Check rocket engines completed in Voronezh. Now there will be no failures?

In Voronezh, all stages of rocket engine inspection for Proton and Soyuz launch vehicles have been completed. We are talking about rocket power plants, which could contain defects. The verification was initiated in connection with a series of accidents related to defects in rocket technology. According to Igor Mochalin, general director of VMZ (Voronezh Mechanical Plant), monitoring is completed ..

RIA News cites Mochalin's statement:

The Voronezh Mechanical Plant completed the inspection of the 58 commercial engines for the Proton-M launch vehicle, which were transferred to the company in the 2017 year. In the near future, the engines of the last two batches will be tested, after which they will be sent to the customer. 16 engines for the Soyuz launch vehicles were also checked and sent to customers.

Recall that in the course of the commission’s work, problems with the composition of the solder used in the installation of rocket engines were previously identified. Only for 2017 a year, due to the identified problem, more than 70 engines had to be re-processed. This resulted in additional costs that were not explicitly provided for by the original contracts.

The other day (March 21) from the Baikonur cosmodrome successfully launched a space rocket as part of the Soyuz-FG launch vehicle (with the 11D55 engine manufactured by Vyksa at 3-th stage) and the Soyuz MS-08 manned transport vehicle.

Mochalin:

In accordance with the production plan, the production and shipment of new commercial engines is underway. At start-ups already implemented this year and last 2017, all the engines of the Voronezh Mechanical Plant worked successfully, without comment.

Don't say gop until you jump over. No one is safe from failures.

No comment, that's good. It would be nice if without accidents ...

No comments - this means regularly in all modes. And the accident may not be due to the operation of the engines.

[siberalt]

Rejected Chinese solder. And do not chase for cheapness. But who was responsible for this?

Yes, but disruptions can be minimized. In this case, in any serious production, there are a number of completely mandatory quality measures. I don’t understand one thing, earlier when testing engines, that no one at all saw the mismatch of the parameters? Or at the reception, the representative of the customer did not pay attention that the wrong solder was used in the production? It has always been like this recently, the production culture has fallen, details come out even with slight defects on the permit cards from acceptance, and so on just a little bit, but the assembly is already completely different. Either it does not produce parameters, or does not work at all.

He could not physically pay attention to the quality of the solder because the place of soldering, as a rule, is covered with a protective compound after testing, and microcracks in the solder are formed only during direct operation and physical stress on the circuit board, such as vibration. Faced this - the composition of the solder is appropriate, and the quality of the soldering during its operation is poor.

[Orionvit]

Board loads such as vibration. Faced this - the composition of the solder is appropriate

The level of vibration loads in rocket engines is many orders of magnitude higher and, accordingly, the requirements for materials are many times higher. For example, I came across a similar when testing aircraft engines (20 years of experience). The procurement department, with the full support of the management (financial interests), purchases something similar (according to certificates), but in fact it is absolutely not suitable in quality. The technologist, at the request of his superiors (do what is), writes to the act of acceptance of the part or assembly, a permit card (which is necessarily filed to the case) and everyone is happy. And then during the trials you rack your brains for a long time, where do defects come from that no one has ever encountered. You open the engine case, and everything falls into place, here they allowed to use the material not according to technology, but "similar", there is a small mating device, something else in detail, but as a result, the missiles fall. By the way, the rocket engines, after the test, are completely disassembled to the screw, all the parts are defective (to detect defects) according to the technology, then they are assembled, and only after that they are sent to the customer. There is only one conclusion, and I already wrote about it, this is a fall in general professionalism, and, as a consequence, a production culture.

Thanks for the interesting details about the tests, I did not know about them! With sadness we can say that in all high-tech industries such a story! Money is everything, unfortunately!

Ugh ugh ... and still be bankrupt?
Someone shoves the mask as opposed to NASA, they pour in so much money even though they still haven’t received a ruble of profit.

[donavi49]

Yes Yes Yes. Not a ruble came from a bunch of 100% of commercial launches.

It is so unprofitable that everything from New Zealanders to the Chinese now climbed into the segment pushing each other. Well, I wonder who finances it? If anything, he can redeem NASA for his money and still remain a rich man from the TOP-5 world

And his system is much more promising and more advanced than that of Mask. And if Musk cannot answer, then by the 28-30 year, Musk will be in the role of today's Roscosmos, that is, from the actual monopolist to the collector of crumbs from the pie of commercial launches.

For your information, no private office space alone will not pull. All over the world, states are doing this. Musk can only be a NASA contractor, which he essentially is. If the commercial launch of satellites can still bring some kind of income, then manned space flight is a pure loss and works only for the prestige of the state. In addition, we’ll see what happens to such inflated figures like Musk, after the next financial crisis, which regularly shakes the Western system.

[voyaka uh]

"no private office space alone will not pull. In the whole world involved in this state." ////

There are billionaires who are much richer than many states. And if they decided to invest in space, and not in yachts, islands and castles, then their investments are more than the state can afford from the budget. In the United States, there are two at once: Mask (PayPal) and Bezos (Amazon). Mask has 21 billion, Bezos has more than 100 billion.

If such "states" as Somalia or Ukraine, then yes, but they do not fly into space. Countries with a state space program can be counted on the fingers.

Mask has 21 billion, Bezos has more than 100 billion.

Is this how much money, or their assets? You should know that these are two different things. For some, debts are recorded in assets. “You look” at some sort of billionaire about whom they say that he has “capital” in the amount of 10 billion (for example), but in reality he owes 5 billion.

A complaint

[donavi49]

Today, by the way, it flies to the ISS - its used CRS-14 truck - used 100%.
Rocket launched CRS-12
The truck itself is CRS-8.

Both the rocket and the truck will crash on the return. The rocket is the old version (they will only reuse the BlockNUMX now), the garbage truck truck will work for return.

[Muvka]

1 launch was unsuccessful. Do not cheat. In general, the mask would be nice to catch up with the Chinese. They have more launches planned. Does that mean Musk is lagging behind?

[Blackmokona]

No accidents were confirmed by Zuma. So far the only off comment. That everything went ok. From the military and SpaceX

[Muvka]

It did not come from the fact that it is a secret military satellite.

[Blackmokona]

Other satellites reported it, and one that exploded into small shreds according to TASS data was later found to be safe in orbit.

The disappearance of the multi-ton apparatus and the appearance of small objects in its place was logically explained by the USA-53 emergency blast. A TASS statement issued on March 16 said that the satellite was apparently taken out of orbit on March 7.

The Pentagon responded with an ambiguous statement about the completion of the operation. In practice, a complex of measures to misinform the USSR hid the successful launch of the first MISTY invisible satellite into orbit.

Despite the successful implementation of the ingenious covert launch plan, the Misty-1 satellite was in danger from amateur astronomers conducting optical observations in various countries. In October 1990, three European "satellite catchers" discovered an unknown object in a high circular orbit with a height of 810 km and an inclination of 65 °.

Is it really also decided to save on solder?
or technologists technically illiterate? continuous questions and minuscule answers

[sapporo1959]

Saving on solder seems strange to you, and people you need for this saving have probably already bought houses in the Alps ... Nothing personal is just a business!

[Jeremiah]

The topic of responsibility "For the wrong solder" was not disclosed ... Before that, the one on you was not the same, but if the engine operators had been brought carpentry glue instead of solder, would they continue to sculpt?

Before that, there was one and it was not that on you, but if they brought wood glue to the engine operators instead of solder, would they continue to sculpt?

Recently, basically this is done. Hence the accident. The casket just opens.

Well, to take off, fly to a given orbit and do not fall anymore!
