Phantom Express: the end of yet another American dream of accessible space

114

Is space our?


The attention of the whole world is riveted to Ilon Mask, who in all seriousness declares his desire to move a million people to Mars. Of no less interest are the very real successes of SpaceX in creating a relatively cheap and affordable medium - Falcon 9. In Russia, they traditionally discuss Angara, promising "Federation" and "Soyuz-5", and also dream of landing on a satellite of our planet.

At the same time, many lose sight of the rapid militarization of outer space, which, if it has not reached the time of the Cold War, is eager to strive for it. The United States is making the most efforts in this direction, having, of course, the most money and the greatest technical capabilities.



Recall that in 2013, the American defense research agency DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) announced the launch of the XS-1 program, the purpose of which was to obtain an inexpensive reusable device that could quickly put a small satellite or satellites into orbit. The payload was supposed to be about one and a half tons at a launch price of around five million dollars. This is extremely small - more than ten times less than the launch price of the Falcon 9 mentioned above and even lower than the launch cost of Rocket Lab’s latest ultra-light Electron rocket. Recall that now for the orbit of small military satellites, the United States uses a disposable Minotaur IV lightweight launch vehicle that can bring payloads weighing up to 1725 kilograms into low Earth orbit (DOE). In 2013, the price of one launch of this carrier was $ 50 million ...

There is another feature of the XS-1. Perhaps even more significant. According to the requirements, the promising device was supposed to provide ten launches in ten days. No other existing or even promising medium is capable of this.


American History XS


A number of companies expressed their desire to participate in the program, which was soon renamed XSP. In the end, DARPA elected Boeing and Aerojet Rocketdyne. The latter was supposed to deliver an engine, namely the AR-22. At the heart of the design of this engine are developments on the RS-25, which was previously installed on Space Shuttle.

The device itself was seen as a spaceplane with a consumable second stage, which satellites were supposed to display. The reusable carrier had to come back after landing and sit down, like a regular airplane. Phantom Express was supposed to take off vertically. The size of the spaceplane should have been comparable with the size of a large twin-engine fighter of the fourth generation or even slightly larger.


In 2018, it became known that Boeing began construction of the first Phantom Express flight model. As of November of the year before last, they completed the production of a fuel tank for liquid oxygen and began production of a tank for liquid hydrogen. As the first flight, Phantom Express was called the year 2021.

Winners ... are judged


The future of the complex seemed bright: Boeing had enormous experience in the space industry, and the state generously paid for a promising undertaking. Back in 2017, the company as the winner of the competition received $ 146 million for the project, which, of course, was only the beginning.

However, in January 2020, Boeing suddenly refused to participate in the program. And he did it in a very original way. “After a detailed review, Boeing immediately terminates its participation in the Experimental Spaceplane (XSP) program,” said company spokesman Jerry Drelling. “Now we will redirect our investments from XSP to other Boeing programs that cover the maritime, air and space sectors.” DARPA confirmed that the company notified the agency of its decision to withdraw from the Phantom Express development program.

Boeing’s solution, actually ending the XSP program, adds another chapter to history DARPA's failed efforts to develop a low-cost affordable medium. Earlier, we recall that the agency launched the ALASA program: the F-15 Eagle fighter was chosen as the platform. He had to launch a rocket that would put small satellites into orbit. In 2015, the program was closed after a series of unsuccessful trials.


The first reason for the new failure is seen (at least from the outside) as Boeing’s grave problems caused by the crash of the Boeing 737 MAX near Jakarta in 2018 and the crash of the same aircraft near Addis Ababa in March 2019. Recall that in both cases, the experts blamed the MCAS stabilization system, which made the aircraft uncontrollable under certain circumstances. Further checks revealed numerous security breaches, and it was not only about MCAS.

Recently, Boeing shares during trading on the Nasdaq US stock exchange lost 4%: this happened after the company announced a delay in the resumption of flights of 737 MAX aircraft. Recall, the airline said that it expects the model 737 MAX to return to service no earlier than in the middle of this year. By the standards of the modern world, this is a lot.

New opportunities


Most likely, we will never know about the real state of affairs in the case of Phantom Express and the reasons for rejecting the program. However, it is worth noting one more important circumstance. The fact is that the United States already has at its disposal a reusable and multi-purpose spacecraft. We are talking about the unmanned spacecraft Boeing X-37: like his brother, he takes off vertically and lands like an airplane. Theoretically, a spaceplane can be used to put various spacecraft into orbit.

However, there is one important difference from Phantom Express. The X-37B is launched into orbit in the head fairing of a conventional launch vehicle. This, undoubtedly, will not allow achieving profitability indicators, at least remotely comparable with those of Phantom Express.

