RD-180. About rocket streams of lies

256
I don’t know if anyone noticed or not, but we had another event like “bloody gebni” with mass executions of visitors. From visiting the site was denied to several readers at once who had embarked on the path of spitting on everything they could reach. Half - under the American flag.

But not in the flag of the case, and from among the owners of the Russian tricolor there was a certain amount of fiercely plus.



It was, as the name implies, about the RD-180 engine. And about the little article of intelligent Andrei Shipilov, who, in his libel, posted by former readers in the comments, told the “truth” about this engine.

Well, let's go and dot the Latin letter. To make it clear why "the people suffered."

So, the RD-180 rocket engine - whose is it? Russian or American?

If by Shipilov, then American.

“The times in Russia were hard, I had to dump. But most importantly, Energomash had a good start. In order to get the engine with the necessary characteristics of the Americans, it was only necessary to “halve” the existing engine from the Energia rocket, to make instead of four cameras only two.

As a result, “Energomash” “developed” the necessary engine, which was named RD-180, transferred all rights and all documentation for its production to the Americans, and those, in accordance with the terms of the tender, placed the production of the engine in Russia at Energomash plants, because there there was all the necessary technological equipment. "


As is well known, the best lie is where there is a piece of truth. So is Shipilov, who is ready to do anything, just to spit in the direction of Russia.

"So all American Atlas 5s now have the first stage equipped with the Pratt & Whitney RD-180 engine, which is assembled in Russia."

Let's start with the fact that in order to comply with US legislation, the RD-180 joint manufacturer is indeed considered to be Pratt & Whitney. Shipilov deliberately omitted the word "joint", and I underlined it.

Engine manufacturer - NPO Energomash. And "Pratt & Whitney" does not stand in any way here, since 100% of the engine is assembled in Russia and from Russian materials.

The sale of the RD-180 was carried out by a joint venture between Pratt & Whitney and NPO Energomash, called JV RD-Amros (RD-AMROSS). Sale.

Purchase and installation were made by the United Launch Alliance. This is Boeing + Lockheed. And yes, ULA has the exclusive right to install RD-180 in the USA.

As for the “transfer of all rights and all documentation,” which, according to Shipilov, make the RD-180 an American engine, which is only being assembled in Russia.

We dealt with the rights: РД-180 is an export version, which was created for Atlas and can be operated only on it with the participation of the ULA alliance.

Technical documentation has indeed been transferred. But not because it was “in a hurry for USAE”. As part of the production license valid before 2030, the Americans had every right to release this engine in their country. But they could not.

And this is not the price. Although the price too. The point is in the standards (there is probably no need to explain the difference) in force in countries. Even the threads are different. The point is in the materials.

All these arguments in favor of the poor about the fact that "in the US there is everything, just to buy in poor Russia is cheaper," is overboard. A dollar bet is a good move, I don’t argue. However, why then, despite McCain’s howls and the senator’s demands, urgently send RD-180 to the landfill stories and equip the rocket "their" engines did not work?

And there is nothing. And the point.

And 21 has already passed a year since the moment of the conclusion of the contract, but they have not yet created their own LRE in the USA. Still unprofitable? Even with all the documentation?

Or maybe because, in accordance with the Soviet canons, we make rocket technology all over the country? Yes, a complete assembly is made at NPO Energomash. And the combustion chambers are supplied from Samara, special steel comes from Chelyabinsk.

Is Samara in Oklahoma? Is Chelyabinsk in Idaho? And this is also a Pratt & Whitney company? Apparently not. And this is the very stone that prevented the Americans from simply starting to make the RD-180 themselves.

Those who hate our country will, of course, begin to speak on the topic that "everyone can do there, they just don’t want to." Even as they want. But they can not. The Chinese would also be happy to sell their copies of the Sushka, and they would buy them from them. But the turbines could not be a mess.

It's all the same here.

The Americans have their own LRE, and they use them. Not often, but used. The same Delta-4. Because again, the issue price / quality.

So why RD-180 could not be recreated in American factories? Americans can't do anything with a combustion chamber. This is the main achievement of the Russian technology. In one such chamber with a diameter of just 380, millimeters burns about 600 kg of fuel per second.

This camera is a unique equipment with special protection belts from powerful heat flows. Protection is carried out not only due to external cooling of the chamber walls, but also due to the original method of “lining” the fuel film on them, which, evaporating, cools the wall.

And Shipilov says that for the production of such engines it is necessary to recreate outdated technologies. Well, well ... We work out the "lick" in full.

“RD-180 is a very good engine, but it is already very outdated, for its production it will be necessary to revive technologies that have been abandoned all over the world for a long time. Science and technology are not standing still, and in the USA there are a lot of companies that can do what is required, much better, much faster and most importantly - already much cheaper compared to Energomash.

What can I say? Applause. It turns out that the whole world has gone so far in its development that for the production of rocket engines it is even necessary to revive outdated technologies. I wonder how?

