NPO Energomash has announced new testing dates for the RD-171MV engine

NPO "Energomash" announced the conduct of fire tests of the engine RD-171МВ, stating that they are scheduled for the end of 2020 - the beginning of 2021 of the year. This was announced by the deputy director general - chief designer of NPO Energomash (enterprise-developer of the RD-171MV engine) Pyotr Levochkin.

The new RD-171MV engine, or Tsar-Engine, as Roscosmos head Dmitry Rogozin called it, will undergo firing tests on the stand at Energomash at the end of 2020 - the beginning of 2021, they are planned for this time, Levochkin said. Earlier it was reported that fire tests will be conducted in 2019 year.

As explained by the chief designer, the RD-171MV engine will have a new control system, and fire protection measures will be strengthened. At the same time, no radical alterations in hydraulics and gas-dynamic part will be made. The engine will be entirely Russian, the participation of Ukrainian enterprises in its creation is excluded. Earlier, a Ukrainian-made drive was installed on an RD-171 engine, a drive made by TsNIIAG Moscow installed on an RD-171 engine will be installed on the RD-191МВ. The new engine is scheduled to go into series in 2021 year.

The engine is created for the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle developed by Energia Rocket and Space Corporation. "Soyuz-5" can be used to launch a manned ship "Federation" in low earth orbit.

The engine is being created for the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle

So I understood that the light "Angara" had already been sentenced ...

And nobody understood anything Actually all this "Union # 5" Grew from Kazakh ambitions

On August 18, 2015, the Director General of the Progress Rocket and Space Center in Samara, Alexander Kirilin, said in an interview with the media that the development of the Rus-M project was closed, but work began on the creation of Soyuz-5. »Moved to the active stage.

And actually this "Phoenix"

Soyuz-5 (the version for Baikonur in the framework of the Russian-Kazakh project “Baiterek” is called Sunkar; translated from Kazakh. Szar - Sokol) - a medium-range launch vehicle (LV) being developed by the Energia rocket and space corporation that will be able to launch to low Earth orbit up to 17 tons of payload.

And if you consider that they began to make a table on the East "under the" Angara "and even on the 5th ....... Saw Nursultan Abishivech, saw it is gold.

[maxim947]

please
Easy Anara has nothing to do with it, she has her own niche. Similar characteristics with the average one are Angara 5. And they plan to tackle the Federation specifically for Soyuz-5, but I agree that it’s too early to give clear forecasts, everything can change quickly in the Roskosmos Group of Companies

[Bad_gr]

At one time, the Zenith missile was planned to replace the Soyuz. But in connection with the collapse of the Union, this topic died out. A bunch of different things were planned for manned space exploration (Clipper, etc.), but they did not pull money. And, as I understand it, the most acceptable option for the money is to return to Zenit again. Although the rocket was developed in Ukraine, the vast majority of its components were made in Russia. Therefore, what was created in Ukraine (tanks and small things) was replaced by domestic ones - the project "Phoenix" turned out.
As I understand it.

[maxim947]

A lot of different things were planned for manned space exploration (Clipper, etc.)

That is exactly what happened, and not just on a manned one. The money was spread over the projects, the paper was torn up the mountain, and in the output iron was zero.

[newcomer]

it seems like the light version of the “Angara” will be given to commerce. Now they are working hard on heavy and super heavy.

[Pereira]

And again to no avail. There is such a concern.

[newcomer]

Well, a healthy dose of fear never hurts. but the light Angara has been mastered. fears in Roscosmos itself. they declare that “Protons” will be used as they become available; production is not planned. the same with the “Unions”, gradually moving completely to the “Hangar” of all weight categories. then, in fact, this statement is refuted, because the common question is: what will the manufacturers of “old" missiles live on? and launchers at Vostochny will not be soon. in general, wait and see.

That Rogozin will always denounce all undertakings in his own language .. Well, what is chatting ahead of time ..!

They themselves there will not understand what is needed .. Rogozin blurted out again, the officials executed!
Our linguistic officials from the military-industrial complex always spoil everything in the bud .. Well, why make such statements?
Oh Russia ..