At the same time, the X-37 itself has even more secrets than a failed spaceship: the public still does not know why the US military needs such an apparatus. Someone sees it simply as a test bench for working out technologies for launching satellites into space, while others say that we can talk about a prototype of a “space interceptor”.

Phantom Express: the end of yet another American dream of accessible space

One thing is clear: the capabilities of the X-37 are more than serious. In October last year, the American spacecraft set a new record, having been in orbit for more than two years, namely - 780 days. At that time, the number of days spent in orbit under this program was 2865 days. The X-37B mini-shuttle “is capable of forming an orbit that looks like an egg and, when it is near the Earth, it is close enough to the atmosphere to turn around at that moment. So, our enemies do not know this, because everything happens on the opposite side of the Earth. And we are aware that this is driving them crazy. I’m very glad, ”said former US Air Force Minister Heather Wilson, which added confidence to the conspiracy theorists.

            It is necessary to send them "help" in the form of Rogozin (he will even "land" successful projects and bury them) and Solovyov in order to "sing".

            it is natural when the economy develops, "debt" grows, as banks give loans to businesses. And when the interest on lending goes off scale, then of course the debts do not grow, there is no business, the population sucks its paws and the government cuts the pension ... fellow

                Well, this debt has been given to you. Imagine that, roughly speaking, your annual income is 1 year, you go to the bank and take a loan for 10-20 years in the amount of your annual earnings! Do you need to be considered bankrupt after that? If you pay interest on time, then the bank that gave you the loan will only pray for your well-being and prosperity. But no one will force you to repay the entire amount at once. It is the same with the state debt of the mattress, so long as they service their debt in a timely manner and in proper amount about their financial collapse can not start. with such a editnoy history of wanting to give them a loan will only be added.

The whole joke in the new missiles is new materials, more advanced control systems and more modern production technology than in the 50-60s, which can improve the quality of old structures and increase the payload. So far, Musk has not organized a manned flight.

          If it's not a secret, what "difficult goals" does Musk set in astronautics? The resumption of American manned space exploration after a nearly ten-year absence? Well, probably it was difficult for the 70s of the last century. What else? Reusable media? Why is it needed? For the sake of reducing the start-up cost? Here at the cost price and compare. But even winning the launch price cannot be considered an ambitious task in space exploration. Is that for an American huckster. What is it, the Martian expedition? Let's not make people laugh. Musk does not even have hypothetical possibilities to solve such a problem.
          The nearest ambitious and at the same time real task for mankind is the base on the moon. Here on it and see who really solves ambitious tasks, and who only puffs out her cheeks.

    The first reason for the new failure is seen (at least from the outside) as Boeing’s grave problems caused by the crash of the Boeing 737 MAX near Jakarta in 2018 and the crash of the same aircraft near Addis Ababa in March 2019.

    This excuse does not work, because other people are responsible for the development of space technology, and funding is provided through defense programs and it has been approved in advance by the legislative order. Those. no organizational difficulties and financing problems exist for this project, which means that most likely the unsolvability of technical problems, and the inability to present to the customer something that actually meets the TTZ, has led to the rejection of this work.

        You can talk as much as you like about the "old" after the loss of almost all commercial orders, only that the facts from this will not cease to be facts: the rockets are flying, being modernized, ships are flying, tests are passing, satellites are already being made 7 pieces a day, work on the interplanetary system is underway ...

    NEW YORK CITY, January 31. / TASS /. On Thursday, the American company Rocket Lab launched into orbit with the help of the Electron launch vehicle a secret vehicle in the interests of the US National Aerospace Intelligence Administration (NIOCR). The launch took place from a commercial spaceport located on the Mahia Peninsula in New Zealand, Rocket Lab reported.

    "We continue to complete 100% successful customer missions," the company, headquartered in Huntington Beach, California, said on Twitter. Rocket Lab accepted congratulations from NUVKR, noting that it considers it an honor to cooperate with the department.

    The activities of the NUVKR, which controls the US intelligence satellites, are highly classified. There is no official information about the purpose of the device and its cost. Officially, the mission to withdraw NROL-151 is called "Birds of a Feather".

    The length of the two-stage Electron launch vehicle is 17 m, the diameter is 1,2 m, and the launch weight is 12,5 tons. The weight of the rocket payload is not more than 225 kg. In the first stage there are nine Rutherford engines, in the second - one jet unit of the same model.
    The launch cost is $ 5 million. This is the "end" of the available space.

      According to custom, they lied. For Electron we have:
      That 150 kg per orbit costs $ 5 million.
      And 225 kg costs $ 6,5 million.
      Catch the difference?
      At such prices, the cost of removing the payload of the Soyuz-2.1b launch vehicle - the weight of the payload of 8250 kg will be 238 million $ !!!. Despite the fact that the factory cost of the Soyuz launch vehicle is in the region of $ 7-8 million.
      This is apofigey. With such prices, Electron will very quickly go into oblivion if it competes in the open market. His salvation is precisely the orders of the Pentagon for the polar orbits, these are mainly the orbits of reconnaissance satellites. On this he is kept afloat, just as Ilona was once held.