This is how I basically understand that at the 21 factory of the century it is quite possible to manufacture cars of the middle of the 20. But not the other way around. At VAZ in 1980, to assemble "Kalina" is unlikely. And then about the same situation.

What ancient technologies would have to be revived in order to adjust the release of the RD-180 in the USA - this is a mystery covered in darkness.

Well, the epic final from Shipilov:

“In short, it turned out that the RD-180 is no longer needed.

Therefore, General Dynamic held a new tender, which was won by two US companies. United Launch Services, which, starting from 2019, will begin to supply the Vulcan BE-4 engine, which will replace the RD-180. And Aerojet Rocketdyne, which will develop the next generation of fundamentally new engines, which in turn will replace the Vulcan BE-4.

Well, to make it clear what happened, I will mention only one detail - the entire contract with United Launch Services costs 46 million dollars - this is the cost of only five RD-180.

And the US Congress, in order to insure itself and create a reserve for the transitional period, allowed Energomash to release more 18 units RD-180. The latest RD-180 in history. "


Great, huh? The US Congress allowed Energomash ... Well, well.

Although what else can you expect from a hypocrite and a liar based in Cyprus?

It would be very curious, apart from unfounded arguments, to see at least one link (it does not matter in what language) where it would be told about the ownership of the Pratt & Whitney company on the RD-180 engine. And about the PERMISSION from the US Congress for Energomash.

Summary:

1. Since the United States actually screwed up with the production of liquid-propellant engines, Pratt & Whitney bought the right to use Russian RD-180s in the United States.

2. American firms have also purchased the right to manufacture RD-180 in the United States. We look at section 1 and we understand that we screwed up two times.

3. The RD-180 engine was developed by Russian engineers based on the Soviet RD-170 engine.

4. RD-180 produced exclusively in Russia, Russian hands and from Russian materials. The only material that the United States provides is the dollars for which the RD-180 is produced.

5. From points 3 and 4 it follows that this is a Russian engine. The USA in general and Pratt & Whitney in particular can go through the forest with their rights in relation to the RD-180, if only because the next generation of engines has already been developed.

6. In the United States today, titanic efforts are being made to get away from Russian dependence in middle starts.
Blue Origin introduced the new engine, BE-4, which is expected to replace the RD-180 with 2020 of the year.

The key word is presumed. If it works as it should - we'll see.

ULA announced the successful promotion of work on the creation of analogue RD-180.

No question, even 13 years of quiet work, maybe that will burn out. Production of two nodes have already mastered, well done.

Aerojet Rocketdyne conducted the first fire tests of the prechambers of its AR1 engine.

The pre-chamber is not the entire engine.

In general, of course, the Americans will create their own liquid-propellant rocket engine on methane or kerosene. The whole question is how soon.

It is doubtful that a 5 unit of RD-180 units is a panacea. And what's more, we know how in America everything is going up closer to the final. Proved by "Raptor" and "Lightning".

So let's see how it all comes true.

Returning to the beginning. Dear lovers of quotes and applause for foreign residents spitting in the direction of Russia! You were mistaken, this is somewhat not the place where you can do this. And you do not belong here, alas.

We are still able to defend what was created in our country by the minds and hands of our compatriots. And with a crash to throw out those who want to humiliate everything Soviet and Russian. Reasonable discussion and criticism is normal, quoting spikes are moveton. As well as attempts to prove to us the primordial wretchedness and secondary importance.

Take note, gentlemen. Comrades can not worry.

              The main thing for the Anglo-Saxons, who have lived their entire history at the expense of parasitization on other peoples, is to prove that they are the best, the very first in everything, and therefore have the legal right to parasitize on other peoples. Therefore, no country in the world, in their view, has the right to be ahead of the Anglo-Saxons.

          Poor Americans! How did they pull the RS-25 in the 1970s?

          This year, the United States launched 6 Atlases-5 against 15 native American Falcons-9 and 1 Delta-4. The entire Roskosmos launched 15 rockets, catching up with the same "American Chubais." From the fact that the "patriots" will be scribbling articles about what a wonderful and unique RD-180 these figures will not change in any way.

              The truth is 100 percent. The Anglo-Saxons always lived off parasites on other nations, robbing colonies, slave labor ... In the USA in 1953 a black woman was sent to prison, who did not give up her seat on the bus to the white lady ... And, to justify this innate parasitism, this Anglo-Saxon need living at the expense of others, they came up with the idea that they were the best in everything, and absolutely all the scientific and technical achievements were made precisely by the Anglo-Saxons, and the very USSR stole it from them. However, the United States flew into space only 10 years after the flight of Gagarin. They also lied to the whole world that they had visited the Moon, and all this for the sake of a sense of racial superiority, that the Anglo-Saxon race is the highest, and should rule the world. Russia's best rocket engines in the world do not fit into this scheme. And they are the best, because they are technologically advanced in production, reliable, cheap. High-tech.
              It is a pity that the leadership of the CPSU sold and betrayed the peoples of the USSR. Instead of the expected collapse of the capitalist countries, they destroyed their own country, and this, minus the Soviet Union, could not cope with such a disaster.

