalent to dollar savings of internal and external private sectors. The rate of its rise or decline shows the dynamics of the needs of the private sector to invest in dollars.


                The debts of the American government have a credit rating (AA - according to the Standard & Poors classification), since they are denominated in their own currency - US dollars and for this reason do not have credit risk (the US Federal Reserve System (FRS) has the exclusive right to issue dollars and always can formally settle accounts with creditors on completely different debts, which are denominated in their own currency).

        If you want to live - know how to spin - a Russian proverb that calls for being energetic, enterprising.
        The proverb is listed in the Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language Ozhegov S.I., N. Yu. Shvedova, 1992, to the word "spin."
        It entered the Russian language in the second half of the 20th century. It was especially popular in the days of the USSR, when additional earnings (in addition to the main job) could be obtained through additional part-time jobs

          RD-180 is an American engine. Having bought a patent from Russia and having limited it "for himself" through Pratt & Whitney, the engine became American with all the rights to sell.

                Since the goal of the engine program is to launch commercial satellites and satellites of the US government, Pratt & Whitney is considered to be the joint manufacturer of the RD-180 to comply with US legislation. At the moment, all engine production is concentrated in Russia. The sale was carried out by a joint venture between Pratt & Whitney and NPO Energomash called the RD-Amros JV (RD AMROSS). The acquisition and installation were handled by the United Launch Alliance. ”

          Have fun, tell me how the program recalculates some coordinates into others. After all, there are not sizes, but pieces.

            I do not mean documentation processing, but production in the USA according to metric documentation. Change the checkmark in the inch / mm section in the American machine and work on the metric model loaded into the memory without problems.

              Yes you never saw a drawing!
              Except the sizes. conventions adopted in the ESKD system, the drawings contain technical requirements, a lot of links to Standards, Testing Procedures, etc. ..... Further.
              According to the drawings, without technological documentation, no one, no clown can do anything, unless this clown works in a rural forge and the subject of work is a bracket for fastening logs. The volume of technological documentation is several times greater than the volume of design documentation.
              Further. Without tools specially made for production, tooling, molds, dies, broaches and automatic settings .... What about automatic programs? Where are they?
              Why the hell did you get into a conversation when you don't understand anything in this matter? Analogs of materials do they have? Replacement without testing? Crazy.
              And the last.

                It's not about recounting. It's about working in the metric system on American equipment. In the USSR, in general, the American strategic bomber was copied in the late 40s, and before that it was transferred to the metric system of the air defense for several aircraft, having acquired a license for them from the United States. And this is when there was almost no means of automating the process.

And this is when there was almost no means of automating the process.

                  No licenses have been acquired. We took advantage of the emergency landings on our territory for several aircraft, they were simply disassembled and copied. Tupolev was forbidden to use them only as an example, forcing him to copy exactly. Even some bracket in the cockpit was copied, the purpose of which no one knew. Full-fledged drawings were made, according to Soviet standards, as a drawing system (MN SCH, the predecessor of the ESKD), and from Soviet materials, scrupulously selected for similar characteristics. A particular headache was in the organization of the manufacture of thin-sheet duralumin for lining.
                  So the instantaneous organization of the production of other people's constructs using modern equipment is your imagination.

                  You should know one more subtlety - American equipment works in accordance with American standards - in an inch system that is not fully portable to the metric. Adapting it to the metric system is a different story.

                    The USSR acquired in the USA a license for the production of the legendary Douglas DC-3 aircraft before the war, which the USSR called PS-84, and later Li-2. The people called them "Douglas." They were produced in large series from 1940 to 1953, they were operated right up to 1973.

                      Recycle drawings to your standards? To apply their materials by selecting analogues, or having established production that is as similar as possible in terms of characteristics? Yes.
                      I will say more.
                      The first tractors we started producing, having bought American Fordsons. Having disassembled seven tractors to the cog, they took the drawings, measured all the details, compiled the tables, calculated the average values, and on this basis began production of the Fordson-Putilovets. At that time, they did not know either the system of tolerances, landings, the principles of interchangeability, typification, and everything that they had gained over the years.

