A new batch of rocket engines RD-181 sent to the United States

126

The Russian NPO Energomash is transferring the second batch of four RD-181 rocket engines this year to the customer - the American company Orbital Sciences Corporation, the enterprise’s website reports.

On December 6, representatives of the American company Orbital Sciences Corporation signed forms for the next batch of four RD-181 commodity engines. Within three days prior to the transfer of the engines, representatives of the customer company conducted their external inspection, inspection of spare parts, tools and accessories, as well as supporting documentation

- said in a note to the press service.



The RD-181 liquid engine was developed and manufactured by NPO Energomash, and is delivered to the USA under a contract concluded in December 2014. The engine is designed to be installed on the first stage of the American Antares missiles.

At the same time, as part of the replacement of Russian products, the American private company Blue Origin is promoting the new BE-4 engine as an alternative. Her competitor, Aerojet Rocketdyne is testing the AR1 engine. However, it is expected that both new products will be fully operational only by the middle of the 2020-s, and will be used on new generation launch vehicles.

      Space exploration issues are resolved implicitly and out of politics, because this is the kind of thing that everyone needs.
      Read about moving Sea Launch.
      In science, too, an information exchange takes place between scientists, but this is not the state level, of course, but communication between people who are passionate about their business and have a bolt on politics, which is why some periodically fly over the article.

        NATO has recognized space as one of its fields of activity, said Secretary General of the Alliance Jens Stoltenberg.

        No, no! In this case, this is just what the States need! In 2014, after the transition of Crimea under the jurisdiction of Russia, a mountain of sanctions against Russia was included and then it turns out

              Really? In 2012-13, more than 20 launches of American rocket carriers on our engines were made. This is more than 50% of the total number of US launches. Since then, every year the share of our engines has been declining, and in the last 2 years, only 7 launches on our engines. This is 24% and 21% for 2017 and 2018, respectively.

Someone says that production and service are too expensive in the absence of requests for such power. Someone says that in the process of closing the program, documentation, specialists, etc., were lost, although little is believed in this.

      In accordance with contractual obligations. The contract has been concluded and must be fulfilled.

      By the way, the head of SpaceX Elon Musk called the RD-180 and RD-181 engines excellent in terms of design. "It's a shame that Boeing and Lockheed need to use a Russian engine, but the design of the engine is just great," Musk said.

        All this is business and nothing personal. And all this will definitely end in the foreseeable future. They rightly decided that it is cheaper to buy so far than to produce and develop such things themselves. What is the point of repeating technology 30 years ago by ourselves, it is better to temporarily use them, and invest in the development of something much more modern. Well done.

We are wondering whether they will buy it or not?

    2006: NASA is torn to the moon
    The Americans will build a permanent base on Earth’s satellite. NASA plans to create a new base by 2024. To this end, by 2020, regular flights to the Moon will be resumed on a new generation of manned research ships (PIK), which will replace the shuttles. The Americans will write off the last of the shuttles by 2010, and by 2012 the first PIC should be ready.

    The new US space shuttle will complete its first flight in 2014. True, so far without landing on the moon. But when in 2020 regular PIK flights to the moon begin, the construction of the first lunar base will begin. Tentatively, it will be erected for four years at one of the poles of the moon. Most likely, in the south, which the Sun illuminates almost constantly.

      Well, according to RD-181, in fact, there is nothing pleasant in the future.
      Antares is a dead rocket. Now the contract is being implemented. The orbital died and was purchased by Northrop. Which first cut the draft of the new Antares (though there are also without Russian engines there). As a result, version 230+ became the last for the rocket.

      The only customer of such an expensive rocket (much more expensive than 9k, and almost at a price for the Atlas with more modest performance characteristics) is NASA and then only under the ISS supply program (Lebed-Antares). And as for the second program - they will probably be settled in favor of Lockheed-Sierra Nevada with the DreamChaser. For the DreamChaser began to lobby Lockheed to the fullest, and these would be pushed through anything wink .

