US private company put satellite 3 into orbit




According to the press service of the company, 3 satellite for commercial customers were put into orbit.

Rocket Lab successfully reached orbit as a result of testing the second Electron launch vehicle (called) Still Testing,
says release.

It is reported that "the rocket was launched from the Mahiya Peninsula in the north-east of New Zealand at 14.43 local time on Sunday (5: 43 Moscow time)." After 8 minutes 31 a second after launch and separation of the first and second stages, the “Electron” “reached orbit and delivered commercial cargo”.

As explained in the company, one of the satellites is designed for the company Planet Lab, which takes pictures of Earth from space, the other two - for the company Spire, which is engaged in "collecting data from space to track the movement of ships and weather forecast."

In September, the 2016 Rocket Lab completed the construction of the world's first private spaceport in New Zealand. The company's management intends to use the launch pad for launching ultralight launch vehicles.

In May, 2017, the company carried out the first launch of the rocket "Electron", but then failed to put it into orbit. It was reported that the main purpose of the rocket is the delivery into orbit of small satellites and other small cargo. One of the features of the "Electron" is the engine, created by the technology of bulk printing.

        Judging by the liquid cooling, so that for sure it can bring higher. That is not the point. The point is that a private American firm quietly took and launched a medium-range ballistic missile.

              Science and technology
              Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin admitted that Russia will never catch up with the United States in space. According to him, the Russian Federation is nine times behind the United States, and this gap can be reduced even with the implementation of the most ambitious projects by only 1,5 times.

              Rogozin made a disappointing statement on Friday, May 27, at a meeting of the board of the RF Ministry of Industry and Trade, Interfax reports. “Today in the space industry we are nine times behind the Americans. All of our ambitious projects say that we should increase productivity by 1,5 times. Well, we’ll increase by XNUMX times, but still they will never catch them,” the vice concluded Prime Minister in charge of the space industry in Russia.

              According to him, if the Russian industry will not strive for high productivity and will not fight against the bureaucracy, then we in the Russian Federation "will continue to look at NASA and Ilona Mask."

Further, other capacities, temperature conditions, wear resistance, and the device's lifespan are already needed. Those. actually "space technology". And this is aspirated. And it’s precisely on the mass of atmospheric air that they are setting it now, because the rest is not available to them. From the word "finally".

Soon the satellites will become even smaller and we will read messages like "Children at Izhevsk (conditionally), the palace of technical creativity, launched another satellite, which will help teach space flights and master these disciplines such as the basics of space navigation, communication, and so on." laughing I recalled a moment from the childhood film "Guest from the Future", where the pioneers from the circle launched the satellite at the cosmodrome. laughing

    This is a unique project. I read about him. There is not only a 3-D print engine, but also a turbo pump that supplies fuel to the engine - ELECTRIC! Powerful, powered by batteries. But this is one of the most difficult nodes in the rocket engine, and they all worked out! There, the payload is under 200 kg.

            The complexity is large, and this is an additional price and points of failure. In general, the transition to electric traction, although pioneering, but it will not be difficult to follow it. Naturally, on new missiles, it will be difficult to remake the old ones

            As far as I read in the Cosmonautics News, there is nothing wrong with rocket fuel pumps in general. It just complicates the engine due to an additional gas generator, turbine, pipelines, etc. Plus really increases the chance of failures. But at the moment, such pumps outperform mass pumps.

            Here we are dealing with a small rocket and a small development company. In this case, the mass of the electric pump is insignificant against the background of a significant simplification of the development, refinement and production of the engine.

      But the figurines - there is some kind of legal justification for ALL orbits, and just like that, “no one wanted” anyone in the world can launch anything. There are “windows” of launches, etc. And as for the withdrawal of the poison bomb - I beg you, EVERYBODY is afraid of this and watches each other together, moreover, this is not land-based carriers for you and in the case of a “jamb" it can crash to any point along the flight path. And if the trajectory is not circular, well, is it "sliding" then will the bomb actually fly over all areas of the earth? This is like the first nuclear strike - no one wants the Third World Thermonuclear Fusion to start due to a malfunction (and there are plenty of them in the space program). For no matter whoever thinks, but to convince Russia or China "oh, and we accidentally dropped the udera bomb on you" - it will not work. No.

    I am an absolute amateur in this field, but from the data given it is clear - proximity to the equator, plastics and composites wherever possible and impossible to have a goal to lower the PRICE. YES, it’s wonderful that they essentially create a market for themselves by launching any small things that were previously loaded with a "dump truck" into a load "to large satellites with a" free load ". Actually, this event is more than expected - humanity has been flying into space for so long that only the Cold War slowed down the process of transferring launches (especially such trifles) to private hands.

      the point here is not a rocket (which is figurative in terms of efficiency), the point is how it was built ...
      missiles have a lot of human labor (everything is done manually + often unique machines are used to create individual parts that exist in a single form) salary for people (5 thousand people minimum) to create unique machines for unique parts, etc. etc.
      and then people print a rocket on 3D machines (of course, not all the details), if you compare it with the auto industry like a robotized production of Volkswagen and manual assembly of a Ferrari, it’s clear that Ferrari is cooler but the price is ten times higher ...

