Replacing Russian RD-180 created? In the United States introduced the rocket engine BE-4

203
The company Blue Origin introduced the rocket engine BE-4 during the space symposium in the American Colorado Springs, reports RIA News.





According to the developers, "after passing the fire tests, the BE-4 was rebuilt and tested many times again." The forum was presented the current version - SN 103.



It is reported that the US "is planning to use the BE-4 engine on a Vulcan booster, which is being developed as a replacement for Atlas V with the Russian RD-180." In the future, the American engines will be installed on the new carriers of the heavy New Glenn class developed by Blue Origin.



Recall that in the 1997 year, the Russian Federation and the United States concluded an agreement on the supply of the X-NUMX engine RD-101. Then, due to the deterioration of relations between the countries, US lawmakers imposed a ban on the use of RD-180 after 180, however, then they abolished it. Immediately after this, the ULA consortium, at the request of the US Department of Defense, ordered additional 2019 RD-20 engines from NPO Energomash.

    Well, did anyone doubt that the USA would create its own engine? Let's see how it will show itself in a real launch.

          And from somewhere the information popped up in my head that people on this device can’t be sent until it reaches some sort of (such as MTBF) safe start-up ratio, well, at least we have this ...

            As far as I know, they don't plan to carry people on it (on the Vulkan rocket) yet. The United States sends people to space only to the ISS, and the SpaceX has already been seized by SpaceX with its Dragon2

                    Why does it have a Russian name?
                    The patent may have been bought, but it is designed and manufactured in Russia

                    Or, is it right to sell patents only for American companies, and if Russia sells, then "the Americans regretted"?

        This is not a copy. Could not, alas.
        The weight of the BE4 engine “for some reason” turned out to be significantly higher than that of the RD-180, and the thrust was significantly lower. Accordingly, the weight return of a rocket with BE4 is much lower. I do not understand why BE4 is classified as a "replacement" of the RD-180.
        And for how many flights BE4 is enough - only Brahma knows.
        I wouldn’t risk flying into space on a rocket with a “secondary” BE4.

        Even if you close the taxi. That stock is not enough until NewGlen all 1,5-2 year. Volcano - it’s not clear there, ULA seems to be pushing the deadlines and even promises to postpone the first flight for a year (already in the 2019 test mission).

        They have a Mask - which today planted the last stage of the BlockNUMX, after successfully launching a telescope to search for exoplanets. There will be no more such archaic from Mask. The next missile is BlockNUMX with significant improvements. If federal contracts (on which ULA lobbyists sit tightly) are dumped on him, then Musk will send Tesla Putin a gift.

          It depends on what.

          They have this year the Starliner flies to the ISS. The first with nishtyak different - without a crew. Carrier Atlas. In the future Volcano. But there it is necessary to certify the Volcano for people - it should be a fairly extensive launch program without people.

          Next Dragon2 flies on FalconBlock5. Also with hotels from Mask without people.

          After these missions will be manned. The question is when? The Boeing announced for November-December a manned Starliner - subject to the perfect passage of the program by a summer ship. Musk transferred his manned to the ISS in 2019.

          Further more. In 20, NewGlen will fly from Bezos. Then New Shepard will fly without people. And then with people. New Shepard is the most advanced and cheapest orbiting spacecraft for today. One of the goals is to make space truly accessible. Not millions of dollars and half a year of preparation, but tens of thousands and weeks of preparation per ticket.

          Following Orion flies on the most expensive and most expensive SLS rocket in history. But Orion is not an orbiting spacecraft, but an apparatus for the moon, Mars, asteroids, etc.

    A country with such a strong scientific and technological potential has finally made a rocket engine. Not surprising. It’s only surprising why they didn’t do it before. By the way: on which engine they flew to the moon. And, most importantly, on what they took off from the moon. Here, every launch, thousands of people are preparing for several months, on specially equipped cosmodromes. For takeoff, a launch vehicle (disposable, weighing thousands of tons) is used. And there they took off once - without preparation, without refueling, and there was enough fuel for acceleration and landing on the return journey. Well, yes, I remember - there 6 times less gravity - but something is wrong here.