      All according to the classics: "And Shipilov who joined them"


      The confrontation between the US and Russia is in the way. The world and the economy have become global. It was easier for the United States to buy from us while politics allowed. Recent years does not allow and what do we see? They firmly set about developing not just one, but a whole line of their own engines (Irojet AR-1 makes kerosene, Bezos-BE-4 for LNG and Mask-Raptor also for LNG) of various manned ships (Starliner, Orion and Dregon V2), plus superheavy the carrier is SLS. Engines and ships are already in the iron and are successfully tested. You can say for a long time and persistently what a good engine we have, but who will need it when the US starts using its own ???

        It’s better not to mention about Mask at all: until the government finances completely (and with a slide) his next “project”, he (Musk) will only publish brochures.
        Blue Origin with a methane-oxygen engine has been tinkering for more than a decade, and not from the moment when it got bogged down with politics. If in ten years the BE-4 will be ready for operation, then for it it will also be necessary to make a completely NEW ROCKET! Liquid methane is not kerosene or hydrogen !!! Plus, it will be necessary to block a completely new launch pad with a new infrastructure. Prototypes of methane-oxygen engines in Russia have existed for thirty years ...
        For SLS, no new engines were made - they will use the old engines from the Shuttles.
        Here Aerodzhet trying to tear Russian technology ... How many years have been trying ... Skoko-skoko?
        So when will the US start using its own? "Well, I couldn’t" ...
        By the way ...
        SLS and Orion are moving neither shakily nor swiftly. Well, that’s right: the lunar and, especially, the Martian manned programs are throwing an insane amount of money !!! Russian Roscosmos bouncing pokes a finger toward the Americans and draws sketches of "rocket caravans." It’s good that they don’t give him money under the lunar-Martian idiocy.

                  Major programs are known. Of the total cost is comparable to the cost of the bridge to the Crimea (it seems less, but I could be wrong). At the same time, not promises to make the Angara are bought from Mask, but specific services (launches) that always competed with the offers of other market participants (Atlas from ULA, the government-military Delta, Antares). Consequently, their price for government customers is not overpriced. 18 launches of the existing Atlas, for example, would cost from $ 2 to 4 billion, depending on additional Wishlist.

          And here it is not necessary. Blue Origin really messes with the engine for 10 years. BUT! BE-4 - conversion of hydrogen BE-3 to methane. They have differences, but the main similarity is that they are both cryogenic, and methane has an operating temperature of 90-110 degrees higher. And this simplifies the ground operation of fuel, and reduces the cost of maintenance of storage facilities, and facilitates the design of missiles, etc. That's just the methane's stoichiometric ratio is different (lower) and the density is lower, due to which significantly larger fuel tanks will have to be made. And he gives less impulse, and significantly. According to my calculations it was - 15-18 percent. I won’t say anything about cravings - I didn’t expect it.
          The Blue Origin rocket can also be remade for this engine. At the very least, they plan to install the BE-4 on their normally flying New Glenn. Installation is quite possible, because Now there are BE-3U, and the dimensions of BE-4 are comparable to BE-3. And they already have a launch pad, they rent one of the tables on Cape Canaveral. So these guys can do it all.

          I wonder if they can do it again? If so, then respect. But rather - no, maximum - heavily redesigned for modern components. But it is time and means. There are enough funds, but time is already running out.

            "BE-4 - conversion of hydrogen BE-3 to methane."
            Wow "alteration"! A fivefold increase in traction and a change in fuel are planned! Remaking ...
            Then you have a completely indescribable mixture of kerosene, hydrogen and methane. He’s already squandering your brains ... To make it easier for you to carry out your “impulse calculations” I’ll show how quickly offhand you can compare the specific impulse of different types of fuel: when burning in oxygen, the average molecular weight of the products of hydrogen combustion = 18 (Н2О), for methane = 27 (( СО2 + 2хН2О) / 3), for kerosene = 31 (СО2 + Н2О). The specific impulse of a rocket engine is inversely proportional to the molecular weight of the combustion products. But in general, you don’t need to calculate anything yourself - there are comparative tables of the characteristics of all engines. They are easily available online.
            A few quotes from the Blue Origin website for dessert.
            "The BE-4 engine will be used on our New Glenn family of launch vehicles. The first stage will use seven BE-4 engines and the second stage will use a single BE-4 engine."
            "We've built a new facility dedicated solely to testing the BE-4. We're testing components, including the subscale oxygen-rich preburner, staged combustion of the preburner, and main injector assembly. Powerpack testing of the turbopumps and main valves is underway, as is staged combustion testing of the subscale oxygen-rich preburner and main injector assembly. Preparations for full engine testing are underway. "

        The United States will certainly create both its engines and its spacecraft. Their economy has always been larger than the USSR, and especially Russia.

