What to do with the old "Voivode"?

For several decades, intercontinental ballistic missiles of the R-36M line have been a key element of the ground component of strategic nuclear forces. However, by now, even the newest modifications of the Voivode are out of date, and their operation should be completed in the very near future. To replace the R-36M2 products, a completely new RS-28 Sarmat missile is being created. At the same time, the issue of disposal or alternative use of decommissioned Voivode becomes relevant.

Old plans


The R-36M2 / 15P018M / RS-20V / Voevoda missile system was adopted in 1988 and replaced the older systems of its family. More than 30 years have passed since then, leading to well-known consequences. Despite all the measures to extend the resource and service life, the R-36M2 missiles will soon have to be removed from service.



The topic of rejection of the Voivode in favor of other models with subsequent cancellation has been discussed for many years. In March 2018, the Ministry of Defense revealed its plans in this regard. Deputy Minister of Defense Yuri Borisov then said that the life cycle of the R-36M2 ICBM is nearing its end, and it is planned to remove them from duty in the near future. Old missiles were supposed to be sent for disposal.

According to data from various open sources, the Strategic Missile Forces currently holds no more than 45-50 missiles of the R-36M2 type on alert duty. A number of such products may be in storage. Thus, in the foreseeable future, the Ministry of Defense will write off dozens of old ICBMs and make way for new ones.

The further fate of the decommissioned missiles is obvious. Waste ICBMs will be sent for disassembly and disposal. However, another use of products is possible, as officials and sources of various kinds have already spoken about.

Waste - to income


A certain part of the Voevoda ICBMs remaining on duty will soon be dismantled. Such a process starts already this year. In early January, Interfax, citing the Spark-Marketing information system, announced the launch of a tender for the disposal of two decommissioned missiles.

According to the terms of reference of the tender, the contractor will have to accept for disposal two transport and launch containers with the Voivode. They should be taken from the military unit in the Urals and delivered to the enterprise, which will have to be disassembled. When disassembling, a certain amount of materials to be sold will be obtained. The remaining waste is disposed of in the prescribed manner. The work on the two ICBMs should be completed by November 30 this year. Disposal will be carried out in accordance with the terms of the current strategic arms treaties.

The expected results of missile disposal are known. The R-36M2 product with a TPK weighs about 52 tons, and about half of this mass falls on materials suitable for reuse. The contractor will “extract” 20 tons of non-ferrous and 6 tons of ferrous metals, 19 kg of silver, 1200 g of gold and 55 g of platinum from each rocket. Some other materials will also be sent for recycling.

The cost of work and their contractor are not specified. It is clear that the sale of recovered materials will at least partially offset the cost of disposal.

It is likely that the current tender for the disposal of two R-36M2 ICBMs will not be the last. Over the course of several years, about 50-60 missiles will be decommissioned, and a significant part of them should be disassembled. The exact schedule for the disposal of missiles and other plans of the Ministry of Defense have not yet been announced. Probably new details will appear in the near future.

From the mine to space


One way to get rid of decommissioned ICBMs is to convert them into launch vehicles to bring payloads into orbit. So, in 1999-2015. the Dnepr missiles, built on the basis of decommissioned combat R-36M UTTH / RS-20B, were operated. 22 launches (1 emergency) with 140 spacecraft took place. Over the past few years, the Dnieper has not been used for a number of reasons, but there is evidence of a small stock of R-36M UTTKh ICBMs suitable for conversion.

In recent years, the theme of developing a new launch vehicle based on the R-36M2 Voyevoda product has been repeatedly raised. So, in May 2018, RIA News referring to sources in the space industry spoke about the possible creation of a new project of the Dnieper type on a new base.

It was about the conversion of combat ICBMs R-36M2 into launch vehicles using existing experience. At the same time, unlike the Dnipro project, it was planned to manage on its own and without the involvement of Ukraine. It was noted that the use of R-36M UTTX modification missiles is now not advisable due to their small number. The newer and more numerous P-36M2s are of more interest in this context.

About a year after the news, official statements were made. In May 2019, the head of Roskosmos Dmitry Rogozin spoke about the plans for the Voivode. According to him, the decommissioned missiles will undergo conversion and will be used to launch a load into orbit. However, the head of Roskosmos did not provide specific data.

Since then, the topic of processing combat ICBMs into a launch vehicle has not been raised. It cannot be ruled out that the development of such a project is already underway, but data on its account are not yet available. The lack of news about the launch vehicle and the announcement of a tender for disposal can also be interpreted as a rejection of plans for the conversion of decommissioned weapons.

For its intended purpose ...


An alternative to utilization or conversion may be the use of missiles for their intended purpose - as part of exercises or tests. However, not all such methods are expedient and make sense, given the well-known plans for the future.

In the past, combat training launches of Voevoda products were regularly conducted, both in the order of the Strategic Missile Forces exercises and as part of larger events of the armed forces as a whole. Regular missile launches allow you to test the skills of personnel and the performance of the systems in conditions as close to combat as possible. However, it should be noted that the last training launches of R-36M2 products took place several years ago, and since then weapon did not apply.

Training launches of the R-36M family of ICBMs were regularly carried out in the order of testing according to the results of measures to extend the life of equipment and weapons. The successful launch of ICBMs for training purposes at the training ground confirmed the correctness of the solutions used and allowed to extend the operational life. However, now such events and launches simply do not make sense. R-36M2 missiles will be abandoned in the near future, and the extension of the resource is no longer planned.

The launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile during exercises or for the purpose of testing is a kind of alternative to disposal and also has its advantages. Nevertheless, the number of reasons for such use of the Voivode has decreased for objective reasons.

Recent years of service


As you can see, old ICBMs with an expiring life can be used in different ways or disposed of with certain benefits. To date, reliable information has appeared only about the future disposal of missiles. The prospects for conversion in the interests of the space industry remain unclear. However, new information about the plans of the Strategic Missile Forces and the Ministry of Defense may appear in the very near future.

Since the late eighties, the R-36M2 Voyevoda missile system has been one of the main means of ensuring the strategic security of our country. However, more than 30 years have passed, and this complex is outdated - it will have to be removed from service and replaced with a modern one. Old missiles are regularly handed over for cutting, and this year two regular products will cease to exist.

In fact, an era ends in stories our strategic missile forces. And now everything possible is being done so that its completion is not associated with losses, but gives certain benefits. How exactly the Ministry of Defense will get rid of old weapons is already clear. Perhaps in the near future new details will appear.

          There, the problem is not accelerations, satellites in this regard are now doing undemanding (mostly). They recently launched on the ICBMs literally, the Dnieper and Rokot.

          There is another problem. A different control system is needed for the launch vehicle, which is completely different than on an ICBM. It was made in the Dnieper. Now for certain reasons do not do. To do the same in Russia is not quick, expensive, and requires test launches. Given that time is running out, the topic is rotten.

            The first problem is acceleration. It is called a mortar start. And then another high-speed launch into space. You just look at how the ICBM is launched and how the "civilian" launch vehicles.
            And the management system ... Yes, in fact, there is no fundamental difference. It is programmed where and in which direction. Dnepropetrovsk nothing to do with it. Or do you think that without specialists from this city it is not possible to redirect from one goal to another?

              The last (although, they say, the last) launch of Rokot, also known as UR-100, was on December 26, 2019. It was also launched from the mine.

              If you want to deliver a satellite to some point in the Pacific Ocean - no problem. If you need an orbit - yes, change the entire control system. Khrunichev promises to replace it with import, but, frankly, there is little hope.

                If you need an orbit - yes,
                But can this place be more detailed? To drag to a certain point and shoot off the load the whole task of the launch vehicle. Everything else is decided by the withdrawal system or by the satellite itself.

                  About Rokot / Dnepr and mortar launch unsubscribed below.

                  About hauling. Or you screw the space block of the third stage to the rocket onto the rocket, on Rokot it is the Breeze, EMNIP. Then yes, the lower stages of the ICBM throw him on a ballistic trajectory for the atmosphere, then he himself. But the breeze is very expensive in itself.

                  Or you teach the upper stage of the ICBM to finish. To do this, you will have to fundamentally change the control system. ICBMs are not intended for launches into the sky, only into the ground.

                The last (although, they say, the last) launch of Rokot, also known as UR-100, was on December 26, 2019. It was also launched from the mine.

                First: The rumble starts from the TPK on its own, rather than a mortar launch. The difference in acceleration is very significant (Roar starts much smoother.). Not all satellites will survive the mortar launch overload, especially domestic ones.
                Secondly: The roar is launched from the platform equipped on Plesetsk - the launch pad, on which the LV is installed in the TPK. The Dnieper was launched from Baikonur from a special mine made and equipped at one time for LCI. Baikonur is Kazakhstan ...
                Khrunichev promises to import it (SU Rokot), but there is little hope, frankly.

                From what ... ? Work is underway, there are no technical problems, the only question is financing and organizing the process.
                Accelerators under the Roar lie in warehouses dozens.

                  Thoroughly, thanks.

                  At the expense of the mine for Rokot wrong, you are right.

                  Regarding the r-36 and overloads - it’s more appropriate to talk about the Dnieper, after all. I brought the rumble as the last flying alteration, maybe in vain. The Dnieper has not been flying for 4 years.

                  About the general meaning. The general meaning was that the Ukrainian control system, rather than a mortar launch, was preventing the Russian Dnieper from making the Russian Dnieper. Do you agree with this or not?

                  As for import substitution from Khrunichev, I have my own understanding from the sofa, you have your own, especially if you, unlike me, have a relationship with this organization. We will see how import substitution will be seen.

                    The control system for Rokot was developed by PJSC Hartron - this is now Ukraine. Khartron - the legacy of the USSR, of course. The roar successfully performed commercial launches after 2014 only because there were stocks of SU purchased in store before the departure of hundreds of heavens. Import substitution according to Rokot - this, in fact, is SU RN. Russian contractor, curious people will easily find him, because he is now a monopolist in this subject.

                    Dnepr what is bad ...?
                    And he is bad, firstly, precisely because of his main advantage - a huge payload. To launch one, two or three satellites on it is not enough. And the need to collect a large number of orders for each launch is an extra crap, risks, waiting time between launches. The indicated reason, IMHO, at one time made the Rokot program preferable to the Dnieper.
                    And today there are even more preferences, because there is no launch pad in Russia for the Dnepr program, there is no SU in Russia, there is no ready and convenient backlog for LV sets (they need to be removed from the mine, then much more .... No. ), there is no set of documentation on adaptation to commercial launches, there is no plaque confirming reliability, as in Rokot.
                    Well, a control shot: R-36 / Dnepr is Yuzhmash (Ukraine), and R-35 / Rokot is GKNPC Khrunicheva.

