Europe will refuse Ukrainian rocket engines

52
The European Space Agency (ESA) has allocated 89,7 million euros to upgrade the Vega lightweight missiles and to develop the Space Rider reusable spacecraft. It is reported by Space News.

The modernization of Vega, for which Avio companies allocated 53 million euros, suggests a further rejection of the used Ukrainian engine RD-843, working on heptyl and nitrogen tetroxide. The missiles will differ from the current version of the "Europeanized" upper stage, which will install a German engine operating on liquid oxygen and methane.



Europe will refuse Ukrainian rocket engines


The new Vega C can lift 2300 kg to a low orbit of the Earth, about 800 kilograms more than now, the newspaper notes. The development of Vega rockets and the Space Rider spacecraft will be carried out by representatives of the space industry in Italy.

ESA believes that the top module Vega should be built according to European standards, the observance of which Ukraine will not be able to provide in the next three to four years.

Thales Alenia Space has received 36,7 million euros for the creation of a reusable unmanned Space Rider spacecraft. With its help, it is possible to output up to 800 kilograms of load to low Earth orbit. The first launch of the ship is planned in 2020 year.

The fourth stage propulsion engine RD-843 for Vega was developed by the Yuzhnoye design bureau and manufactured by Yuzhmash. The last, eleventh launch of a rocket with a Ukrainian engine took place on November 9. In just five years of operation, Vega carriers launched 26 satellites for 20 customers worldwide.

    Modernization of the Vega, for which Avio companies have allocated 53 million euros, involves a further waiver of the RD-843 engine used Ukrainian

    Now, shouts will come from the independent that Avio is a branch of the Kremlin and is owned personally by Putin. lol

    Yes, he will not send it anywhere. Carriers like "Vega-S" will begin to fly in 2018. Is the German oxygen and LNG engine ready? Or just plans. But on the carrier "Vega-E" the upper, 4th stage of production "Yuzhmash" is no longer provided. The third stage is planned for joint Russian-Italian specifically for LNG and oxygen. But how everything will turn out is unknown. The engine demonstrator was tested with us back in 2014, but its fate is unknown. So the Europeans want it or not, but even they will spend 10 starts with the Ukrainian engine

    The space and rocket industries of Russia and Ukraine are following parallel courses, I will not say where, so as not to be upset again. At the same time, commentators on both sides of the border behave in exactly the same way - they sincerely rejoice at another failure of each other, also sincerely forgetting about their similar problems. Well, how can one doubt the brotherhood of our peoples! About the representatives of both, we can say that they are more happy that the cow died from the neighbor than the offspring of its cattle.

      "which is more rejoicing that a cow died from a neighbor than offspring from its cattle."
      If there isn’t that “offspring”, then it remains to rejoice only because the cow is dead, after the death of its cow it’s not accepted to rejoice, but still you want to live and enjoy, because of this only ...
      smile
      Ukraine isn’t to be fools, to take it and poke it - push ONU engines, all the more so since the fact of the presence of nuclear weapons in North Korea has already come true, and the engines were already burning up on the last "sale" (there’s nothing to lose), and the RD will approach the ICBM or no, it doesn’t matter, maybe then the C-Koreans are going to fly to Mars. )))

    In other words, all the previous statements on VO that Yuzhmash and Yuzhnoye’s design bureau died long ago are "greatly exaggerated"))) Moreover, from the 20 launches - not a single unsuccessful one.
    The European Space Agency (ESA) has allocated 89,7 million euros for the modernization of Vega light rockets and development of space shuttle Rider.

    While they are developing, much more can happen.
