"Roskosmos" demanded the return of money for non-operating nanosatellites

52
Roskosmos Corporation intends to return 290 million rubles paid for the manufacture of the first two Russian nanosatellites, which, having been in orbit since July 2017, have not contacted, report News.





The devices were created by the private company "NPP Dauria" on the order of "Roskosmos". Currently they are considered lost. In case of refusal to return the money paid under the contract, the state corporation will transfer the claim to the court.

In the conclusion of the state commission to investigate the emergency situation with the ICA-N, it is noted that the possible reason for the lack of communication with the satellites is the impact on the devices of "external factors". At the same time, it is indicated that “a note was made on the functioning of the engine of the support system for starting the“ Fregat ”upper stage”.

According to Sergey Ivanov, Director General of NPP Dauria LLC, if the funds requested by Roscosmos are recovered from the company, then it is threatened with bankruptcy. He considers the claims of the corporation unfounded.

After the launch of nanosatellites, we began to look for the causes of loss of communication with them. We checked all possible factors, both internal and external. Together with TsNIImash, they came to the conclusion that the reason for the refusal was not in the devices. We asked to verify our findings, conduct an independent investigation, but were refused,
told Ivanov.

“In addition to two ICA-N after the launch of 14 in July, 2017 of the year, 10 satellites of different manufacturers failed (just one X-ship of 73 spacecraft of various sizes was launched). Among them is the Russian spacecraft Mayak. Its manufacturers, with the assistance of other victims, conducted their own investigation and concluded that the failure could have been caused by the entry of combustion products from a light-thrust rocket engine. Such engines are installed on the Fregat upper stage, ”the newspaper writes.

According to the scientific director of the Institute of Space Policy, Ivan Moiseyev, in the current situation, Roscosmos should conduct a new investigation.

Always information about incidents was more secret than the latest technology. But the buyer of services needs to assess the risks, and the concealment of information is always interpreted not in favor of the contractor, in this case Roskosmos,
noted Moses.

He also believes that the new investigation "will increase confidence in the Russian space and will have a positive impact on attracting new contracts in this area."

        She is - a private company.
        The Russian private space company LLC NPP DAURIYA, part of the Dauria Aerospace international holding, is the first private space enterprise in Russia to develop and launch full-scale space systems.
        It’s impossible to fly into space alone. It’s expensive to start developing spacecraft. We have it at the state level. Most countries will not pull it. In the USA, it developed in parallel.
        And creating artificially is bankrupt.

          To assemble satellites using CubSat architecture - from ready-made components, this is one thing. Making a program, conducting development, costly and sometimes deadlock projects is a different level, even for the West

          For example, the American hope BE-4 - not only Bezos (the richest man in the world) is pulling, but also the mega-corporation ULA (space division of Boeing and Lockheed) has connected since 2014. However, this will give them a product that will defeat the Mask in space both on Vulcan (ULA rocket) and New Glenn (Bezos rocket).

            generations. Or share. That's where the money is! Musk began to launch (on trial) the first of

      Behind the word nano, Chubais stands in every way, but he won’t be able to take the dough, rather Roscosmos will give it and ask for forgiveness! laughing

      But to be serious, then all these are the very gray schemes of dabbling the budget - the notorious g ... flew into space! So there is a demand for those who did and those who accepted! And here, indeed, the situation can be corrected only in one way - by executions. No private business is working here. There is no third!

        an incomplete article is given here, it is obvious that Roscosmos and his Frigate are to blame, since insurance has already been paid for this party over foreign satellites, that is, Roscosmos’s fault was recognized and he did not deny it, but they decided to try to fuck from their own

          Roscosmos does not pay insurance, it pays an insurance company in which the satellite is insured on the basis of the documents and contract. Satellites of Dauria should have been insured as well.

            uh, what are you talking about now? it’s a no brainer that the insurance pays out upon the INSURANCE of an insured event, that is, it was insured that it was put into orbit, an insured event occurred - due to the fault of Roscosmos, the satellites were paid to foreigners .. Dauria's satellites were built on budget money at the request of Roscosmos, here they hid their guilt and try shift the blame on Dauria and collect .. anestend? delve into the essence, and then comment, so as not to look dull hi

              Excuse me, but does Roskosmos decide to pay insurance? It is not at all his will to admit his mistakes and tell the insurance company what to do, since the money belongs to the insurance company and not to Roskosmos. That is, the insurance company itself decides who to pay, who not to pay, and why.

              In this case, I see that the insurance company protects the interests of foreign companies, but does not protect the interests of Dauria. This means that the insurance company uses double standards and infringes on some of its customers compared to others. This is not a fair situation. It seems that the insurance company is afraid of a conflict with foreign companies because of the fear of losing the foreign market, and they do not give a damn about the Russian market.

              I believe that such an "insurance company" should be driven from the Russian market.

                  Roscosmos did not give such facts to other companies that, as follows from the article, "conducted an independent investigation."

                  That is, foreign customers conducted an independent investigation, made conclusions, provided them to the insurance company and received money from it. Dauria did not conduct such an independent investigation.

                  A claim from Roskosmos to Dauria for damages is a completely different story that is not relevant to the topic.

          This is classified information. All shareholders of SpaceX are unknown. The percentage of capitalization for shareholders is unknown. This company Limited (Ltd - LLC in our opinion). The only information that is known is that 50% of SpaceX's revenue comes from government orders. In addition, NASA provides the Mask with launch sites for which nothing is known, but since the founders of SpaceX have the US government, it should be assumed that the launches cost the Mask for free.

        Owners of the Dauria company conduct a blog on Habré. They themselves and their fans are people who themselves do not like Chubais and Rusnano. Therefore, I advise you to decide which of you is more right and cooler in this liberal clowning, you or Dauria fans. We can arrange a competitive contest for throwing a slipper at Chubais for you; whoever gets in is right.

    Interestingly, have similar satellites of the same company already been launched by Roskosmos? Anyway, they bought a satellite, which means it passed the tests and was found to be suitable - after all, they didn’t buy a pig in a poke .. Although this is of course a court case based on mutual evidence of innocence, but to give money amiably and prejudicially means to voluntarily admit guilt and bury your reputation ... Therefore, it is necessary to prepare for court and collect evidence and arguments - this is uncontested ..