                    In our age of tendencies towards miniaturization of cosmic apparatuses, such heavyweights as the Dnieper no longer have a commercial perspective.

                        I do not know about the accelerating blocks of the Unions, but the accelerating blocks of Rokot are ready. The USSR has already paid for them.
                        You say the cost of starting ... This is a very vague topic. Who and what counts ...?
                        Usually they consider it convenient for themselves. Musk announced the cost of a launch with recoverable blocks cheaper than Proton launches. This does not mean that it costs so much, it means that for this money he will do it. Today. And tomorrow, when Proton and Rokot will bend from the overflow to the Amers "clients", the price may be different. Dumping is called. The Russian space industry is mired in internal squabbles of grabbers and ambitious, instead of combining their potential to go forward. Russian space is being finished off in parts. While one is being spread rot, the other quietly giggles. Until they come for her.
                        PS: Well, if the garlic ... Relations Khrunichev and Korolevtsev, especially the attitude of Korolevtsev to Khrunichevtsy, to put it mildly specific. The princesses of the queen to tear up (sorry), are engaged in this systematically and with inspiration. However, what will happen to them if Khrunichevtsev is completely overwhelmed ...? More precisely, what will remain? With crafts from kerosene technology 50-60-xx ...?
                        Although the Khrunichevites have collapsed the design and engineering corps, although there are no intelligible managers and organizers, they still have a powerful scientific groundwork both for civilian launch vehicles (the Angara family) and for military topics.

            Not really. If the PN is commercial, then it means the insured. Now insurance companies involved in space insurance have specialists to analyze the conditions of launch, in the state or on the contract. In particular, on the analysis of shock-vibro-acoustic load on the load cell during removal.
            This greatly affects the cost of insurance and start-up. And they may refuse.
            The flight program will have to be changed, it is almost 100%. In particular, the conditions of start and acceleration. This of course will affect the weight of the Mon, but, IMHO, bearable.

                The arguments are simple. The Dnieper LV has a maximum longitudinal overload at the withdrawal site of 7,8 units. Modern newly developed LV requirements for maximum acceleration - not higher than 3 - 3,5 units. At Proton and Zenith, the maximum longitudinal overload at the excretion site does not exceed 4g. Such high acceleration due to mortar launch.
                What closes this launch vehicle to the market. You can be convinced of this by looking at the list of PNs that the Dnieper launched - there is a set of some left satellites, student, scientific, cubesats, group launches, almost no commerce. She needs specially developed satellites. And it is necessary to solve problems with insurance, without this commerce there is no.
                This means that the Dnieper launch vehicle is a whipped up sleek hack. The Dnieper launch vehicle in the form in which it was implemented is uncompetitive. This is understandable, because The Dnieper launch vehicle was used without significant modifications; they just rewritten the program for launching into orbit. But the metal is the same.
                As I understand it, the new option should be done more reasonably and economically. It is necessary to change the third stage to cryogenic, probably to solve the problem of increasing the diameter of the head fairing, to change the flight program and, of course, get rid of the mortar launch.
                In terms of price, RocketLab and St. Ilon will lose in any case, without options. So you have to go for it.

                    In this regard, Rocketlab is the most interesting company. And she, in my opinion, has prospects, because the guys there gathered sensible and dexterous. In any case, the technical solutions that they use, for example, the rejection of TNA in favor of the electric drive, are very interesting and lead to lower costs. I am for Rocketlab with 2 hands.

                    As proven reliable people who are modest enough say, the cost of the launches was from $ 14 to $ 32 million. The latter for the breeding of 5 satellites on the MTR, it is the most expensive and in demand today.
                    I found a launch with PN Bigelow Aerospace in 2006 for $ 10 million. That seems to be true.
                    Total, the Dnieper yearned for LEO 3,7 tons for $ 20 - 25 million, somewhere like that. Now there will be no old version of the Dnieper, but something new, I think if there are somewhere between 4 and 4,2 tons per DOE, the price will increase, but not by much. The lower cut-off price is worth $ 10 million.

                    It is not difficult to understand, using the skills of working on a calculator, that with a reserve of 160 R-36 LVs, in the next 10 years the market will be closed to other participants of the light LV services market if the competition is purely price.

                    Most of us, among "civilian" launch vehicles, have cryogenic upper stages. You know? Even RN Proton uses DM blocks.
                    The cryogenic block stands like a regular rocket block. No more, no less. This is an almost serial product that has been produced for many years and is well mastered. It doesn’t need to be specifically designed, it’s enough to select from the catalogs the serial components that have been produced over the past 30–40 years.
                    It is interesting to put the block on a pair of LH2 + LO2, this can increase the mass of the loading capacity up to 4,5 tons, but this is R&D and some capital investments.

                    In any case, the main danger for the Dnieper and Rokot is not Ilon and RocketLab and other startups, but the fact that these LVs belong to the Moscow Region, and not to Roskosmos.