                  You do not know what you are talking about. No one will ever give all the technical documentation. (By the way, you illiterate call it technological). This underlines your incompetence.
                  For reference: The volume (weight) of the TECHNICAL documentation in one copy on the SU-27 airplane is equal to the weight of the airplane itself. Note that all technical library documentation - standards, instructions, guidance materials, documentation of equipment, stands, instruments, tools, fixtures and so on, is not included in this kit. I would like to look at your physiognomy, holding 10 tons of paper in an unfamiliar language, in which references to documents unknown to you are recorded. And executed according to the rules you are not aware of. Moreover, in such documentation, there are nevertheless references to the fulfillment of the requirements set forth in top secret documents.

                  To call a drawing an international document that everyone understands is a journalistic exhaust. I assure you, you will not understand a damn thing, considering the American assembly drawing for some piece of iron.

                      Read it again, you apparently could not understand the first time. Repeating the above is pointless. There is documentation provided to the buyer. Look at its contents in the operating instructions for your coffee grinder. Or a cell phone.
                      And try to make a copy of these friendly phrases.
                      A form document is transferred to a complex product, in which the rules and terms for changing the oil, tightening the nuts, and so on are recorded. There, of course, are FIGURES of the components in question. Believe me, the First Division very carefully checks the composition of the documentation sent to the side. And reports violations.

                        No, you inattentively read it. The relationship between the amers and Energomash during the development of the RD-180 differed from the relationship between the buyer and seller of the car in the cabin.

          Long ago there were super-cool Shuttles. Died out. Let’s guess why they don’t fly into space today on the Shuttles? winked
          And then it was just like this: "you and the Shuttles did not work out, and here you are obkhayu ..". (The USSR did not make it with the Shuttles). One-to-one as it is now with the Falcons.

            “Let’s guess why they don’t fly into space on the Shuttles now?”
                Guessing is not even necessary. Google must be asked: 
            Why did NASA stop the shuttle program?
              answer:
            Discovery was the first of the three active space shuttles to be retired, completing its final mission on March 9, 2011; Endeavor did so on June 1. The final shuttle mission was completed with the landing of Atlantis on July 21, 2011, closing the 30-year Space Shuttle program.
              Discovery was the first to fly its resource in March 2011 (25 flights), Endeavor in June (33 flights), and Atlantis in July (29 flights). And NASA closed its 30-year program. Although each spacecraft was designed for 100 flights, NASA closed it due to the high cost.

              In fact, in the 20th century it was calculated: the Shuttle will economically outperform Progress and Energy, starting every 2 weeks. On an equal footing - starting at least once a month (well, the rules for replacing blocks, changing fuel, etc.). It wasn’t.
              Those. The "super-efficient" Shuttle just turned out to be more expensive.

              Better, list what is done. Moreover, not in proclamations about ... in the near future, but really. PRE-ORDERED CAR? Two Falcons launched a second time? With an interval of a year. Is it- REPEATED use? Consumers do not need bench tests, but full implementation. Landings of the first stage are absolutely unnecessary for the consumer. This is the collection of scrap metal at the expense of the buyer starts. Let's get a list. Stop talking.

            eklmn "overlooked" the MAIN argument: "that's when Falcon will be FAVORABLE."
            Launching a used spacecraft for the second time is not a trick (see Shuttles), but to make it cheaper than a one-time one is a problem (the same Shuttle).
            About reliability - also "lost sight of" (and again the Shuttles, as an example).

      In order not to be surprised, you need to know.
      Musk did not invent ANYTHING. He bought the designers who lost their jobs after the closure of the lunar program, and picked up reusable Shuttles after the closure. He received patents for free, and hardware left over from NASA programs. He received two starting complexes. He received several billion to develop his "reusable" missile program. He builds financial pyramids, taunting gullible fellow citizens and lobbying his interests through the congressmen hired by him.
      Note- EVERYONE of his next promise is more grandiose than the previous one. From the reusable falcons, usual for carrying capacity, he passes to the promise to build super heavy.
      From passenger electric vehicles to heavy duty trucks. From near-moon flights to near-Martian. From vacuum transport for passengers to vacuum transport for passengers in cars, with transportation from the place of “pick-up” in the car to the vacuum transport corridor at the specified address to the place of disembarkation. From free Internet through 450 of its satellites to free Internet through 1500 of its satellites. From a home storage power station serving an emergency in an apartment to a home power station with electricity being returned to the grid.