              This is not true. It is a question of opening a new launch complex in the USA, in addition to the existing one. Probably both will exist in parallel for some time.
              A new launch complex opens at the urgent request of the Pentagon to launch satellite reconnaissance from national territory (interestingly, did you know this when you wrote about Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport ?? !!). The Pentagon demanded this, and RocketLab took it under the peak.
              Notice, the cosmodrome in N.Zelandia is located at 39 degrees south latitude, and the new one at 37 north latitude. At the same distance from the equator. This is again a spaceport for launching into orbits with a strong inclination.

We strive to report our work and activities in a language that is understandable and appreciated by the whole circle of people in military and civilian positions who are interested in our work - from technical experts who need to know to people who simply consider our mission important and our achievements are exciting. ”
    Here is a list of topics for today (out of 200):
    “OFFSET Swarm system integrators demonstrate urban raid tactics.
    In a third field experiment under the DARPA Offensive Swarm-Tactics (OFFSET) program, swarms of autonomous air and ground vehicles were deployed to demonstrate the raid in urban areas. The OFFSET program provides for the creation of up to 250 cooperative autonomous systems providing critical information for small ground units in urban areas where limited lines of sight and limited spaces can hide dangers and limit mobility and communications. ”
    “Protection of Broadband RF Systems in Overloaded Electromagnetic Environments”
    “The Gremlins program completed the first flight tests of the X-61A”
    “DARPA selected and named teams to compete for the best passage of littered underground mines and tunnels”
    “Drinking water, on request and from the air.
    Providing drinking and drinking water for deployed servicemen operating in conditions of limited resources or difficult conditions is not an easy task. Logistic teams face a greater risk of water delivery and often suffer losses that could have been prevented. ”
    Etc. - Only about 200 projects. It is clear that not everyone will have a positive result, but the search for the new and the advanced will continue. The agency’s budget for 2020 is $ 3.5bn.
    Therefore, Boeing’s refusal from the DARPA program, I think, will not stop the search for cheap launches very much. Moreover, the number of companies to provide cheap launches has grown so much that even brokerage firms have appeared that are looking for your kg satellite weight cheap rockets at km altitude! And the US military also collaborates with little-known companies for low-cost launches.
    By the way - another company proposed to launch satellites by centrifuges and spin them into orbit, literally!
    “The company is building a huge centrifuge to accelerate rockets and send them into space.”

    One very clever Russian, of Italian origin, said "if you are lagging behind someone, it is not at all necessary to catch up with him, it is enough to cut across." By investing in the Mask, the United States is trying to cross the line, they really need a technological breakthrough at any cost, otherwise their leadership is a kirdyk with all the ensuing consequences.

    However, in January 2020, Boeing suddenly refused to participate in the program.

    We will now redirect our investment from XSP to other Boeing programs that cover the maritime, air and space sectors.

    This usually means that encouraging results have appeared and the mentioned program is becoming top secret as well as the sources of its further funding. But it is possible that Boeing's actions have both the 2nd and 3rd levels of meanings. Cowboys have a saying: "If you can count to 10, stop at 8."

    Through trial and error, independence from time, the United States is looking for the best options for creating reliable aerospace technology. Degrees of risk are undoubtedly present here, but they go and look. And he who is seriously looking will always find. To the great regret, Russia has long gone to 2 or already to 3 plan. The second is China. And the problems are not only in financing, but not in the lack of formation of the space program. We shuffle from side to side, instead of concentrating resources in the main directions. Billions we swell in different projects, and then we refuse. Who defines everything - "Effective Managers"? The fundamental science in the space industry and the opinion of experts are destroyed. There are practically none. What are we creating now, at what stage and what is the prospect? What have we achieved in the space industry and research over the past 20 years? We noted an unprecedented theft at such important state facilities as the spaceport. Imagine what is happening a little lower! Everyone is already silent - there is nothing to say, just verbiage. It's a shame for the state.

      Explain what did not please? Then I can correctly, enthusiastically write. What is not true that they stole and steal? All media talked about this and criminal cases one after another. What is not true when there is no formation of promising scientific research? What is not true, that hundreds of billions are spent on the implementation of projects and all in vain. This only confirms the lack of well-formed programs, ignoring the opinions of science and specialists. And is it not true that over the past 20 years there has been no significant success, except for a taxi in the form of "Unions"? And, what is wrong, what kind of power is insulting? They banned me, they still didn’t even say a word. That’s the whole and lying essence. Comrades are on the right track, Europe will appreciate you.

    The magnetic field is negligible. And even having restored the atmosphere, cosmic radiation will kill all living things.