                        On announced terms, SpaceX takes in passing load, provided that there is a place. And brings to the orbit that SpaceX needs, i.e. the owner of the PN should not care where to fly and what to do. There are very few such customers, these are either some student projects or purely scientific ones. That is, these are niche conditions - there are very few such customers and they are not particularly promising. This is not commerce. But Ilon is well done, and he will collect money from the orphaned and wretched.
                        Both Roscosmos and NASA have programs to launch free satellites for educational purposes.
                        Now about the price: 200 kg for $ 1 million. Or based on PN Dnepr - 3 kg for $ 700 million.
                        Compare with $ 10 million for the 3,7 tons of the Dnieper. This is the cheapest known Dnepr launch.
                        You see, the calculator helped us, the comparison is not in favor of SpaceX. Moreover, the Dnepr LV provides not just launching into orbit, but the exact placement of satellites in orbital positions, in contrast to the Sokol's "passing cargo "9. This is very important because this is the objective function, it is an output to a given position relative to other spacecraft.
                        Now there is a clear trend, the conclusion is not of a single spacecraft, but of satellite systems, which are located relative to each other in a certain way. The most expensive launch of the Dnieper LV cost the customer $ 32 million for the launch of 5 satellites on the MTR. A passing start cannot provide anything like that.
                        By the way, as for the prices of competitors.
                        RocketLab displays 150 kg for $ 6,5 million. And even the line was lined up.
                        Esche there are advanced cranks from Firefly. They promise 1 ton for $ 15 million.
                        Both the one and the other specifically loses to RN Dnipro, and I believe RN Rokot, which has a similar economy. And both, I believe, do not have means of disengagement in orbital positions, they do not have upper stages, i.e. Another question is how much it is really in demand, is there really a "queue". It may turn out that this is like with the widely publicized Pegasus of thirty years ago, held out for 20 years at the expense of a couple of launches per year funded by the Pentagon, and then died ...
                        Why all this above? And besides the fact that in the presence of purely price competition, the Dnieper will pour into the toilet for the next 10 years all lightweight LV projects, there will remain St. Ilon with a passing load, and so on, the Chinese, they still have to prove themselves, I believe in them.

Total (I will give the result immediately): $ 1,24 million. Seem to be. But all the booster blocks are different, they are designed separately for each flight.

                        Hydrogen is very difficult, and in the space and in the ground component, and Mask had very good reasons to go to methane, and not hydrogen, despite the fact that the Americans have been flying hydrogen steps all this time, and not in the 88th last year.

                        This is simply not true. Liquid hydrogen was not liked in the 80s because it was expensive and did not know how to work with it. But since then everything has changed. As a fuel, it is better than kerosene and LNG. And Musk is stupid, although I do not want to offend your religious feelings hi In any case, hydrogen is ideal for the upper stages. And with the Dnieper LV there may be an interesting hybrid option: the booster block to the MTR is hydrogen cryogenic and the PN separation block at the position of AT + UDMH, multiple switching. From it will be a beast car!

                        No, it’s different. Here the main problem with the Dnieper LV is that the missile itself and a lot of documentation belong to the military. And all after-sales services, and refueling systems and start, and all specialists with shoulder straps. And that's all. Only accompaniment at Makeev. This may ultimately put an end to the Dnieper.
                        This, and the second, is that in this weighty category, Soyuz-2.1v and Angara-1 are at their disposal, and both of them are more expensive than three-four times, and, accordingly, are more beloved by the performers. These 2 factors can leave the Dnieper pH on Earth.

    ICBMs differ from civilians by their great acceleration during the launch phase. Accordingly, you will have to either upgrade missiles or satellites. But in any case, hemorrhoids with toxic fuel will work. In my humble opinion, it is better to focus on the development and launch of new launch vehicles in a series. The same "Angara" long-suffering.

      You can take a moment and implement whatever the missile, technologically breakthrough, non-military project. For example, to implement a system of emergency missile delivery of equipment and means of saving people and property for polar stations or ships in distress in the ocean. As far as I know, no one has tried to deliver the means of rescue urgently, within tens of minutes, by any means. Then the features of ICBMs, such as mortar launch and the focus of control systems on ground objects will not become problems, as well as high accelerations, to which their new payload will be insensitive. Undoubtedly, an experimental delivery system will be unprofitable, but it will allow gaining experience, then replacing ICBMs with light, specially designed to be profitable, civilian missiles and thus open a new market for services.

          Or do you mean just working out the concept?

          And the first and second and third - the expiration date goes beyond military requirements for military missiles, but this does not mean that they can not actually be applied.
          Missiles are hidden in the mines, protecting them from the influence of enemy weapons, in this case, the mine will not be needed, and if all the same the rocket can’t do without it for technical reasons, then it’s more logical to re-equip the existing closed / abandoned one.
          Initially decommissioned missiles will be needed to work out concepts and gain experience, since immediately from scratch, it will be very expensive to do such a technically advanced project.
          Having said "a", in the future it is possible to say "b" - to learn how to use the means of manned cosmonautics to transfer people-specialists to very distant places of disasters, accidents and catastrophes. They have been able to send into space and return living and healthy people for a long time, now commercial manned astronautics can take the next step - to learn how to deliver, for example, a capable doctor with equipment to a ship or plane that crashed in Antarctica. And this is also an interesting commercial market.

          This is an old and good idea, tried out in the 19th century, but not yet brought to mind. Google "rocket mail".
          But learning how to make automatic rescue rockets capable of lowering a load by parachute or even landing on water or ice, or even on the deck of someone in distress is even better. And the delivery of goods by small rockets can also be used in the open sea or in particularly hard-to-reach places, such as high-altitude terrain for geologists and extreme expeditions, winter quarters for polar explorers, researchers at scientific stations on uninhabited islands, lighthouse keepers - this is how emergency cargo can be delivered - spare parts for radio electronics and electric power equipment and devices, chemicals and consumables, medicines for the victims and ammunition for protection from bears, etc. This is just the field of activity for small private missile companies.