Well, in general ... a fairy-tale character is straight from a song with a refrain

We are rich in roots. But our tops
For some reason, they always bend.
And harvest big bags
We can’t do anything at all ...... Eh, nettle-elderberry,
Parsley celery!
The Chinese have the King Wall
And we have the Tsar Cannon!

And we do not put principally smart and professionally trained people in high posts? Politics in the state such chtol?

I don’t understand

Previously, Ukrainian-designed drives were installed on the RD-171 engine,

Ukraine developer? It seems like the USSR developer ... no?

[slipped]

Soviet cooperation was in the production of its predecessor RD-170 for parablocks of the Energia LV. She also switched to Zenit-2. And on "Zenit-2SLB" in the version of RD-171M. And shchaz everything, "the dancing is over."

Your untruth, you just don’t know what is .... a schedule of postponements in the schedule! So everything goes exactly on schedule .... on schedule!

[the lord]

Hold yourself. How can you fully plan and adhere to precisely these terms, if all calculations are carried out in rubles. and liveries in the government hammer this ruble lower and lower? This can be arbitrarily planned, but money does not come from nowhere. And Roscosmos and its curators have nothing to do with it.

[Kent0001]

Well, this is already ... well, like in everything ... in all directions. Either we are lagging behind ... or in general, the main thing is that funding from the budget was on time, otherwise there is nothing to master. The construction of Vostochny is the most striking example.

Sergey, apparently yes. We need to understand the principle of gravity and antigravity. Without this, we will not fly beyond Earth orbit.

We need to understand the principle of gravity and antigravity.

To understand this is half the trouble, but to learn the principles a little more seriously. Suppose if there is a gravitational wave, this refers to the wave theory and the task is only to create a gravitational wave (a kolyder to help) and modulate it at will, but we transmit sound by modulating an electromagnetic wave. Enter resonance with a parallel universe and ... oh how much we can ...

[For example]

To understand this is half the trouble, here ...

Of course, poher is something that we do not understand and do not know. why the hell do you need this understanding? There are so many books about blasters and about flying from star to star. Need to take and do.

Get in the car and go, you will start the engine on the road.

[senima56]

With engines (any !!!) we always have a problem in Russia! Well, it doesn't work ..... No way! PD-14 even when shown and doing everything, altering .... the end is not in sight! Now this RD-171MV-"tests are being transferred"! So, ass ... tsa! And about ship engines, I generally keep quiet! There is an "ambush", dupa!

[Horse, people and soul]

There are no young ones in the industry. And those that are do not reach the old people. And the old people leave one by one. Age...

You can not endure the test of what is not yet in nature. That's when they do, then it will be possible to transfer.

[Horse, people and soul]

That is, it is not a methane engine, but again a "kerosene stove"?

After all, they planned to make Soyuz-5 methane, as a compromise between "kerosene" and hydrogen?

[slipped]

What for? To take off for him from the modernized start of the former "Zenith" so the size and ground should be suitable. The superiority of the methane engine over the kerosene engine is blown. There is soot here and there.

Yes, even if they have mastered the kerosene, and then the holiday ...

[slipped]

In order to say something about the timing of production of a new engine based on the old one, one must first ask, but did the equipment from the old production remain? If you have to recreate it from scratch, then this is not the 21st year for sure. Is that an option to rebuild the RD-171M with new components, like the prototype of the RD-171MV. But whether Voronezh will cope with RD-0124MS by the deadline is another question.

Was it stupidity? The light Angara 1.2 is 3,5 tons into low orbit, the Soyuz-5 is 17 tons there. In general, different missiles.

So I look at the designers and try to understand whether they know the laws of motion of the same stream, let's call the plasma in the nozzle. So, the nozzle in contact with an open medium, which has its own potential, does not provide a laminar flow or flow at the same speed at each point of the cross section. There are algorithms for changing the potential and direction of the process at these points. It’s like spinning water in a glass with a spoon. The flow is always distributed according to certain vectors. Therefore, when leaving the combustion chamber, in order to get rid of the product faster and without resistance, it must be directed quite differently. And this is obvious even by the effects that are observed on the inner and outer surfaces of the nozzle. Therefore, the more efforts, the higher the resistance. And not only in quantitative parameters and effects