    If the atmosphere is restored, then it will absorb a significant part of cosmic radiation.
    The atmosphere is negligible, and even restore the atmosphere is pointless, it will fly into space.

    Will fly away, yes, due to low gravity and blowing away by the solar wind. But how fast? If the speed of its reproduction is greater than or equal, then everything is OK.
    Water is negligible. And the one that is unsuitable.
    There are no soils at all, hypothetical plants on the surface of Mars are impossible, which means it is impossible to create soil, to conduct terramorphing.
    Gravity is many times less. If you can still return to Earth, then your descendants are doomed to survive in that hell forever!

    Perhaps it’s so ... sad
    The absence of the ozone layer and oxygen in general means UV irradiation of the surface, which is deadly for all living things, all hypothetical plants that are supposed to conduct terramorphing are simply impossible, they will be burned out by the Sun.

    If the atmosphere is restored, this implies the presence of oxygen in it, respectively, and the ozone layer. Personally, I doubt that even the absence of ozone will be a problem for all plants. For example, in high latitudes it will not be important. And people will sunbathe less.
    The average temperature on Earth is +14 degrees, on Mars -63 degrees. Some plants for terramorphing, for pumping the atmosphere, are practically impossible. The hypothetical maximum is insignificant lichens at the equator, with a meager efficiency in biomass and oxygen.

    Yes, first an atmosphere with a greenhouse effect, then plant life.
    Having recreated the atmosphere (sisisoph labor), we may raise it to a plus, but all the same, life, theoretically, will be possible only at the Equator. But in practice, we are not able to pump up the atmosphere in principle. Technically unable to deliver about 10 ^ 15 tons of gases to Mars.
    As well as deliver water. For example, on Earth, its billion cubic kilometers.

    As far as I understand, nobody is talking about the "import" of gases or water. Contemplate getting everything there or from redirected comets, although the results of these reflections are not encouraging. All this is now on the brink of fantasy, or even beyond. In any case, as long as we humans build tanks and invent bombs for mutual destruction, and not technologies for universal salvation. But the Earth, apparently, is also far from eternal.

    Americans at least try to reduce the cost of space. And with us, on the contrary, all hope for expensive places in the Unions. Without them, even with all the subsidies, the space program in Russia will collapse. We have already surrendered all our positions and rolled into a miserable orbital cab, but we are not quite able to cope here either - remember the entire underwater constellation of satellites. And in this light, how dare we reproach American efforts in space in general? We ourselves are full of seams, we would be silent and correct the situation, but we just laugh.

    Mask has been a meme lately. But for most people, all his statements cause a smile. As we say, all his crafts are a terrible collective farm

    The past quarter of the year ended with Tesla's record revenue of $ 7,384 billion, an increase in annual terms of 17%, and in quarterly terms - by 2%. The total gross margin in quarterly terms increased by 72 basis points - from 4,1% to 4,9% (but the annual decline was 87 basis points); GAAP operating profit was $ 359 million, which corresponds to a 38% increase in quarterly terms and a 13% decline in annual terms. Operating expenses rose slightly - from $ 1,029 billion to $ 1,032 billion. Of these, $ 345 million was spent on R&D, compared to $ 356 million a year earlier.
    Prospects
    Production (Fremont): Model S / Model X - 90, Model 000 / Model Y - 3 machines per year
    Production (Shanghai): Model 3 - 150 cars per year
    - Throughout 2020, car deliveries must exceed 500 units. Due to the production of Model 000 in Shanghai and Model Y in Fremont, production is likely to outstrip deliveries this year.
    - Solar and energy storage systems should increase by at least 50% in 2020.
    - We plan that the production volume of Model Y will be equivalent to Model 3.
    - We expect continued positive free cash flow in the quarters of 2020 with possible temporary exceptions, especially
    due to the launch of a new product line. We continue to believe that our business has grown to the level of self-financing.
    - We expect that in the future a positive GAAP net income will be received, with the exception of possible temporary quarters due to the launch of new products of the company.
    - We plan to produce limited volumes of Tesla Semi this year.
    - We will begin the first deliveries of Model Y by the end of the first quarter of 2020.
    - Production of Model Y in Shanghai will begin in 2021.
    - The first deliveries of cars with GigaFactory 4 in Germany are planned in 2021.
    - FSD (Full Self Driving) - full autonomous driving function

    That’s why they clung to Mars?
    Mars is a dead planet.


    On Mars, you can create settlements, such as those on Antarctica, only underground and with greater autonomy, and this with the existing technical capabilities. Put reactors there, extract minerals and try to reach self-sufficiency of 1% - 5% - 10%, etc. You can get fuel for flights.
    .

    So on the moon it is even easier to do.
    What for far dead Mars, if there is a close and much more important Moon for the Earth?