    Can you imagine how much such a launch will cost? Or do you have reasons that such a launch would be cheaper?

    Secondly: The roar is launched from the platform equipped on Plesetsk - the launch pad, on which the LV is installed in the TPK. The Dnieper was launched from Baikonur from a special mine made and equipped at one time for LCI. Baikonur is Kazakhstan ...

    I agree with Rokot. But "Dnepr" was launched not only from Baikonur, but also from the PR of the 13th division. Moreover, 10 out of 22 launches were made from there (45%)

    For space, both stages 1 and 2 are used. It's just that the breeding stage is replaced by a space warhead with its own upper stage. This concerns the "Dnepr" launch vehicle, created on the basis of the R-36M UTTH ICBM
    As for the creation of a launch vehicle on the basis of the "Voevoda". then this can only be done by the manufacturer of the ICBM itself. In addition, it will not be possible to simply remove the breeding stage from the Voevoda. It is structurally part of the ICBM, and is not installed in the process of loading the ICBM into the mine.

      The problem will be caused primarily by a change in the flight program, and this will be required. As I understand it, all the mathematics and cyclograms lie not only in Kharkov and the Dnieper, but also somewhere in the Moscow region, in a good place. If not, then the problem is. But this is in the military, not in Roskosmos. Why Rogozin speaks on this topic is not entirely clear. The rocket belongs to the MO. Maybe they will come to an agreement, but maybe not - this is the main problem when creating a launch vehicle on the "Voevoda" wasp, IMHO.

      This is not clear. Is this the third step? Well, it must be changed to a cryogenic overclocking unit, which is obligatory. 2 lower steps unchanged.
      We'll have to finalize the start, to service the upper ciogenic stage. Well, it’s not difficult, everything can be done in a mobile version, on an auto base, without the construction of masts and platforms. Although the lack of the largest amount of alterations can damage the project.
      The launch cost is somewhere around $ 20-25 million. This is a lot of money if you multiply by 60 pcs. The launch vehicle market of this class is now promoted, in the world there are about 100 startups on launch vehicles of the light class.
      We need to get into it and extinguish our competitors, they just know about the attempts to create a full-fledged launch vehicle at the R-36 base, and are afraid, I somehow read the analytics. All R-36 are registered. lol

      Another thing is that a replacement is already on the way, and 46 (minimum) 15A28 "Sarmat" can be produced and delivered to silos in 3 years maximum, taking into account, by the way, the fact that the SRC is produced by R-29RMU2.1 "Sineva-Liner" will not be loaded in these years just (and so riveted above the roof). And to the new liquid SLBM heavier than the Bulava 3M30 and Sineva, class, for the "older" "Boreev-A" (or "Boreev-B" and SSBN, created on the basis of "Husky") - it will still be far ...

      Don't scold the pianist, he plays as best he can ... 52 tons is the mass of a dry rocket in a TPK. There are no problems for use as a carrier, the Dnepr launch vehicle is a witness to that. It can be launched both from the Baikonur special mine and from the standard silo (with some restrictions). It is required to replace the breeding stage with the upper stage of the satellite (s) and update the control system software. Both have no problems. The participation of our non-brothers is not required, everything you need is already available in Russia.

          Tsiolkovsky also wrote something on the topic. To deliver the "bus" to an understandable range, the rocket needs about 200 tons of fuel. If you add a little metal, in which it will be stored and the mass of TPK, then just what you are looking for will turn out. I hope you are not offended by my arbitrary treatment of tenths and hundredths. The rocket carrier-installer has a saddle load of 25 tons, the mass of the towed semi-trailer is 65 tons.
          The experience of the Russian-Ukrainian joint venture with Dnepr was quite positive. Both for loads and for documentation. And the destruction of a silo during a mortar launch of a rocket is an extremely rare thing in an accident.

It seemed to me that if a person writes "The mass of the road train is 69914 kg, the load on the front axle is 42000 kg, the load on the rear axle is 27914 kg," then he understands what we are talking about. I was wrong. He must also understand that the sum of axle loads must be greater than the weight of the transported cargo. I was wrong. If a person looks at the rear axle of the conveyor-installer, then it should be clear to him that it is clearly not for 200 (-25) tons. I was wrong. You left me no choice, I give a quote.
                  "The project envisaged a" plant-start "scheme, that is, the missile was transported from the manufacturer directly to the silo launcher. This procedure was applied for the first time, and the high reliability of the missile systems was confirmed. finding the rocket in an unprotected state: only along the route.Thus, during the LCI, the technology of preparing the rocket for launch was as follows:
                  1. From the railway platform, the container was loaded onto a transport trolley (crane loading was applied: the container was pulled from the platform onto the trolley). Then the container was transported to the starting position, where in the same way it was moved to the installer, who loaded the container into the silos on vertical and horizontal shock absorbers. This made it possible to move it horizontally and vertically, which increased its security (more precisely, the security of a rocket - author's note) in a nuclear explosion.
                  2. Conducted electrical tests, aiming and input flight mission.
                  3. The rocket refueling began - one of the time-consuming and dangerous operations (one of the most dangerous operations is the production of rocket refueling, and not just its beginning - approx. Author). 180 tons of aggressive components were poured from the mobile refueling tanks into the rocket tanks. I had to work in protective equipment, often at a temperature of more than 30 ° C.
                  4. Docked head part (MIRV or monoblock). Then they proceeded to the final operations. The hinged roof was closed, everything was checked, the hatches were sealed, and the silo was surrendered to the guard of the guard. Since that time, unauthorized access to silos has been excluded. The missile is put on alert, and from that second it can only be controlled by the combat crew of the command post. "(Baikonur. Korolev. Yangel.