    The excellent results obtained at the stand are far from the actual launch of the medium. Do not remember. What ended the two launches of Falcons? Accident Where? In oxygen tanks, in which there were compartments for helium. Interestingly, they stand exactly on the stands, or of a different design? Different.
    What did I want to say?
    The trouble-free operation of the carrier depends on a billion reasons, and not only on the operation of the engines. Incorrectly installed sensor .... Or fastening a completely harmless detail, which does not experience vibration on the stand, in real life can break off and be the cause.

                Great answer. It's not about reliability, but overload. Is it really so difficult to slow down the pace in engines throttled everywhere already and provide the load endured for a person? As it turns out, everything is simple. And the emergency rescue system, and what is more, providing rescue over the entire period from the start of the launch to putting it into orbit? Didn’t you forget about it, or for you man is not a goal, but a means? The mass of the inhabited ship is somewhat different from the cargo. The mass of the descent ship is somewhat different from the cargo. Add up all the components of this and realize that to raise the same 20 tons, but with a person is a completely different cost, and means.

                      And here is the resource and reliability? If for a truck you limit overloads to a level acceptable for people to withdraw, then this leads to a radical decrease in payload. Only ballistics and nothing more. The rescue system fits well with the mass of payloads - they don’t put it on trucks because it doesn’t make sense to bother like that for cargo (if it works, the satellite will go to waste anyway).

        Currently, all production fighters are significantly more expensive than the F-22. Do not look at the price tag. Firstly, all F-35 users continue to pay for improvements and elimination of jambs. Secondly, as I understand it, you also do not take into account the money for its development. The US National Guard chose to order the F-18 instead of the F-35 precisely for price reasons. And yes, the life cycle of all built for the United States will cost 1,5 trillion. dollars. If the F-35 was cheaper than the F-16, then it would have stood in line. In the meantime, the US allies are either abandoning it or drastically cutting down on proposed purchases.

            This price is included in every aircraft built. And the larger the series, the lower these costs in a single product. And the F-35 series is planned in more than 1000 pieces or even 2000.

            You probably do not know that the Pentagon has a budget for promising developments. So, it is spent as a separate article for new projects of wunder-waffles, which kind of should ensure lifelong world domination. So to speak, venture financing. On the F-35 was added more than once or more, and this is tens of billions of dollars each time, because the Pentagon is now held hostage by the manufacturer. The old park is gradually being decommissioned, but there’s nothing to replace properly.
            Previously, plans for rearmament included 2500 aircraft, but the Pentagon is now instead ordering older models or spending on upgrading the existing fleet. There will no longer be 2500, or 2000, or perhaps 1000. The Allies also cut orders. There will be no declared price.
            The US National Guard is not an indicator in the acquisition of weapons.
            We must look at the combat units of the Navy and the ILC.

            Well, of those 2500, a significant part was attributable to NG. The combat units are still looking askance at the "conditionally combat" vehicles and are still wondering how many more "conditionally combat" they need right now.
            Yes, and for the F-16 there is no special queue. Mostly contracts for the modernization of long-built versions.