        I agree with andrewkor, the Indians are still passengers. They themselves can’t create anything worthwhile and outstanding (well, at least by some parameters). And everything is the same there - they don’t like the Su-57, and they don’t like the T-90, and their Su-30 falls, and generally does not dig. But in terms of knocking out discounts and other similar nishtyaks to their beloved ones, they are masters.
        By the way, the Turks do the same. We’ll either buy C-400, or we’ll buy it, then give them the technology, otherwise we won’t buy it or take our tomatoes.

The United States and any country will not send such an expensive airplane, but a battle, with the probability of its loss being close to 5% even if 100 missiles are past, the third will also be available from an economic point of view, all shots were immediately paid off with this victory, planes like a rocket cannot be quickly made.

      The Indian arms market is very, very original. A lot of money is spinning there, therefore no sentiment. Corruption, lobbying interests, companies in the media (like ours, against Iveco - Lynx). They even manage to use the fight against corruption to promote their product (as the Americans did against the Israelis to promote the M777 British-American super-expensive howitzers)
      Horror, in short.
      And all this is superimposed on a very strange attitude of the Indians themselves. For example, it’s quite normal for them to dismantle the car kit received for the “screwdriver assembly”, having removed the components and assemblies for installation on aircraft already delivered to the troops instead of the faulty ones.

                      Due to the unstable operation of the RD-105 and the rupture of the camera, the engineers made many small cameras and called the RD-107.

                      And it was back in 1953.

                      Engineers could not make an engine with 1 controlled camera and made a bunch of small engines in the assembly and named it RD-107.

                      Or is it nonsense too ?!

              3. For a flight to Mars, it is necessary to provide a large cargo flow into the Earth’s orbit.
              4. Clause 3 requires a significant reduction in the cost of putting goods into orbit. This is only possible with reusable systems.
              5. To return to Earth the return stages of launch vehicles, Musk chose a reactive landing method (see paragraph 2).
              6. One powerful RD-180 engine cannot provide the necessary degree of throttle thrust for reactive landing of an empty first stage.
              7. To create a reusable booster rocket with a jet thrust, Musk chose several (nine) simple and reliable (like a soldier’s boot) engines, instead of one powerful engine (see paragraphs 4, 5 and 6)
              That is why

And everything seems clear! And a couple of articles in open foreign scientific journals, where all this technology is described in detail, is available, but DOES NOT GO !!! They have been tormented for more than half a year - NOT GOING and that’s it! Until quite by chance we came across one curious effect. They began to study it - and everything went "like clockwork" !!! So, it’s enough to “remain silent” about some small detail - AND EVERYTHING is a “kirdyk” ... This is the first!

      This is a difficult game. Could? Very unsure. Not because the Americans are stupid, but since they have their own system for producing rocket engines that developed along their own paths, then to master something third-party, you must really try and invest.
      As an example, during the years of the US Navy, the country where engine building was one of the best in the world, wanted to build British-made Merlins. When, with the complete transfer of technology, it continued to fail, it was necessary to call on British personnel who produced and trained local personnel.

    I have not seen the original article, but I can easily understand the indignation of the author of this.

    I’d like to add the following to the text above: "outdated"The RD-180 is actually an engine that is practically in its class that cannot be surpassed for physical reasons. No one can, and even more so an amer. The efficiency indicators given by a rocket engine depend on the pressure level in the combustion chamber. At the same time, it reads that the practical limit pressure of 250-300 atmospheres, into which plug the RD-180 gets. Why practical? And maybe to increase it further? Because the graph of the dependence of the specific impulse on the pressure in the combustion chamber in the region of the indicated pressures becomes almost horizontal. , and the specific impulse will increase by units. At the same time, it is even intuitively clear that pressure increase is an increase in the mass of the engine. At the same time, the walls can’t just be made thicker - the cooling parameters will go awry; one curtain cooling is not enough. In addition, the mass increase is deterioration of the thrust-to-weight ratio of the engine, for the same thrust more weight of the structure.This indicator is important.

    Have what? If the United States spends 100500 billion greens, they will probably be able to create some kind of analogue of the RD-180. Maybe even + 1-3 units of specific impulse. But they will never be able to make the best engine in terms of the totality of parameters, regardless of any money or brainstorming.

    BE-4 is a thing in itself; let's see what will be the output - especially in terms of price and reliability.

      Well, we have a guy (I would like to say a genius, I'm afraid to jinx it), who suggested changing the parameters of the flowing jet by introducing a nozzle into the nozzle, which increases the efficiency of the nozzle itself. At the prototype level, the idea works. Curious to see the results when scaling.

Vague doubts torment me that the technological "superiority" of the West is, frankly, blown. There are some among us (those who judge the level of progress, judged by iPhones) who say that all this is nonsense, the United States is a great technological power, and Russian engines are bought because they are cheaper.