                  This description is for R-36M. I hope you do not insist on submitting a description of the preparation of the R-36M2? If not, thanks in advance.
                  And for the mines, it was not worth it so emotionally. To one of six (if memory serves) the first start turned around, there was such a disaster. Then they did without it.
                  The appeal to the Supreme is meaningless, no one in the Strategic Missile Forces, being in good mind, will not exploit the unpredictable 200 tons of toxic explosives.

    As for the creation of a launch vehicle on the basis of the "Voevoda". then this can only be done by the manufacturer of the ICBM itself.

    It’s not clear why?
    The problem will be caused primarily by a change in the flight program, and this will be required. As I understand it, all the mathematics and cyclograms lie not only in Kharkov and the Dnieper, but also somewhere in the Moscow region, in a good place. If not, then the problem is. But this is in the military, not in Roskosmos. Why Rogozin speaks on this topic is not entirely clear. The rocket belongs to the MO. Maybe they will come to an agreement, but maybe not - this is the main problem when creating a launch vehicle on the "Voevoda" wasp, IMHO.

    There is such a term, design support (architectural supervision). Even the extension of the service life until recently was carried out by NPO Yuzhnoye, and only in recent years we agreed that this process is now being carried out by the EMNIP GRTs im. Makeeva. But in fact, this is an amateur activity, and if the manufacturer could bear responsibility if the Dnepr satellites were not withdrawn, now in such a situation they can simply send us away with our claims and declare that they did not do this and did not give permission.
    If you give an example from normal life, for example, you buy an "Audi" and after a while of operation decide to replace the engine, but not with its native one, but for example with a Mercedes one (of course, all this is very conditional). Somewhere in the village, where you will not find traffic policemen with fire in the daytime, you can dissect on this "team hodgepodge". But as soon as you go to the track and run into them, you will get rid of them in full. Roughly the same thing here.
    The control system needs to be modernized, and it can only be modernized by the developer, you yourself have no right to do this (if you want everything to be legal). Well, or should install their own control system.
    A number of R-36M UTTKh ICBMs were converted into the Dnepr carrier. But the rest, if they are in arsenals (in warehouses), lie with the same control system. Some time ago there were rumors that we were going to do our domestic launch vehicle on the basis of the R-36M UTTH instead of the Dnieper, even the name seemed to sound like Don, but then everything died down.

    Quote: Old26
    It is structurally part of the ICBMs,

    This is not clear. Is this the third step? Well, it must be changed to a cryogenic overclocking unit, this is mandatory. 2 lower steps unchanged.

    Yes, in fact, constructively this is the third step. After all, what is the R-36M UTTKh ICBM? At the plant, the first and second stages of this ICBM are docked. All this is placed in the TPK and sent to the positional area of ​​the division (intermediate stages such as the arsenal, etc., I omit). Next, this transport and launch container is placed in the silos, the cap is removed from the TPK, the APB (hardware-instrument unit) is installed, or as it is sometimes called the dilution stage. Then, warheads and a head fairing are installed on this APB (SR) (I omitted part of the operations).

    As for the "Voevoda", apart from the first and second stages, the breeding stage is also installed at the plant in TPK. Yes, in fact, this is constructively the third stage of an ICBM. And the operations to install the APB when working with ICBMs in the mine are no longer performed. If the APB on the R-36M UTTKh ICBM can be removed when the missile is removed from the silo, which was done, then the same stage of disengagement on the Voevoda simply cannot be removed. This is part of the rocket. That is, in fact, we illegally, without author's control, must remove one stage and instead install a space stage booster.

    Quote: Mityai65
    We'll have to finalize the start, to service the upper ciogenic stage. Well, it’s not difficult, everything can be done in a mobile version, on an auto base, without the construction of masts and platforms. Although the lack of the largest amount of alterations can damage the project.
    The launch cost is somewhere around $ 20-25 million. This is a lot of money if you multiply by 60 pcs. The launch vehicle market of this class is now promoted, in the world there are about 100 startups on launch vehicles of the light class.
    We need to get into it and extinguish our competitors, they just know about the attempts to create a full-fledged LV on the R-36 base, and are afraid, I somehow read the analytics. All R-36 are registered. lol
    It seems to miss such a stupid thing.

    "Dnepr" was launched from a standard silo launcher of ICBM R-36M UTTH. It's just that the entire launch vehicle did not fit into the silo and the space warhead protruded from the silo. Accordingly, the protective device (shaft cover) did not close. If we upgrade the remaining R-36M UTTH (and how many of them are left - HZ), then nothing will have to be altered in the starting system. But if you use the Voevoda (R-36M2) instead of the R-36M UTTH, the work will have to be done, because even the Voevoda ICBM was not installed in the mine from the UTTH without modernizing the latter.
    The launch price, according to open sources in the region of 10 million dollars (although this is information about 3-5 years ago)
    The market (theoretical) may be of the order of 100), but in fact 2019 carriers were launched in 97, of which about 60-70 were light and medium.
    And even in the best times of relations with Ukraine, there were 1-2 such launches per year. As far as possible now to use the removed missiles - KhZ. R-36M UTTH were removed from combat duty 5-7 years ago, R-36M2 "Voyevoda" on the database now, God forbid, that there are a couple of dozen. How much is in storage - I don't know. They, too, cannot be stored indefinitely. According to START-3, the number of non-deployed delivery vehicles cannot exceed 100. And this includes ICBMs, SLBMs and strategic bombers

    Write off before it’s too late. Without support from Ukraine, these missiles a priori cannot be on alert.