      empty idea
      1. no payload:
      the Pegasus-2 rocket was canceled (under which this clumsy apparatus was designed).
      2. only specially prepared satellites can be launched (another direction of overloads acting on the payload)
      3. regular use is required for payback applications,
      (at least once every 2 weeks)., including for other purposes.
      Stratolaunch was created for a large rocket (over 200t)
      - 2 different rockets were developed under full load
      1) Space X Falcon 9 Air - abandoned development focusing on the Falcon family
      "Development ceased in 4Q2012 as SpaceX and Stratolaunch" amicably agreed to end [their] contractual relationship because the [Stratolaunch] launch vehicle design [had] departed significantly from the Falcon derivative vehicle envisioned by SpaceX and does not fit well with [SpaceX's] long -term strategic business model. "
      2) pegas -2 office did not pull. Moreover, in the process they turned the wrong way - they developed a solid-fuel rocket (and this is a small impulse),
      although just for an air launch it is more profitable to make a rocket with a high momentum - either hydrogen or methane and immediately with a high-altitude nozzle.
      Therefore, being without rockets, management
      made a clownish senile excuse:
      - they say we will launch immediately three missiles "pegas -1" !!!
      it’s impossible to come up with more stupidity - even if there is a task to launch 3 Pegasus in a short period of time
      it’s better easier it’s more reliable to make 3 flights,
      not to mention the fact that a carrier with a carrying capacity of 30 tons is enough for this - 8 times less !!
      So, I’m sure that in a year or so they’ll launch a little pegasik for public relations, and that’s where it all will die ...
      But Internet users, far from astronautics, will post photos of this useless monster for a long time as something “original” and “breakthrough”

                        Why are you planning to launch an air launch rocket weighing 200 tons in the absence of carrier?

    In short, the Yankees apparently decided to cover up the NASA that had been lying. And again, stolen patents from private offices are easier to use. I think soon they will again and again talk about a breakthrough in science and technology about the transfer of energy to a distance, about eternal batteries and more. It’s just that the moment has come for these accomplishments, when Teslov’s inventions will be taken from a deep box.

    Not lads is bad. Imagine what the clogging of space will be, it's the hell that will be, it is not known who and it is not known what they will throw there. Compare the behavior of drivers on the road, with the availability of buying a car. The same will happen in space, for whom to follow, what to do?

      To force them to do as SpaceX, after launching them, they don’t have a single gram in orbit from the carrier. The first stage sits down, the second drowns. And satellite manufacturers and operators can be forced to heat satellites after the expiration of the warranty period. Then it will be purely in orbit

    This is a unique project. I read about him. There is not only a 3-D print engine, but also a turbo pump that supplies fuel to the engine - ELECTRIC! Powerful, powered by batteries. But this is one of the most difficult nodes in the rocket engine, and they all worked out! There, the payload is under 200 kg.

    225 at the DOE and 100 at the solar-synchronous.
    The question now is becoming somewhat different. Satellites, rightly stated, are becoming miniature. Those that were launched by "Electron" had a mass of a maximum of 5 kg.
    The market of ultra-small satellites is expanding every year. Launching them even with light launch vehicles with a carrying capacity of 5-7 tons becomes economically unprofitable. The market of ultra-small launch vehicles is now practically empty. And we have such developments. a private company is ready to create such LVs and launch such satellites. That's just all about finance. He does everything for his money ... Last fall, EMNIP, they tested either the 1st stage, or the entire rocket ... And the launch area can really be any. moreover, the spaceport is sometimes not needed. Temporary launcher, which is minted for half a day-day

    Sorry - this is not serious, the declared cast weight is up to 150 kilograms !!! This is essentially a "big firecracker." Yes, it has interesting and new ideas, but alas, there is nothing “breakthrough” for astronautics.
    I am an absolute amateur in this field, but from the data given it is clear - proximity to the equator, plastics and composites wherever possible and impossible to have a goal to lower the PRICE. YES, it’s wonderful that they essentially create a market for themselves by launching any small things that were previously loaded with a "dump truck" into a load "to large satellites with a" free load ". Actually, this event is more than expected - humanity has been flying into space for so long that only the Cold War slowed down the process of transferring launches (especially such trifles) to private hands.

    That it is a large or small firecracker is the tenth matter. Now the market for small satellites is constantly expanding. if in 2014 half of the satellites had a mass of less than 10 kg and their number was 9 small), there were 3-4 dozens. But at about 2018, the number of such satellites is about 150. By 2030 - they plan about 600 a year. Of course, these are easier and cheaper to run so ultralight. But here we are behind. Investments of the order of 10 million are required to start flying our ultra-small Taimyr rocket. But it’s easier to spend on something grand than to invest this money in private firms

      Ah
      they had to start with cello cases
      you look and there would be no questions with money

      very relevant
      interestingly, the Chinese are also sawing such a system, like they are going to mount on a car chassis

    1. I am glad that another private trader has entered the market. good
    2. ENIP then this one has an electric drive for the fuel supply turbine (do not be angry if you haven’t formulated it correctly).
    3. On this rocket, all the main engine parts are printed within 24 hours.
    4. The missile is very reminiscent of an ICBM. Not much annoying that she is in private hands. clear contradiction 1. bully

    PS
    Nominal payload 150 kg.
  21. The comment was deleted.

    This is an extremely effective investment - your spaceport !!! good And in a very picturesque corner. Here what for yachts and villas to spend money, it is much better to invest like that. Yes, and there will be profit)) Fame again.

      The spaceport for this facility is too loud a name. To call the asphalted platform with a pole - a cosmodrome too pathos.