    In response to Shipilov’s illiterate note, a thunderstorm IN Skomorokhov broke out in an equally illiterate article.
    1. Whose RD-180. I do not know (too lazy to look for) the details of the contract with Energoash with PV, but the following is known:
    a) no Russian missiles exist and are not being designed for this - the best of the kerosene - engine. Shipilov is right about this.
    b) RD-180 is superior to RD-170 in terms of thrust to the nozzle and UI, and fundamentally superior to RD-171 in accident statistics - the RD-180 simply does not have them. The merit is PV or Lockheed I do not know, but judging by the rest of the engines, not Energomash.
    2. The Americans could not. Of course they couldn’t, because the RD-180 was not made in the garage, but remained an inheritance from Energy. It would be madness to repeat all this in the USA, especially since the Americans had exactly the same inheritance from the Shuttle - RS-68. No one in their right mind would develop such a thing from scratch, but since he was already with Rocketdayne, why not.
    3. Americans can’t. The Americans, in addition to the Atlas, have two of their heavy missiles. Two more heavy and three superheavy ones are in development. In recent years, Americans have made heavy rockets as scalded, it is already some kind of national sport.
    Including three new rocket engines are being made. Two of them are already on fire tests.
    Previously, Americans were not very worried about rocket engines, since in the 70s they went into solid propellant rocket engines and hydrogen. But now, with the advent of commercial space exploration, rocket engines have become relevant again. I repeat, liquid propellant rocket engines have become relevant for merchants, and NASA with DOD is quite satisfied with hydrogen / solid propellant rocket propulsion.
    3.1 Americans cannot. The Americans made two EELVs, not one. Both took off. Disappear tomorrow by the pike, everything RD-180 - YULA will notice, but America - no. Responsible launches will go to Delta, checkpoints - to Falcon. Even for the money will be about one to one.
    4. McCain is angry. McCain is a politician of the patriotic genre. It’s just for him to give taxpayers' money (and what money - from the budget of DOD!) To Russians. And it can be understood, I think. Import substitution, that’s all.

      Hydrogen was considered promising in the 60s of the last century. Since its supporters believed that the complexity and cost of structures and infrastructure associated with its use, designers and operators can minimize.
      Later in practice it turned out that this does not work, but since you can’t quickly turn off the bureaucratic and PR-media rails, we decided to turn out in two ways:
      1. To create, to the absurdity, the dear freak Delta Heavy, but to justify its existence by terribly secret military applications - do not care, the illiterate authorities at the top will be satisfied with these mantras.
      2. Attach solid propellant crutches to the hydrogen imperfection.
      Call them accelerators, to mask the impossibility of creating (at reasonable prices and timing) a fully hydrogen launch vehicle (even the shuttle was originally thought to be completely hydrogen)
      Thus, create an illusion among the authorities and the illiterate public that this is only
      a slight refinement. - of the type that can be handled without a fundamental alteration of the hydrogen carrier structure.
      As a result, we get a miserable, flawed, expensive shuttle that still had to be thrown into the trash despite monstrous image losses,
      and other freaks like the SLS projected from the components of the same shuttle.
      The hydrogen-rttt pair is the worst thing to do in the pH - they do not compensate for each other's shortcomings, but only increase the high cost and / or unreliability. The launch vehicle remains large and complex in terms of infrastructure and operation (due to hydrogen) and expensive (due to both).
      Even in such a fashionable ecology - all the purity of hydrogen is more than blocked by an absolutely monstrous exhaust from solid propellant rocket engines.

        As for the economy, the heavy is quite comparable with Arian-5, given that Arian launches a heavy + light satellite at a time, and Heavy is capable of launching 2 heavy ones. That is, it could have been possible if it had not been for the position of the American military, who do not want to bother with this business of yours. This is the 600th Mercedes among missiles.

The volcano will use boosters + rocket engines, NGL - boosters + solid propellant rocket engines, Arian-6 and SLS - boosters + hydrogen. The booster-free scheme so far is supposed to use Musk and Bezos.
        The scheme is attractive in that low-pulse solid propellant rocket propel the rocket out of the atmosphere, and high-pulse hydrogen engines form an orbit. Technically, it is very elegant. In economics, yes, there are questions. More precisely, they appeared thanks to SpaceX.

    Well, this is precisely the example of consciously distorting a part of information for the manipulation of consciousness by an inexperienced reader, who is ready to take a word and who is too lazy to do a little searching and reading information. In fact, Mr. Shipilov simply substitutes concepts - such as once the US patent, then the rights to these developments belong to the States. However, it is not difficult to google or find all these patent numbers on the website of the US Patent Office. And here a very interesting thing will be revealed - in all patents the right holder specifies none other than Energomash! Moreover, if you track the history of the patent and its ownership (the patent office website allows it), it turns out that the patents have only one (the first and only) right holder - Energomash and the rights to the patents have not been transferred to anyone. In addition, all of these US patents are preceded by Russian patents registered earlier in time. The conclusion is simple - Energomash simply registered all his developments with the American Patent Bureau, so that unscrupulous "partners" would not snitch them away .. they did not trust the campaign too much. But from this registration of the development did not become American property, because patents clearly indicate the copyright holder.

