Chinese private company will launch the first commercial rocket in June of this year.

56
In June, the private company Lingtai Kongjian will carry out the first launch in China of a commercial space rocket of the One Space series (OS), reports TASS the message of the head of the enterprise Shu Chan.



Funds in the amount of 500 million yuan ($ 78,2 million) have already been allocated for the implementation of the budget project.

This money will be spent on the construction of OS-X and OS-M launch vehicles developed by us. The first of these, 22 December, has successfully passed a comprehensive test, and at the current stage we have begun its preliminary (ground) tests,
told Shu-chan.

The second rocket (OS-M), according to him, will be sent into space also in 2018, however, in terms of its launch will take place later.

The head of the company explained that in the near future "he does not plan to use rockets for the implementation of complex projects for the exploration of outer space."

This is done by competent government agencies, at the same time our task as a private enterprise is the implementation of commercial projects,
he said.

The CEO also said that, unlike SpaceX in America, the Chinese Lingtai Kongjian is going to create “compact compact missiles for satellites that will be very inexpensive and therefore will compete well with similar US projects.”

This is only the first step, and in 2019, we predict a real breakthrough,
he said, expressing the hope that “despite the long payback of space projects,” private investors will not remain indifferent to the undertakings of his company.

The resource of modern cars is designed for only 5-7 years, depending on the class. But in showy shows, the flowability of cars is not made fun of for some reason. Apparently they don’t pay for it.

          This is different.
          The Chinese - launch their rocket, which they developed for a specific business plan.
          Mask has global plans, but he has his own technology, his own rocket, his own spaceships.
          Orbital - its own rockets (Antares and Minotaur), its own ship (Tsignus).
          BlueOrzhin - his own rocket and his ship, and quite a breakthrough. If at Mask only accelerators return, then at Orizhin - the ship also softly lands and then flies into space again.


          S7 has a fundamentally different plan. They use the existing and not the most economical Zenith missile. And in the future, they are not going to conduct any major developments of their own. They do not have their own scientific or production base. This is a classic buy media, rent a site - sell a place more expensive.

            Forgot to mention - take a loan and do not give back!
            S7 showed a net profit in 2016 in the region of 2,9 billion rubles, while at the same time it ordered 12 missiles of the Zenit-3SL and Zenit-3SLB modifications on Yuzhmash. It is also worth remembering the acquisition of the Sea Launch platform by the company. Although, it announced S7 about the availability of a portfolio of orders for the coming years in the region of 350 miles $. Before the first start, you still need to invest money in the region of 20 billion rubles.
            So for now there are more questions than profits and whether it will be not very obvious yet.

Further supply of MTU engines was suspended due to the introduction of European Union sanctions against Russia in 2014.
      In view of this, the remaining four RTOs of project 21631 (serial numbers from 636 to 639), are under construction in Zelenodolsk with a deadline for the delivery of the Navy Russia in 2017-2019 should receive Chinese-made diesel engines. According to known information, these should be high-speed 20-cylinder marine diesel engines CHD622V20 of a power class of 3200 kW manufactured by the Chinese company Henan Diesel Engine Industry Co., Ltd (HND, located in the Jianxi city district of Luoyang, Henan province, part of the Chinese state shipbuilding corporation Shina Shipbuilding Industry Corporation - CSIC).

        The use of Chinese weapons and equipment in Russia is no longer news, China began to sell military products to Russia several years ago, and the scale is amazing. These deliveries developed rapidly in 2016, when China sold not only diesel engines to Russia, but also equipment for auxiliary vessels. In 2017, volumes increased, and this is only the beginning - in the future, China will supply Russia even more.

    “As Fontanka’s St. Petersburg web resource reported on March 27, 2017, it was fined 750 thousand for the collapsed engines of a manufacturer’s military boat,” two engines for an anti-sabotage boat of the Ministry of Defense of Russia broke down at their first test. The OFAS of St. Petersburg fined a subcontractor, rejoicing that the equipment failed not during combat duty.

Rybinsk, August 2016 / Photo: Marine Propulsion Systems LLC

    As the St. Petersburg Antimonopoly Service reports on March 27, the decision to impose an administrative fine was made a week ago. Under the agency’s sanctions, the company Marine Propulsion Systems, which in July 2016 transferred two engines to the defense department for state defense orders through the Vympel shipyard as a subcontractor. In tests in September, both units broke.

    Due to the supply of low-quality products, the organization will have to pay 750 thousand rubles to the budget.

    “This is the first fine in the history of management for the supply of low-quality products under the state defense order. It’s good that the engines broke down during test trials, and not during combat duty. Therefore, if we receive information about such violations, we will approach them with the utmost rigor of the law, ”said Vadim Vladimirov, head of the regional OFAS,” (http://www.arms-expo.ru/news/vooruzhenie_i_voenn

    “Despite the restoration of the Russian car market that has begun, the Chinese are setting new anti-records in our country. While the demand for new cars in the first quarter of 2017 increased by 1% as a whole, the Chinese segment collapsed by almost a third. According to the Association of European Businesses, in January-March, sales in it amounted to 5,6 thousand cars (-31%), providing only 1,7% of the market. It is worth noting that this is the lowest figure from 2009-2010, when almost half the Chinese brands were represented here. And compared with their record year of 2013, the market share fell by half. Thus, drop in demand for Made in China cars, which began in the second half of last year, continues to gain momentum (http://www.zr.ru/content/articles/906510-kitajts