They didn’t need ICBMs and in figs, and so everything went well, and the plans were only atomic bombs with which their bombers would iron the USSR.
      But the USSR needed either aircraft with a longer range than the United States in order to reach the United States, or missiles. The missiles turned out faster, and the withdrawal of Sputnik-1 greatly defused the tension in the world, because it turned out that atomic bombs were already reaching the United States.
      All American nonsense and propaganda about their flights into space, and to the Moon - the USA’s simple desire is to keep a good face on a bad game, they were not on the Moon, but Dzhemeni and Mercury, on which they supposedly flew into space, finally look like the creation of pioneers schoolchildren.

        Americans didn’t build ICBMs at that time, and they didn’t make any separate rockets for satellites ...

        The Americans, naturally, were ahead of the USSR in missiles. But there were several circumstances.

        1. Pest-recidivists Korolev and Glushko promised their native Soviet power to blow up the bourgeoisie. We received two steamers of folk money under this topic. each and the topic of the ICBMs was safely overwhelmed. Referring to the heavy, made with the ax, Soviet hydrogen bombs, they planted a rocket of enormous power and weight, sacrificing, first of all, launch characteristics. As a result, the seven could raise an elephant into space, but could not be on combat duty, especially when lying in the basement, like Atlas. In addition, hefty, few, insanely expensive and well-known to the Americans launchers reduced the combat value of the seven to almost zero.

        The first Soviet ICBM - R-16 Yangel with a mine launch.

        On the other hand, Korolev and Glushko remained forever in history, and few people know who Yangel is.

        2. The adventurer and voluntarist Khrushchev did not send the Queen and Glushko back to the Gulag, as Comrade Comrade would have done. Stalin, but bought on Korolev’s idea to insert a hairpin to the Americans and get around them in launching a satellite for the international year of geophysics. Initially, this seemed like a meaningless flag-stick, but the PR result exceeded all and all expectations.

        3. Mr. Eisenhower, 34th President of the United States, hated the American military (or rather the military-industrial complex) (yes, such a general Eisenhower was a man) and harmed her as much as he could. In addition, he hated the Nazis, especially the SS, and personally Sturmbannführer Werner von Braun. Therefore, when in the 55th year it was a question of launching a satellite in the international year of geophysics, there was no question of launching the most successful American rocket at that time - the fonbrownsky ​​Jupiter - and the Americans began to make a separate rocket for this task. Firstly, the Fleet, which did not know how to make rockets, began to do it, secondly, from available (actually commercial) components, and thirdly, the rocket specifically for a tiny satellite (Vanguard-1 weighed 1,5 kg), due to with which the rocket itself weighed 10 tons (seven in the Sputnik version - 267 tons). Only when it became clear that the naval ones were crap (the first launch of the Vanguard on 06.12.1957/8/1957 with a large concentration of presses turned out to be emergency, after three successful tests), was von Braun allowed to launch the Explorer. For launch, a spare copy of the rocket flying on the tests on August XNUMX, XNUMX was used without any alterations (they say that von Braun already tried to quietly screw the satellite onto this rocket, but this was undermined by the Soviet authorities anti-fascists from the U.S. Air Force).

          Again, Americans did not have any ICBMs. The United States had airfields in Europe, England, Japan, Turkey, from where flying fortresses were supposed to bomb the territory of the USSR. The USSR did not have planes that reached the United States, therefore, Soviet "saboteurs" created intercontinental missiles. And to demonstrate to the United States that they are no longer invulnerable, they launched a satellite.
          Brown made tactical missiles, and with some stretch, medium-range missiles, they are an order of magnitude cheaper than intercontinental missiles, and they can also be launched from England, Japan, and Turkey. That is, the United States did not have the economic and political need to do ICBMs. But I had to make some mock-ups that mimic ICBMs, when the USSR had intercontinental missiles, to preserve a pure image. Then all these American first-generation ICBMs were simply cut into scrap metal, and that would be many millions of dollars, even billions would ... For some reason, launching a satellite with these missiles was not at all practiced, and the USSR used the used ICBMs to launch satellites, it is much more profitable than just sawing. Just because the first American ICBMs were fakes, they sawed them. And for the same reason they never were on the Moon, all the cosmonauts of the Earth, until 1975, approximately, maybe later, this is a list of launches from the Baikonur Cosmodrome.
          This is reality.

    As far as I know, no one has tried to deliver the means of rescue urgently, within tens of minutes, by any means. Then the features of ICBMs, such as mortar launch and the focus of control systems on ground targets will not become problems, as well as high accelerations, to which their new payload will be insensitive. Undoubtedly, an experimental delivery system will be unprofitable, but it will allow gaining experience, then replacing ICBMs with light, specially designed to be profitable, civilian missiles and thus open a new market for services

    Almost 20 years ago such a project was, however, based on the ICBM UR-100N UTTH. The payload in one case is 420 kg, in the other 2500 kg. Not implemented ...