    Is Samara in Oklahoma? Is Chelyabinsk in Idaho? And this is also a Pratt & Whitney company? Apparently not. And this is the very stone that prevented the Americans from simply starting to make the RD-180 themselves.
    Those who hate our country will, of course, begin to speak on the topic that "everyone can do there, they just don’t want to." Even as they want. But they can not. The Chinese would also be happy to sell their copies of the Sushka, and they would buy them from them. But the turbines could not be a mess.


    RD-180 is really not expensive.
    The development of a new engine, which means costs associated with this, should lie at the cost of the entire series, say for 10 years. This means that an American engine with similar characteristics will cost 40-50% more for the US budget.
    It is not rational to repeat the RD-180, due to different nomenclatures of materials and their characteristics - it is easier to develop a new engine according to the local documentation (what has already been done and the engine is in the process of fire tests).
    "... The Americans thought that they would start working with us, and in four years they would take our technology and reproduce it themselves. I immediately told them: you will spend more than a billion dollars and ten years. Four years have passed, and they say: yes "Six years have passed. Another years have passed, they say: another eight years have passed. Seventeen years have passed, and they have not reproduced a single engine. Now they only need billions of dollars for bench equipment for this," he said back in 2012. the creator of the RD-180 engine, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Boris Katorgin ". https://lenta.ru/articles/2017/05/17/rd180/

    But the Americans are developing and some samples are already undergoing fire tests:
    Currently, the American Blue Origin and Aerojet Rocketdyne are creating a replacement for the Russian RD-180 engine. The companies compete with each other, each plans to certify its unit no later than 2019. Young Blue Origin presented a working sample of BE-4 (Blue Engine-4) in March, but bench tests conducted in May were unsuccessful. The Aerojet Rocketdyne, which created the engines for the American lunar rocket and time-tested, seems to be lagging behind: only in May did it carry out the first fire tests of the precamera of the AR1 unit

    Well, about the fact that the Chinese could not "tear" the turbines - they mastered the technology of growing turbine single-crystal blades and the resource of the turbines is already approaching the original.
    The world does not stand still - everything is developing.

    If any process parameter is not set correctly, the result will be unpredictable. Figuratively speaking, it is possible to observe the composition of Damascus steel up to thousandths of a percent, but it is worthwhile to make a mistake in the forging temperature by five degrees and in the force of impact when forging a bundle of metal rods (I'm not talking about the sequence of forging packages) and the output instead of the blade is a nail. Yes, alloyed, beautiful, but not with the characteristics and capabilities that we expected. It is the exact observance of the entire technological process that allows you to get the expected result. I doubt, however, that they would sell ALL technology to the mattress.

    Probably there is some kind of agreement with P & W, and there it is necessary to look at who owns the rights to the engine. Moreover, there is a joint venture.

    Summary:

    what is it about (in the article)? and who is Andrei Shipilov-xs!
    1 and 2 answer was not given by Shipilov, but by academician Boris Katorgin (one of the creators of RD-180, TNA in particular)

    Question: - Why Americans, having received the right to reproduce RD-180, can not do it for many years?

    Katorgin, Boris Ivanovich - Americans very pragmatic. In the 1990's, at the very beginning of working with us, they realized that in the energy field we were far ahead of them and we needed to adopt these technologies. For example, our RD-170 engine in one start due to a larger specific impulse could take out payload two tons more than their most powerful F-1, which meant at that time 20 millions of dollars in gain. They announced a competition for 400 tons of thrust engine for their Atlases, which our RD-180 won. Then the Americans thought they would start working with us, and in four years we’ll take our technologies and reproduce them ourselves. I immediately told them: you will spend more than a billion dollars and ten years. Four years have passed, and they say: yes, it takes six years. Years passed, they say: no, we need another eight years. Seventeen years have passed, and they have not reproduced a single engine. They are now only on the stand equipment for this need billions of dollars. We at Energomash have stands where the same RD-170 engine can be tested in the pressure chamber, the jet power of which reaches 27 million kilowatts.

    3. Yes, on American money.
    However, like all the other LRE Russia.
    Based on the USSR LPRE

    Katorgin solved the problem of suppressing high-frequency combustion instability due to the development of antipulsation walls in the same combustion chamber
    and thanks to this we have a lineup based on RD-170
    4. It is made strange.
    Verification of the RF SP showed that in 2008-2009gg. the enterprise’s activity was unprofitable moreover, the main share of the loss was work on the implementation of RD-180 and RD-171М.

    "In this regard, only in 2008-2009gg. Loss from their sales amounted to about 880 million rubles, or almost 68% of all losses of Energomash during this period,"
    - noted in the materials of the Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation.
    If you translate into household:
    The Accounts Chamber of the Russian Federation revealed that the Energomash enterprise was selling Russian RD-180 rocket engines for the US Atlas-5 launch vehicles for half the cost of their production.
    All this is strange and confirmation of the RD-191 (half RD-180, quarter RD-171).