      The lunar program was announced from the national humiliation of America, which they experienced as a result of the victories of the USSR in space exploration. Nightmare money was invested in the program, these works were given preferences on all floors, THOUSAND firms, firms, and almost workshops for space orders were connected. We must pay tribute - the amazing organizers of the Americans. Wrap up the most complex and global plans. And the ability to achieve. Of course, bottomless financing will help them.
      The long-term work of this armada was successful. I am inclined to think that they, nevertheless, flew to the Moon, although there is another opinion. But this is not what I am talking about.
      Result: The program is completed. The Saturn 5 Carrier has nothing more to do. They lifted Skylab into orbit, a station weighing 80 tons, with one launch, but they could not even use it. They drove there only three expeditions. And in the end, flooded. The mass of firms, firms, workshops went about their usual business. Make money. Equipment, stands, laboratories, equipment, tools were sold. It’s only we who microfilmed the most important products, handing these microfiches into storage funds. It was only in the USSR that it was possible to preserve equipment, leaving it on the balance sheet and paying taxes and depreciation, since it was forbidden to write off it. EVERYTHING belonged to the state. . It is impossible to force a private trader to do this.
      So, very quickly, they lost both documentation, equipment and specialists, rebuilding factories and workshops to produce the required products. So, what they could successfully do THEN, today they do not know how.
      Restore old, materials, equipment, drawings are much more expensive. than to do new on a new basis.
      Thousands of sheets of drawings of the rocket itself turn into millions of sheets of technological processes, drawings of stands, machine tools, equipment, instruments, tools and everything else.

And how is it done - the design documentation is taken, .. it is explained in detail what is done and done there .. all of this is then thrust into Nastran ..

    NPO Energomash respects the development of Blue Origin, but notes that the engine, which should replace the Russian RD-180, must go a long way before it can be used in missiles, said Igor Arbuzov, General Director of NPO Energomash .

    The Americans paid for the supply of engines before the 2019 EMNIP. In any case, over the past couple of years they will finish. Even taking into account the fact that the engine has less thrust than the RD-180 it is methane. And in this case, it is cheaper than hydrogen, although it is slightly inferior to hydrogen in energy and exceeds kerosene
    At least we still do not have such an engine, although work has been going on for 10 years

    I don’t understand one thing, if they have super-duper cool falcons that are also cheap, why are they trying to make new, more expensive rockets?


    The title is completely wrong. BE-4 is a completely different engine and is not an analogue of the RD-180. BE-4 is much more promising, since the fuel vapor there is oxygen-methane, and not oxygen-kerosene RG-1. Kerosene RG-1 today is already too complicated and expensive to manufacture. The engines on it are the last century. It is no coincidence that the SpaceX Raptor engine makes oxygen-methane, which is the Bezos BE-4. Kerosene RG-1 will soon disappear just as the synthine disappeared in due time, which even we had to ease a manned ship due to the loss of specific impulse when changing fuel. Sintin simply became an extremely expensive fuel, which is now happening with RG-1 kerosene. And the oxygen-methane fuel pair is more promising from the point of view of future opportunities for the production of fuel in space. To produce methane and oxygen is much easier than kerosene.

    “For example, Soyuz rockets, which are made in Samara, now fly on artificially created fuel, because initially only certain grades of oil from specific wells were used to create kerosene for these rockets. Mostly this is oil from the Anastasievo-Troitsky field in the Krasnodar Territory. But oil wells are being depleted, and the kerosene currently used is a mixture of compositions that are extracted from several wells. The coveted brand of RG-1 is obtained through expensive distillation. Experts estimate that the problem of kerosene deficiency will only worsen.

    The concept currently being developed at Energomash envisages the development of a single-chamber engine with a thrust of 200 tons using “liquid oxygen - liquefied methane” fuel for the first stage of a promising light class carrier. Space technology in the near future promises to be reusable. And here one more advantage of methane opens. It is cryogenic, which means that it is enough to heat the engine at least to a temperature of -160 Celsius (or better above) and the engine itself will be freed from fuel components. According to experts, it is most suitable for creating reusable launch vehicles. Here is what the chief designer of NPO Energomash Vladimir Chvanov thinks about methane:

    - The specific impulse of the engine for LNG is high, but this advantage is leveled by the fact that methane fuel has a lower density, so the total is a slight energy advantage. From a structural point of view, methane is attractive. To free up the cavities of the engine, you only need to go through a cycle of evaporation - that is, the engine is easier to get rid of residual products. Due to this, methane fuel is more acceptable from the point of view of creating a reusable engine and a reusable aircraft.