Although there was some kind of rumor that Aerojet is negotiating the purchase of Russian-made NK, I think it's not serious .....

    In Ukraine, they succeeded, they think, and in Russia the same thing will happen. Often you can see the methods that were used in Ukraine, read with us. For example, Yanukovych’s golden loaf, they don’t write about Putin yet, they can’t pick up the keys, but they write about governors' golden toilet bowls (without quotes). Well, the state dachas do not give rest, we recall the cottage of Yanukovych Mezhgorye. So you can see that the guys are working according to the template.

    Well done Yankees, caught up with our engines of the 80s of the last century.)))

    Actually surpassed. For ours is oxygen-kerosene, theirs is oxygen-methane. We still only dream of methane engines.
    Usually we try not to talk about the engines of the TR-106 and TR-107 series. The first is a 300-ton oxygen-hydrogen (we don’t have such a word now), the second is a 500-ton oxygen-kerosene. Engines passed fire tests, but in connection with the cancellation of certain programs, the creation of engines was temporarily suspended. Its thrust is almost 180 tons more than that of the RD-100.

    and hydrogen? probably that's why the shuttles stopped flying

    They also have hydrogen, unlike us, who had the last hydrogen engine on Energia, and the shuttle stopped flying altogether for completely different reasons.

    Quote: Vlad.by
    The weight of the BE4 engine “for some reason” turned out to be significantly higher than that of the RD-180, and the thrust was significantly lower. Accordingly, the weight return of a rocket with BE4 is much lower. I do not understand why BE4 is classified as a "replacement" of the RD-180.

    Well, comparing such characteristics for engines running on different fuel pairs is not the best option. It is classified as a replacement, if only because two BE-180s will be put in the existing dimensions of the first stages of launch vehicles instead of one RD-4. The total thrust of two BE-4 engines is almost 500 tons. The thrust of the RD-180 engine is 390-423 tons, therefore, replacement

    Quote: Vlad.by
    And for how many flights BE4 is enough - only Brahma knows.

    Actually designed for 25 flights

    Quote: Yrec
    For a rocket engine to go into series, it takes years of testing and refinement. By that time, the RD-180 is completely out of date. Arrived mattresses with development.

    Not at all. The years that we supply them with the RD-180 turned out to be quite enough to create a line of engines
    1. The engine BE-4. Oxygen Methane Thrust approximately 245 tons. To date, it has passed more than 100 test tests and is ready for operation
    2. Engine AR-1 / Oxygen-kerosene. Thrust 226 tons. Competitor BE-4
    3. Engine TR-106. Oxygen-hydrogen. thrust 294 tons
    4. Engine TR-107. Oxygen-kerosene. traction 499 tons.
    The engines BE-4, AR-1, TR-106. Having a thrust less than that of the RD-180 have mass and dimensions that are such that they can be set in the amount of two instead of one RD. The total thrust will be higher than that of the RD-180

    Quote: RASKAT
    I agree, with the Americans everything is going according to plan. From the 2019 of the year, tests will begin, I think from the 2022-23 of the year we will completely abandon our engines, possibly earlier.

    They can buy "safety" RD-180s in 2020, although they still have a small supply now. EMNip about 30 "Atlases" they can still run. RD-181 is purchased quite intensively. The contract was for 20 engines until December 31, 2021, plus an option for 30-40. They have now begun to purchase options. For 2017-2018, we had to supply them with 6 RD-181 engines, but taking into account the optional 8 to 14 engines. The number of launches of Antares 200 series is about 2-3 per year. Enough for the coming years

    Quote: MIKHAN
    Interestingly, they will also launch their cosmonauts on these engines ..?

    There will be time - on these. Moreover, on their way they have several manned ships. The Dragon will go first on Falcon with the Merlins - and then all the rest ...

    Quote: Vard
    Well, let's see how it will fly ... on the stand and on the rocket ... these are two big differences ... They kind of like they want to order another hundred of our engines ..

