Communication with the lost Angolan satellite restored

RSC Energia specialists managed to restore the lost connection with the first Angolan satellite Angosat and receive telemetry, reports RIA News message source in the space industry.

But to talk about how the spacecraft can behave further, whether it will be possible to restore its overall performance and whether the satellite will be able to work properly for its intended purpose in full, it is still premature: you have to wait for definite conclusions about the causes of the incident,

said a source to the agency.

Recall, the Zenith launch vehicle with the first Angolan satellite Angosat launched from the Baikonur cosmodrome 26 December. After the 8 minutes of flight, the “Frigate” upper stage separated from it, which brought the device to the calculated orbit. The device came in contact, but later telemetry ceased to come from it.

The contract for the creation of the RSC Energia satellite with the Angolan side was signed in 2009, but it entered into force only in 2013. After the introduction of sanctions, a considerable part of the foreign component base, most likely, had to be changed to domestic or Chinese. All this could affect the compatibility with the operation of satellite systems in orbit.

The satellite is designed to provide communications and television broadcasting throughout the African continent.

Yesterday it was news!

Meanwhile, they write that Sarmat took off.

My father-in-law yesterday after a corporate party communicated with this satellite through his channels

[Vladimir16]

whether the satellite will be able to work properly for its intended purpose in full, so far prematurely: it is necessary to wait for unambiguous conclusions about the causes of the incident,

If the satellite for broadcasting, check out this broadcast. If everything is a bunch, and the broadcast is broadcast then the satellite is working.

And then deal with how much your soul desires. How much can verbal diarrhea produce?

He did not fly anywhere until they simply threw the mock out of the mine.

[Muvka]

Well, all the same, it’s quite worthy of the news on the site, agree. And they write about Matvienko and about the order on Putin’s corrupt officials. Well, 30 meters above the ground - this is quite a flight. Yes, and flew a few tens of kilometers :)

And not Sarmat, and did not take off. They simply shot from the mine with a blank - a dimensional-weight model.

I didn’t invent it myself. "Throwing tests" were carried out.
Quote:

Throwing tests mean pushing cargo model missiles from the silo launcher due to the actuation of the powder pressure accumulator to a height of 30 meters, on which, during a regular launch, the main propulsion system of the first stage of the rocket will be launched.

Yes, I'm not talking about "invented", I'm talking about "just shot."

So what? The powder charge “pushes” from the mine - a complete association with the “shot”. A bullet or shell is also “pushed” by a powder charge from the barrel and this is called a shot. By the way, rocketers have a term - "shoot a rocket," even intercontinental.

[Colonel]

Yes, I'm not talking about "fired", I'm talking about "just"shot. This is a test, here" just "does not happen.

Well, finally, we got to the truth. I agree, the word "simple" may be superfluous. Although in what sense it should be understood. Not in the sense of the simplicity of the test process, but in the sense of the simplicity of the very concept of "throw test" in contrast to the "START" of the product. With what, in fact, our dialogue began. Well, there was no "Sarmat", but only a "blank". And this is my first comment in response to the user "Muvka". But you wedged in and I also had to enter into a polemic with you, in which you began to cling to my every word, and this is the first sign of "trolling" - to get a person out of himself with petty nitpicking to every word.

We must not look for the reasons as a result of what happened, and not allow blunders during tests on the ground. Time will tell whether or not it has worked out.

Well, maybe it’s прок going through ’this time ... But can it be somehow without ... excesses?

[Muvka]

It is difficult to do on a new component base, and even with a long break, it’s good right away. The first pancake is lumpy.

Can. As in the USSR, you would not know anything at all.

... even Angolan satellites are launched into orbit ... but it’s interesting when the All-Yukronazist “Lybid” will explode into space?

[rotmistr60]

I wonder when the All-Yukronazist "Lybid" explode to conquer space?

Probably when the "aggressor" will put him into orbit. But the “true” Ukrainians will not take such a collaboration step, which means that the “swan” is destined to swim in the Ukrainian pond.