      In the best case, there will be 2-3 launches per year for the ISS.
      In real - the rocket will die in 3-4 years.

      Here on Atlas (RD-180) there is a positive - there Starliner hangs on it. That is, even when a methane Vulcan displaces a rocket from cargo lines, a manned certificate will help to stay afloat.

      Although I repeat about Atlas:
      2016 - 8 launches
      2019 - 1 launch and 1 launch will be with Starliner in 11 days.

            Imagine a young engineer exploring Apollo artifactwho helped send people to the first enterprise of mankind to another world. An engineer saw a rocket engine circuit. She even watched old videos about a huge Saturn V tower rocket launched to the moon. Like any curious researcher, she wants to see how it works for herself. He wonders if this old engine has "essence" (BESH WAS HE ACTUALLY) ? As a car mechanic who examines the engine of a beloved antique car, she takes apart the engine in parts and restores it.

            This is exactly what NASA's small team of young engineers did. Engineers trained in areas from rocket engine to material sciencedisassembled and repaired parts Saturn V F-1 engines - the most powerful American rocket engines ever created. Why resurrect an Apollo-era rocket engine? The answer is simple: to reveal the secrets of the F-1 - the engine that last flew before the birth of these engineers - and use it as a source of inspiration to create new, advanced and affordable propulsion systems.

                Organizing the production of the GAZelle at the Gorky Automobile Plant, the plant’s specialists were already thinking about how to equip these cars with a diesel engine. Extensive experiments with foreign motors, such as Perkins, Andoria (Poland), IVECO, Toyota and Steyr-Daimler-Puch led to an unexpected result for many. According to tests, the Steyr M1 diesel turned out to be the best - an engine that was not serially installed on any car in the world, but its design was actively offered by the company for sale.

                  Everything can be explained very simply - after the flights to the moon and the launch of the Skylab into orbit, the F-1 was simply not needed by anyone. You see, it was a very, very, very powerful engine - still the most powerful single-chamber rocket engine in the world. And for flights to the moon, he suited very well. But only later, after the closure of the expensive lunar program, this power of it was simply nowhere to be used. It was not suitable for conventional rockets to launch cargo into Earth's orbit, both in size and due to the excess thrust. Less powerful and smaller engines were quite enough for them.

                  That is why the old, but smaller Rocketdyne H-1 was in demand further, and its super-powerful peer F-1 ordered a long life.

                  When the product ceases to be in demand, its production is dismantled and sold.

But the Soyuz launch vehicle, which is much older than Energia, has been and is being used, so the continuity of its production technologies has not been interrupted, the drawings have not been lost.

They turned out to be in demand, because the NK-33 is generally ordinary medium power engine, and power four chamber RD-170 can be reduced by simply "halving" it (in fact, RD-180 is just half of RD-170)

                        there are more ways:
                        - fly to the wrong place, which is divided into 3 options:
                        - jump over the Pocket line

                        - fly less (substantially) there, let's say once, having finalized everything that needs to be finalized
                        -can not fly, they are such funny manipulators, and how many times they came across
                        The total declared time the Americans were on the moon was about 5 thousand minutes, and they brought nearly 6 thousand photos.

                        6000/5000 = 1,2 photos per minute (if exactly 0,83 photos per minute = every 50 seconds)
                        The North American Space Agency (NASA) first posted on the Internet photos of the lunar program "Apollo" in high resolution.

                  The expression "Juice" means not only "essence", but also "force, energy, traction". And then the translation of the phrase will sound like" She wonders if this old engine still has "power"? "Something like" Does this old engine still have "powder in the powder flasks"?

                  Here. And no "entities" and "did he really exist" need to be invented, everything is easier to explain. Did you really decide that NASA, who supposedly decided to lie to the whole world, would be so fired up in an open article?

                  In the Russian language there is also an expression similar in meaning "the most juice" (perhaps it came just from the West).