    Once the USSR did a great job - instead of building special rockets for launching man into space, engineers put accelerators on a ballistic missile and launched Gagarin, ahead of the amers. They built a separate, just different rocket and fell behind. If the Voivode attach side boosters and run to the moon - you can again get ahead of the amers!

    For starters, can you learn the materiel before writing such posts? What accelerators were put on the ballistic missile R-7? A war rocket has been added ONE step - third
    The fact that the Americans were ahead of the first space launch is an indisputable fact. Only they did not build any "separate" rocket. The first two suborbital launches were on the Redstone rocket without any additions, and the first orbital launches were on the Atlas rocket. Also without any finishing touches
    And if you add sidewalls to the Voevoda, it will be possible to hand over this rocket for scrap. The cost of such a redesign would be much more than creating a new launch vehicle.

    You have to understand "Atlas" you do not consider an intercontinental missile. But the first experimental launch was on June 6, 1957, less than a month after the first launch of the royal R-7. And, unlike the royal R-7, it was deployed not in the amount of 6 copies, but in the amount of 129. Connoisseur, damn it

      Neither ICBMs, nor flights into space, they didn’t get along for a long time, the USSR was 10-20 years ahead of them in all respects. But the American mentality does not allow them to be second, so they falsified, lied, dodged as they could. A flight to the moon was invented, although not a single astronaut at that time could even be delivered to Earth’s orbit. It is a pity that the leadership of the USSR betrayed and sold its people ...

    What gases are emitted? In the process of fuel combustion? THE SAME. Both ICBMs have the same fuel vapor.
    What is the difference between "Sarmat" and "Voevoda"? For this you need to have the entire set of design documentation at hand. But the fact that the two missiles were created with a difference of 30 years and at two different firms suggests that there are many differences

    The most common misconception. The first X-15 enrollment with NASA was in 1957. Even if you do not consider it a space program, the first military set of astronauts in the United States was in 1958, the first set of NASA in 1959. The first set of CPC Air Force in the USSR was carried out in 1960.

The first time the Germans did this in Peenemuende, as far as I know, then the same FAA flew already in the States with equipment, as a geophysical rocket. In the USSR, the R-1A flew in the 49th, it seems.

      This is 100% false and American propaganda! "Mercury", like "Gemeni", never flew into space, hence the huge doubt about the possibility of suborbital flights. They would then have figured out that it is IMPOSSIBLE to plant the actors like they do in Gemeni or in Mercury. This is not a fighter that takes off from an aircraft carrier, from a catapult, but this is exactly how the Americans imagined it. But the scheme of the East, as there Gagarin was located, was declassified decades later, and that's not all. But it is quite visible how the cosmonaut's body is located in relation to the axis of acceleration. In Mercury-Gemeni, the legs are high-high, the body is slightly forward, and the head is at the very bottom. 5 within 5 minutes, and the troupes from cerebral hemorrhage, I guarantee. And from the catapult of an aircraft carrier, three seconds, maximum, the overloads last.
      This is not counting the main argument when Amstrong said that stars are not visible in space. If his words were then shown on television in the USSR, the whole country would have laughed ...

    Well, if specifically about a suborbital flight without a payload (I do not consider explosives), then yes, the Germans were the first. EMNIP climbed 193 km. But in principle, when it comes to suborbital ones always mean manned. Although yes, of course, the Americans had programs at the beginning of the 50s and started ex. FAA already with payload

      Pretty strange to hear. I clarified this point in posts. Personally, I generally believe that the manned space program, as we know it, is an accident. The result of the Soviet championship in space and the absurdly powerful royal rocket, which allowed to launch a man (having no other purpose than to launch a man). With the normal development of this topic, the next big step after the Vanguard would be the Crown and, accordingly, Thor-Agena. We would have reached the manned space program much later and much more modestly. So, in a sense, Sputnik is a consequence of Eisenhower's fakaps, and Armstrong is the result of the successes of Khrushchev / Korolev))).

      Absolutely all ICBMs can put a satellite into orbit. The USSR did just that, having served the ICBM term, launched a satellite into orbit. This is much more profitable than just sawing on a color.
      The United States destroyed all of its first series of ICBMs without launching satellites ... The model cannot put a payload into orbit, this is a fact. In fact, they showed inflatable mock-ups to the Soviet Union, like we also have this, we can do it too, and our American is the best in the world.
      And because initially they relied on aviation and the fleet. They had no economic, political, military reasons to do ICBMs. But this was vital to the Soviet Union, which did not have a large fleet, and could not bomb the territory of the United States, because there were neither bombers of such range, nor aircraft carriers from the USSR. Only missiles could solve this problem, or create ultra-long-range aviation. Missiles came out much earlier.

      Old Voivods can be profiled for other tasks, that is, to defeat aircraft carriers with kinetic weapons, for which you can change nuclear warheads to the third stage with a detection system - guidance to the AOG, and metal striking cores. A large powerful missile can lift a stage with cores above the ocean to a height about 5 thousand km and look at the surface of the ocean in a square of 2 thousand km per 2 thousand km of an aircraft carrier and then begin to decrease while simultaneously adjusting the trajectory and pointing at the aircraft carrier, Before entering different layers of the atmosphere, the descent speed will reach 7 km / s the guidance of the cores will stop and they will cover the rest of the trajectory, about 100-150 km in uncontrollable mode for 15-20 seconds, during this time the aircraft carrier will not be able to significantly change course or speed to avoid falling cores on the deck.