The main contractor and payload developer is the Canadian company MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates Ltd. (MDA).
The subcontractor is the ISS named after academician M.F. Reshetnev, responsible for the satellite platform and the design of the payload module. In addition, the ISS carries out integration and testing of the spacecraft, its delivery to the spaceport, participates in pre-launch operations, renders spacecraft control services at the initial stages of operation, and conducts orbital tests of the platform. ISS also trains personnel of the Lybid spacecraft control complex

The money for Lybed was allocated by France, the satellite Russia has collected. Ukraine stole money intended to pay for the satellite’s launch into orbit. Now Lybed lies in custody in Krasnoyarsk and waits for the “juntics" to scratch some money, but no one does anything for them on credit.

[thinker]

Why some anonymous sources.

Telemetry information was received from the satellite, which shows that all parameters of the vehicle's onboard systems are normal.

The supplier’s supplier contracted the deal ... hard workers, welded metal ... the customer made the beams from it ... the builders put the beams on the bridge ... At the same time, another supplier got the cement delivered ... the workers were kneaded and made supports. The bridge collapsed! Who is to blame, the minister, founder, director, hard worker? A system of economic relations based solely on profit, protected from external interference and not controlled in general by the state!
Other approaches to responsibility, standards and acceptance are necessary, with full control by the state - regardless of ownership.

Well no. It's just fun to see how he is constantly accused of EVERYTHING.

[Fedorov]

most of the foreign component base, most likely, had to be changed to domestic or Chinese. All this could affect the compatibility of satellite systems in orbit.

Where is Skolkovo's wablo being asked? Where are the nano bees?
The joke is that the launches of military satellites do not advertise, they are successful, but only civilians - karachun (there people are not in uniform).
Forever problems. Maybe it's time to change the “acceptance”, right up to the execution.

[IL-18]

Those. is there a different public procurement system? And, for example, the legislative requirement for procurement of not 15% from small and medium-sized businesses is not valid? Or is control and acceptance a little stricter?
Most likely, the root of evil lurks in the employment of inspection and regulatory bodies by scheduled inspections. Instead of eradicating deficiencies and controlling bottlenecks in any sector of the economy, it’s easier, and most importantly, more profitable to impose fines on those who earn anything. And reports, and bonuses, and the imaginary effectiveness of the leadership of a government agency. And nobody is interested in loading up with the problems of normal production at a strategically important enterprise without fines and preferences. The system is so sharpened.

[Simargl]

And you try to work with those salaries that are in Roscosmos! This is laughter! ... although not - tears.

[Vadim Zhivov]

And the bosses? How to drink to give as always and as everywhere

Or maybe you should stop referring to salaries. They do not do anything anyhow, but SPACE! More than necessary! And then the players also get paid a lot, and what? Do you want the space industry also to become?

[Aleksandr21]

The most annoying thing in this situation is the fact that Russia's reputation as a reliable partner in space launches can be called into question, which means that foreign customers will go to the same American private companies, and no one will particularly understand whose components were on satellites / which rocket launched into orbit, etc. the USA has all 29 launches! were successful this year, and all satellites were routinely put into orbit and customers have no complaints, and we have 19 failure out of 1 launches, the result is not bad, but against the backdrop of SpaceX’s success, this story does not look so convincing, and this story ....

[Muvka]

Is this for those whose feces from the engines are lying around? The fact that they were lucky is not always true, does not mean that they will continue to be lucky as well. 90% of SpaceX launches are constantly ported.

It happens that they are postponed, but in the end they still do the launches, in 2017 SpaceX made 18 launches, which is 1 less than Russia. On the whole, the launch of Falcon 9 at Mask has already been worked out, and you can also add sending Dragon cargo ships to the ISS and the planned Dragon V2018 manned in 2 to commercial orders for sending satellites. So they are doing well, and very successfully, in January 2018, in my opinion, they plan to launch the heavy Falcon Heavy LV, too, if everything goes smoothly, it will be a big success.

[bk316]

And we need to lament more in all the media as we feel bad. This of course will help commercial sales.

[Rusfaner]

The same story was with Kazakhstan's KAZSAT-1. Something in the conservatory is wrong ...

[Terenin]

It turns out that there were no embezzlement in Roscosmos. The missile itself stole the funds allocated for it and hid with them in the Pacific Ocean.

Stop pouring bile. Good news. Looking forward to even better.

Well, what are we going to list the names of Voshny all-wearers?
I was so interested in the statistics of launches this year after the bacchanalia of the “prosralipolymers” in the media and in VO in particular (one would think that everything is falling for us in general). The second result in terms of quantity and the second-third (how to count) in terms of reliability.