                        - yah? Cosmonaut and spaceship designer Konstantin Feoktistov spoke out in his book “The trajectory of life. Between Yesterday and Tomorrow ”about a possible flight simulation:“ When Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins flew to the Moon, our radio receivers received signals from the Apollo 11, conversations, a television picture about the surface of the Moon. Arranging such a hoax is probably no less difficult than a real expedition. To do this, it would be necessary to land a television repeater on the lunar surface in advance and test its operation (with transmission to Earth) again in advance. And in the days of the expedition simulation, it was necessary to send a radio relay to the moon to simulate the Apollo radio communication with the Earth on the flight path to the moon. And they did not hide the scale of work on Apollo. And what they showed me in Houston in 1969 (Control Center, stands, laboratories), the Los Angeles manufacturing plants of the Apollo ships and the descent vehicles that returned to Earth should have been an imitation according to this logic ?! Too complicated and too funny. ”

                        - it means that somehow you read it in the wrong place while studying. We look at the contents of his book "Rockets and People":

                        Chapter 2. The lunar program of the USA

                        You can see it here: http://militera.lib.ru/explo/chertok_be/index.html

                        Further, Chertok's quote from the same book: "In the USA, three years after the astronauts landed on the moon, a book was published, which stated that there was no flight to the moon ... The author and publisher made good money on deliberate lies."

    As far as I understand, these engines are produced in Russia, but the right to use them was acquired by General Deinemics, and the engines themselves are produced jointly with the American company Pratt & Whitney, a well-known company in the world engine building. The joint venture is called RD-Amros JV. The patent rights belonged to our NPO Energomash, so the Americans could not just steal the technology of engine production. However, these patents expired in November 2019.
    Since 2014, the conclusion of new contracts for the supply and production of engines has been discontinued, and today they are going to the States, apparently under an old contract. And they do not conclude new contracts for the production and development of new engines in connection with the lawsuit won by E. Mask SpaceX, which decided to produce the engines itself and supply them to NASA and for the needs of the Pentagon.
    So, anything can do here, but the echoes of the 1990s (read the illiterate management of production and science) still ring out over Russia. Therefore, the Americans with full confidence speak of the decline of Russian cosmonautics, and even its complete degradation. Indeed, the conclusion suggests itself: Musk will repeat these engines at a higher technical level, using ready-made solutions, the rights to use of which have expired in Russia, and remove competitors from Russia from the space technology market. Common capitalism is when you don’t have to ruin your country.

      You write everything correctly, but 90 years have passed since the 20s.

        The 90s is not time, it is a state of a country made at one moment a territory, and a people turned into an electorate, ordinary people or consumers. On the territory there is no need for a flag, coat of arms, an anthem can be made from any music, science, education, patent law, etc. attributes of a developed society are not needed.

    despite the fact that it is produced in Russian factories!

    But do we need from them, in general, something vitally important?

    Many things. But to us (unlike China, for example), under the current ruling elite, the United States will never be sold. The list is long.
    Yes, we somehow get out of the situation, develop it ourselves, buy through the tenths, but the situation is just that.

    The discussion is part of a false dilemma:
    Sell ​​on old contracts or not sell?

    In fact, in the face of impudent sanctions, the right decision:

    sell, but much more expensive !!

    Sanctions are a force majeure - old contracts under the conditions of sanctions lose their force, so the price can and should be increased.

      So at exorbitant prices are sold laughing And it’s so expensive for them that they don’t want to launch their rockets and astronauts either.

      For comparison, at the beginning of the decade, the same RD-180s cost them ~ $ 9 million apiece.
      Today ~ $ 15 million. A week-long flight of a spaceflight participant (that is, a tourist) last year cost Roscosmos ~ $ 20 million, this is more than $ 40 million, and NASA astronauts and Europeans flying at their quota with the Japanese and other Canadians at the expense of NASA pay more than $ 70 million for a place .

    And after that, there are complaints against Bulgaria. They dodged it all right, but why should others blaspheme with their own precepts?