    RD 191 standing on the "armament" of the Angara RN, in relative prices, is considered one of the most expensive kerosene LPR in the world - 36 000 $ / ton (250 million rubles). / on 2014 /
    / a would have cost 60% of RD-180, i.e. 10 mil $ * 60% = 6mil. $. however, WORTH, WHY THAT, FOR 9 MIL $ - in 2014 prices.
    So the RF SP is right?
    The most "cheap" closed-cycle engine can be considered LRE XK NUMX-33. On condition that production is restored, the price of the 1-33 NK modification for the new 1-2 Union PH can be up to 3 25 $ / ton (000 million $). / on 4,5 /
    1 - Gas generator; 2 - Turbine; 3 - Fuel supply (kerosene); 4 - Oxidant supply (oxygen); 5 - Fuel Pump; 6 - Oxidizer Pump; 7 - Removal of part of the fuel to cool the nozzle; 8 - Removal of gas / fuel / oxidizer gas generator mixture from the turbine to the combustion chamber; 9 - Transfer the oxidizer to the gas generator


    5. Can not
    RD-180 we can not use for themselves

    therefore, they were also wise with the RD-180M: no one in their right mind would sculpt a new LRE (analogous to the RD-180) having both the technology and the "rights"
    RD-180 with a 400 ton load is two times smaller than a 170 RD with 800 ton load. In the RD-191, designed for our new Angara missile, the thrust is 200 tons. What do these engines have in common? All of them have one turbopump each, but the RD-170 has four combustion chambers, the “American” RD-180 has two chambers, and the RD-191 has one. Each engine needs its own turbopump unit - because if a four-chamber RD-170 consumes about 2,5 tons of fuel per second, for which a 180 turbine pump of thousands of kilowatts was developed, for example, more than twice the capacity of the reactor of the Arktika atomic icebreaker, then the two-chamber RD-180 is only half, 1,2 tons.
    The combustion chamber on all these engines is the same (almost), only their number is different.
    In one such chamber with a diameter of just 380, millimeters burns a little more than 0,6 tons of fuel per second

NASA's recent conclusion, “Justification for another than a full and open tender” for the purchase of additional Shuttle-Shuttle engines, says that a traditional engine development program will cost over 2,2 billion dollars.
    Blue BE-4 will provide a higher thrust - 1,1 million pounds against 860 000 pounds sterling for RD-180, which increases payload and eliminates side steps with an RDTTL cost of more than 10 million dollars in a single launch for comparable missions.

      I will support the quote. An article about cheers. But we must write about the facts that take place. RD-180 is not used in Russian carriers. Instead, the stub RD-191 is used. Those. instead of a normal URM with a thrust of 360 tons, we have a very "environmentally friendly" missile that performs unclear what tasks.
      Regarding the Mask and Bezos - they will finish their moves, only for a long time it will be. Especially the Mask according to the scheme with full gasification. No one has made such serial engines, only the USSR in its RD-270 for the unflown UR-700 and the USA in the experimental engine.

        For the carrier Rus-M, it was supposed to use exactly RD-180, and RD-180M as such does not exist. In general, the RD-180 is not peculiar to the Russian rocket engine, in fact it is the only asymmetric liquid propellant rocket engine, all engines are either single-chamber type RD-190, or four-chamber type RD-170, such arrangements with symmetrical nozzle arrangement are in all respects rational. Of course, they sucked it into the Americans, it still surprises, how?))) But like all two-chamber cameras, for those who think it is, in principle, unpromising.

          The scientific and production organization Energomash stopped working on the engine for the Rus-M rocket. According to Interfax with reference to the executive director of the enterprise, Vladimir Solntsev, this decision is due to the fact that earlier Roskosmos abandoned the rocket itself.
          Engines for Rus-M were designed on the basis of RD-180 engines. These are export engines supplied to the United States for use in Atlas missiles: despite the fact that they are formally sold by the joint venture NPO Energomash and Pratt & Whitney, the RD-180 is entirely produced in Russia. According to Solntsev, the designers have already completed the stages of preliminary and technical design of the new engine, however, due to the inability to use them anywhere other than in the Rus-M rocket, the work had to be curtailed.

          If someone had mastered the Mask report in Guadalajara before “disassembling it for parts”, he would have known that the Raptor with the gas-gas scheme (FFSCC in American terminology) has been running the AIS for a long time (I hope the decoding of this abbreviation is not required for space observers?) .

            Do not quibble. Yes, the Raptor has already worked at the stand for 1200 seconds, of which 100 in a row. But this does not mean that he will ever fly. For the most offensive reason: the best engine in history is now completely unnecessary. SpaceX need now cease finish the rocket all the time, finalize the design and start collecting accident statistics. While it is much worse than his competitors. That is, he will receive satellites for 200-500 million, and some kind of James Webb for $ 5 billion - in no case.