    So why didn’t methane become practically used fuel in Russia? The answer is quite simple. From the beginning of the 80s in the USSR, and then in Russia, not a single new rocket engine was created. All Russian “novelties” are the modernization and renaming of the Soviet heritage. The only honestly created complex - “Angara” - was planned from the very beginning as a kerosene transport. Its alteration will cost a pretty penny. In general, Roscosmos constantly rejects methane projects because it links “good” to at least one such project with “good” to completely restructure the industry from kerosene and heptyl to methane, which is considered a long and expensive undertaking. "

    I hope we have some developments going on too. But nothing is heard of any trials. Apparently, we have nothing in iron.

    Great koment. Truthful. Often, Soviet developments are presented as Russian, which is fundamentally wrong.

    Different engines. On different fuels. Accordingly, the methane thrust ratio is unknown, not reported. As well as the specific impulse is carefully hidden.

    Methane fuel has a lower density than kerosene; the tanks are heavier, the rocket has a smaller recoil.

    Output: yes, in terms of traction, this engine can replace the RD-180.
    Whether he will be better is doubtful; especially considering that it is proposed to compare warm with soft.

    And still there is a cost. And then a certain ratio comes into force. The engine is cheap if the costs of its creation are nationalized, and the profit from use is privatized.
    The costs of creating the RD-180 were successfully nationalized in the USSR - as this is half of the Soviet RD-170 engine. Now the cost of this engine is only for its manufacture. According to the Bezos engine, it is alleged that it was created "without the participation of the state." So, the costs of development, testing, certification Bezos must "beat off"at the production stage; transfer part of the costs to the final cost of the engine.

    The new law of capitalism, invented not by Marx but by Obama and Co., will come into force. A totalitarian product is bad, regardless of its value; democratic goods - a priori good. This also applies to gas and rocket engines.

    In a normal competitive economy, the principle will not work - as long as the United States has non-economic advantages, in the form of a dollar, sixth fleet, etc.

    Bezos creates a promising engine, but you can put it on the Atlases only by force, by order of the State Department.

      In the article, part of the information does not correspond to reality, but this is not interesting. The RD-180 engine is not planned for future Russian missiles. At present, the plans include the modernization of the RD-191 engine to the RD-191M version for the Angara-5M launch vehicle, the resumption of production of the modernized RD-171MV engines and the new two-chamber RD0124MS for the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle. Last year, a series of fire tests of the RD0162D2A oxygen-methane engine with a thrust of 40 tons was conducted, and a preliminary design for an oxygen-methane engine with a thrust of 85 tons was also developed.

          In order for the engine with LNG fuel to fly, you need to make a decision to create a carrier for it, the engines themselves do not fly into space). So far, Samara has developed a preliminary project for a carrier with the code name "Soyuz-7" (formerly Soyuz-5.1), here we apply LNG. But then again, until such a carrier is in demand by our space industry. More or less, everything should change with the transition to new carriers designed for heavier payloads at the beginning of the next decade.

              Again, carriers do not fly on their own - they need a payload. For SLS, such a PN, is the construction of a near-moon station, and flights will be rare, what to carry to the Falcon Heavy is a big question. At the same time, the lighter Angara-A5M can also be used to deliver goods to the near-moon station - it will deliver 4-7 tons there, for example, the new Progress or, in the A5V version, 10-ton research modules based on a pressurized compartment NEM. STK is planned for the first launch in 2028, however, the creation of Soyuz-5 will show how long this period will be sustained.

So far, here everything is moving in the right direction. “Proton-L” is being created on Khrunichev by launch in 2019 and there is already a contract for it - thereby reducing the cost of withdrawing payloads at the most popular weight of 5500 kg per GPO until 2025. An advance project is being drawn up for Soyuz-5 (will be presented in November), which will replace it in 2022. And small and microsatellites - the launch companies of Glavkosmos have already begun with the withdrawal of additional payloads in launches of Soyuz-2.

      ... Musk did not invent ANYTHING. He bought the designers who lost their jobs after the closure of the lunar program, and picked up reusable Shuttles after the closure. He received patents for free, and hardware left over from NASA programs. He received two starting complexes. He received several billion to develop his "reusable" missile program. He builds financial pyramids, taunting gullible fellow citizens and lobbying his interests through the congressmen hired by him.