    We will see. That's just about 100 RD-180 engines. Trim sturgeon every 5-6. And the number of engines ordered (if any) will be possible

    A country with such a strong scientific and technological potential has finally made a rocket engine.

    And before that, the United States did not have engines? Or used a steam engine to launch missiles?

    Quote: S_Baykala
    It’s only surprising why they didn’t do it before. By the way: on which engine they flew to the moon. And, most importantly, on what they took off from the moon. .

    Why didn’t you? There were certain types of media - there were engines. Saturn-5, for example, took off on F-1 engines. At that time the most powerful in the world. Start from the surface was provided by two-engine engines (or you should name their index)

    Quote: S_Baykala
    Here, every launch, thousands of people are preparing for several months, on specially equipped cosmodromes. For takeoff, a launch vehicle (disposable, weighing thousands of tons) is used. And there they took off once - without preparation, without refueling, and there was enough fuel for acceleration and landing on the return journey. .

    Well, you shouldn’t carry a blizzard? Yes, the launch from the ground was provided by a disposable launch vehicle. Start from the surface of our satellite - those engines that were on the landing and take-off steps. And with that gas station that was there. Braking when approaching the Earth was provided by the engines of the command module, and not by the landing or take-off stage. Read better Shuneiko's monograph "Manned Flights to the Moon." Almost 50 years students of space specialties have been taught in this specialized textbook (monograph) in our specialized universities.

    And now, too, we are holding on to leading positions, no matter how difficult it is for us!

    Alas, Vitalik, no longer. I already wrote in some of the topics that the next decade the Federal Space Program has set the task of entering the top three leading countries. Do not be second or first, but only in the top three. Fundamental research of outer space by devices in our pen ... We wouldn’t have to slide down to 4th-5th place (so far, it seems, they shouldn’t). And to be leaders - in the next few decades, this is not real ... We specifically already breathe in the back of the head several countries ... Although they still need to work a lot ...

    So Musk completed testing his new methane-oxygen Reptor engine, which will be installed instead of the Merlin on the Falcons.

    On the "Falcons" they are unlikely to be put, but on the BFR (Big Falcon Rocket) media - yes, it is he who is planned. BFR media will have a diameter of about 9 meters. At the first stage 31 engine "Reptor". The capacity of these promising carriers is from 150 to 250 tons

    Excuse me, but your Max pontovik and PR man .. Space is serious and very expensive, then the whole state should work for the future!
    Spread it out, but the ZERO sense!

    Vitalik. He is not only PR, but DO. He said he would do the return steps - he did, said that he would launch a heavy carrier with 65 tons of load capacity - he did. Not always everything goes smoothly and evenly, but he does. We say more than we do. every 5-7 years we change a promising program and say that in 202xx, 203xxx we will launch .... We speak, but we don’t ....
    This year we plan (Russia to launch) 23 carriers. USA - 45, of which 18-19 will be his. Wow PR, when in terms of the number of planned launches, he, a private trader, almost caught up with a country like us ...

    at RD-180 thrust ~420 tons, and BE-4 ~270 tons

    So what? Instead of one RD-180, they are going to put two BE-4s. In total, we get our 390 tons (420 is in a vacuum) versus 2x 245 = 490. And if TR-107 will be put on promising ones, then there is a thrust of 499 tons against our 390 ...

    but (!) they still have to “fight” the new engine control system

    But they are on the Atlases and do not plan to put them. And the new missiles have new engine control systems.

    A copy could not be better than the original. Throughout the world, Kalash rivets, but they can’t bring reliability. China S-300 pounding, not that, engines for fighters, not that. Grannies remember the Singer machine, as they did not try, not that.
    You can rely on development, well, you need to do it from scratch. And for this there must be scientific and technological, chemical, metallurgical, etc. the base that is mined for years (if according to Stalin), for decades actually.

    Be-4 NOT COPY RD-180. This is a completely new engine, like a number of others ... Do you think that the Americans have no technological, chemical, metallurgical base? and they need to create it from scratch?