                Two total payload losses. One partial loss of payload. For commercial astronautics it’s normal, but for super-satellites and manned early to declare, because the Americans have missiles and more reliable. Both EELVs did not lose load even once in 99 starts. Twice there was an underfill of orbital speed due to the work of the second stage. Once (from Atlas) the satellites reached out on their own, the second time (from Delta) a blank flew in a test launch.
                The industry-standard reliability standard for critical starts, set by EELV and Arian, is now incredibly high. The commercial standard that Proton set at the beginning of the work of Mask was incomparably lower.
                In favor of the Mask says that he runs the most. So accident-free statistics are generated relatively quickly.

That’s how GPS went to Mask. ULA is now servicing contracts concluded prior to SpaceX’s admission to the military and launches what Falcon-9 cannot physically fulfill (for example, direct withdrawal of 10-ton fools to GSO for SPRN).

      Blue BE-4 Blue Origin does not require a single taxpayer dollar.
      Its development is fully paid by the private sector; it does not require state funding for research and development.

      It is true, but not all. The US budget does not finance BE, but still throws money for a rocket under it (Volcano). Competing engines - from Aerodzhet and from SpaceX - are developed in the same way with the financial participation of the military (in the first case determining, in the second - minority). Moreover, the future of the Aerogeta is causing the greatest doubts.
      So the Americans took up import substitution without joking.

    BE-4 = 173t.s.
    RS-25 = 187t.s
    WHEN AT RD-180 = 390,2 t.s.
    If the United States creates its new Engines, they will need at least TWO PIECES FOR 1 and the same missile launch.

    But you might think that the RD-180 also consists of two small "engines" (nozzles), i.e. 2 new kihs are almost equal to 1 RD-180, But that's not quite true.
    The diameter of 1 BE-4 engine is GREATER THAN THE WHOLE RD-180 (i.e. 2 nozzles) from here Install two BE-4 engines Failing to change the design of the Rocket (its thickness is 2 times thicker, which affects the complexity of transportation) or reduce the lift Cargo.

    They actually can’t build a plant for the production of these engines in any way. And as for the engine itself, it’s not possible to burn there. It seems to me that it’s no coincidence :) But if we cut off supplies to them, they will drag us on ships, and they’ll come up with some engines. There, nobody believed that Mask would be able to build a rocket. But it did! They’ll come up with something else. They can spin the French on Arian, if there’s absolutely no margin, they can reduce the weight of the satellites. Until now, they buy RD-180 mainly because of low cost.

          It was not the Americans who supplied us with plutonium, but we who supplied them

          Naturally. They did the right thing by buying plutonium until little Kim bought it. They regret that they didn’t buy everything.

          oust American weapons from the world market

          The entire global arms market in 2015 was $65 billion (Bloomberg estimate). The revenue of the mentioned apple for the 16th year was 215,6 billion, Intel - 59,4. The division of the arms market in the modern economy is like a fight between homeless people in a garbage dump.

    This does not mean that one does not have to move in the direction of colonization of other planets - mankind has no other options.
    You can stay outsiders.

    Well, what's the point of banning those who express their point of view?
    This discussion somehow slipped away from me, but there is no desire to stir this pile. Therefore, I express an opinion that has already been repeatedly raised by many readers of VO: there was no need to cancel the minus. Everything was clear and understandable, inadequate personalities quickly drove into the "skull".
    The use of an administrative resource as a punitive measure is a sign of uncertainty; this is the wrong approach to the discussion. Something like this.

    ...their job is like this... - go and get it at the planning meetings, don’t spoil it...

        And what's funny?
        Musk tweeted in 2016 that the Raptor would produce 3 MN of thrust. This year he said that in the future it is possible to raise the pressure in the chamber to 300 atm. Just a coincidence.

        The clown here is you and “patriots” like you. And Musk, without any RD-180, successfully competes with the entire Roscosmos in terms of the number of launches, and launches reusable launch vehicles of his own design, and not the legacy of Korolev and Chelomey.

        Because you, like a real Soviet engineer, get into a discussion about something you don’t understand even at an amateur level.

        That is, Pedivikia understands materiel better than Soviet engineers, because she knows that a rocket engine has not only thrust, but also pressure in the combustion chamber.

    A tale from another storyteller? )))
    Actually, ours did it for a competition at NASA - they won, and in 1996 ALL RIGHTS were sold to Dynamex, which even began building a production plant in Detroit, naturally with initial purchases in Russia.
    It turned out that it was impossible to build without Russian specialists, and the invitation meant the disclosure of production technologies for similar systems, and most importantly, it turned out that the production of a cheap “Russian” engine would cost the same price as its American counterparts, and at the initial stage, even more expensive ! )))
    So resales have begun - selling - right.)))
    Now the rights belong to Pratt & Whitney, a company that sells NASA and its rockets, so no matter how McCain blathers. and Pratt & Whitney will shut up half the Senate, not just the sick idiot.