      When you worked as a constructor, you would understand that copying someone else's is a more difficult task than using something that you still don’t know, or what you doubt. To understand someone else's, you need to understand why this is done. It is much simpler to compare what you already know and the hint, as you did another. The constructor from God was pushed, the tyrant and the pithecanthropus from aviation. There can be no greater harm to aviation from this. Borrowing- ALWAYS stay on the sidelines, even if successful. Talent sometimes needs a simple hint, and he leaps into the future. Do not catch up, but get ahead. And for this it is impossible to steer from party and other offices.

          Why so courageous in judgments? Turner has never been a decisive link.
          With all due respect to him. A good turner will certainly appear in five years. Be an interesting job, adequate housing and the prospect of a decent income. It is the perspective in which he will believe. Earning today, and the one that was disqualified in the last century, is not progress, but a brake on updating. A scientist who has the opportunity to realize his dreams. Constructor Technologist. And not the security guard, accountant, lawyer, whom we forged during the years of the damned collapse beyond measure.

    dubovitskiy.1947,
    At the moment, we were discussing why manned ships are not being brought out by trucks. smile

    You argued that there were problems with reliability, I argued that with high overload and load balancing with the LV - I already wrote there above that for heavy trucks overload is acceptable, but for them there simply aren't enough heavy manned ships that would justify the launch of such a colossus. Not yet.
    And so there were plans to use trucks for manned launches, i.e. the main problem with load balancing.

    If we talk about the trials of the new dvigla, then there is nothing to discuss - the Americans will bring it to mind. All the cries of our jingoistic patriots that they say they cannot repeat ... they don’t repeat, they do their own thing. What they did not do before - but there was no need, the RD-180 suited them for the price / quality.

      I have no doubt that they will. Maybe very soon.
      But here are plans from a real achievement, I have been able to distinguish for a long time. You have yet to do it. And when this happens, it is up to you.

        Oh wei .... again this mentoring tone. How do you know what my experience in this area is?

        You have already distinguished Mask's plans from achievements regarding the reuse of the first stage - it turned out silly and funny for you.

          If he had even been in its infancy, they would not have written nonsense.
          They fed me with plans all my life. Therefore, I do not believe anyone, especially if they smell like dough. The result is evaluated.
          The result is three re-launched with a break of one year. Plans - 100 launches with a period of 24 hours.
          Something tells me that before fulfillment it is like to Mongolia on karachik.
          It is much easier to start silent and build new ones, with a new rocket, and with a new object. What is more grandiose? Mars - the passed stage, promised and paid. Forget it.

            Unfinished work is not shown to everyone. For 100 launches, we still need to find customers, so far Musk has confidently pushed Roskosmos into the far corner.

            I'm leaving this site, the moderators here are not adequate.

              Then do not groan with delight, having received intermediate results.
              Which can not be called even intermediate.
              Intermediate is the achieved stage stipulated in the plans. The first stage is three flights of one carrier with an interval of a year, the second is ten with an interval of a month ....
              Landing on the ground or platform without secondary launches is the collection of scrap metal at the expense of the customer.
              These are not the results; this is an ohmurilovka.

      Yeah. Bring to mind YOUR copy of the RD-180. And sho?
      Copying other people's achievements at the cost of wild investments - you will not get ahead.
      The same China easily catches up cheap electronics - there are factories with technologies, there is no need to copy technologies. But with aircraft engines is a problem. There are no factories with ready-made technologies, and their copies have a resource an order of magnitude smaller and with traction also "slightly worse." But everyone around is shouting - "a super-technological country."

        Can you distinguish a copy from an analog? Tu4 is a copy of the B-29, Tu-95 is an analogue of the B-52.

          Yeah. And the 600th Mercedes is an analogue of the Ford T3, for example. laughing
          And in general ALL cars are an analogue of a cart (what’s there, what - four wheels, this means an analogue). laughing
          And what about the “TTX analogue” is a bit “cooler” - it doesn’t matter. The analogue! The wings are similar, the engines too. So arguing, you can quite simply yell: "all modern diesel engines are analogues of the Rudolph Diesel engine." And that TTX "slightly different" - does not count. laughing
