The United States recognized the impossibility of replacing the Russian rocket engine RD-180

The United States still does not have its own rocket engine such as the Russian RD-180, and it will not be possible to find a replacement until at least 2030. This is stated in the report of analysts of the US Congress, prepared for American lawmakers, reports RT.

According to the drafters of the report, at the moment the United States has nothing to replace the Russian rocket engine, since the proposed alternatives cannot achieve the same results as the RD-180 demonstrates. The creation of its own domestic rocket engine with similar characteristics will take at least 10 years.

Even in the case of a smooth and exactly on schedule transition from RD-180 to other engines or launch vehicles, it is likely that the performance and reliability indicators currently achieved using the RD-180 can only be reproduced much later than 2030

- the report says.



Particularly in the report, it was emphasized that the search for an alternative to the Russian RD-180 in the United States was undertaken in 2015, immediately after the imposition of sanctions against Russia due to the situation in Ukraine and Moscow’s response, and so far have not been successful. According to American laws and adopted documents, the United States must abandon the use of Russian engines, but this will happen no earlier than 2024.

Meanwhile, it became known about the estimated launch date for the ISS American manned spacecraft with crew. According to RIA News citing a source in the Russian space and rocket industry, a tentative start is scheduled for May this year.

According to data received from the American side, the launch of the first Crew Dragon ship with crew is scheduled for May 20

- the agency leads the words of the source.

          I think it won't. There, private space traders are stepping on the heels of state corporations with their rockets, possibly with more ecological engines. And the Chinese will not sit on our engines for a long time. We need next generation engines that are economical and environmentally friendly.

              RD-180 is based on RD-170 developed.
              Well, what geniuses worked in the USSR, that the United States and forty years later, with the furious development of technology, are not something that can be surpassed, but they cannot even be compared.

                This is not the first year I have heard this. If it happens in the middle of the year, well, I will be glad for the Americans, after all, the progress of humanity. In the meantime, what our fathers and grandfathers did in the early 60s, Americans have already forgotten how to do for 9 years (nine Karl!). And this is for all their "progress", as they claim. And about the moon, vague doubts arise. Despite the fact that they did not have the collapse of the 90s, there were no wars and revolutions, on the contrary, they seemed to develop dynamically. What happened to the US space industry?

                  And about the moon, vague doubts arise.

                  And here there is no doubt. They simply did not have the necessary technology, they did not even know then about their need. An example of a docking, the Americans did it several times for each flight in the absence of docking nodes. Now it takes almost a day to "steer" for docking, and you need several low-power correction engines. They took off from the moon and immediately docked perfectly. Without correction engines, they simply did not exist, as well as docking stations. Another example, spacesuits, in which they dashingly pranced on the moon. A modern spacesuit for work in open space looks more impressive and weighs many times more, but in it such freedom of movement (as they demonstrate) cannot be achieved. Another example, on the topic of the article. When the Apollos were at the start, gases, oxygen and hydrogen were released, several tons per hour. But on Earth, the breeze carried away, but where did it go when hovering in orbit? That's right, there were many tons of ... strong explosives accumulating near the ship. And what happens if you light up the motor? That's right, big boom. But it was impossible to ignite it there. For oxygen and hydrogen in the tanks (they are cryogenic) had to collect in the center. And the fuel pumps sucked from the bottom of the tank. What? Emptiness, vacuum. And flying back is just a song of idiocy. A two-hole scheme, a very very narrow corridor of entry into the atmosphere, ideally accurate speed (otherwise it will burn out or forever be thrown away from the Earth). And the orientation system (in this case it can be compared to a sight) allows you to hit, at best, a target the size of a door from a couple of meters. As they said then about these systems (used to direct cameras) - a drunk monkey on a galloping mustang will aim better. And it was necessary to hit a flying bullet from a distance of ten kilometers (I remind you about the absence of correcting engines). With one start of the main engine, perfectly orienting the ship and giving the engine a perfectly precisely calculated impulse. It is impossible even now, impossible in principle. You can continue for a very long time.

          The head of SpaceX, a well-known entrepreneur and inventor, Ilon Musk, called the Russian RD-180 engine excellent in terms of design.

          “It's a shame that Lockheed Martin and Boeing are forced to use the Russian engine on Atlas. But his design is flawless, ”Musk wrote on his microblog on Twitter.

          The RD-180 liquid rocket engine is designed and manufactured by NPO Energomash JSC. It is intended for use as part of the American Atlas launch vehicles.

    RushTudey in his own style. The main headline is cheer-patriotic.

    If very short:
    RD-180 is the first stage engine of the Atlas-5 launch vehicle from ULA. This pH almost does not fly.
    In 2019, out of 27 launches in the USA, Atlas-5 flew only 2 times (Karl!)
    RD-180 is not a US problem, it is a ULA specific problem. Although this is not a problem.
    ULA to replace the Atlas-5 is made by the Volcano LV, the engine for which is made by BlueOrigin (Jeff Bezos, Amazon). The BE-4 engine is made methane.

    Of course, that such headlines here on RushTudey and then on VO are nothing more than a miserable magazine-mug stew for cheers who know nothing about the space industry at all, but they all know, this is just a mess from the headlines of the Republic of Tatarstan and other RIA .

                    In fact, we are talking about 30+ thousand satellites of the future grouping (network), in the 30s. If anything.
                    12 thousand satellites, this is the basic figure of the plan at the moment. This is what they plan to bring out by 2024.
                    1584 satellites, this is the first turn to cover the United States. They will reach this figure in a year and a half. This year, 24 launches are planned for Starlink, with 60 vehicles on board. While they are launching in two weeks. But I think the pace will slow down later. But by the end of the year, a thousand will be recruited. Despite the fact that they will have 300 pieces with today's launch.

                    No one has done this yet, no one has worked with such volumes and synchronization of information. They are now pioneers in the nascent megastore of the foreseeable future.
                    Now this market by the 30s is estimated at 100+ billion dollars. Where space plans to hold 40-50% of the market.
                    True, their actual competitor is now only OneWeb, which only launched the first experimental batch, in 34 devices.
                    But BlueOrigin (Amazon, Bezos), have an infinite flow of money, Bezos sells Amazon shares and pours $ 1 billion a year to invest in his own space company. And this year he has already sold 2 billion. And if the BOs now find a competent team, who can also adjust the serial production of satellites to the multi-thousandth level, like Space, then he will have enough money for everything else. Musk is also now in Tesla tens of billions plump, and also Starlink can afford to pay. But still he doesn’t sell his shares in Tesla, and Starlink plans to withdraw to IPO, in shares.

                    In general, the topic is very broad and deep. And this is a smooth revolution of global internet technology. In general, I recommend reading on the topic)

        Because initially, 20 years ago, the ULA held a tender, according to which Energomash was paid for the creation of this taxiway, with the relevant ULA rights to this engine.
        So ULA also buys these engines on its LV (Atlas-5), but at the same time makes a new LV Volcano, with a methane engine.

        The hysteria over RD-180 occurs only in the headlines of the Russian media. In reality, the USA has no problems with the RD-180 at all. And even for ULA there is no problem, they calmly buy their own paid product. And they are working with a new launch vehicle.
        And most importantly, ULA is no longer a player in the launch services market. Space took everything.

        It’s only here, in the Russian propogondonsky mass media hysteria rolls in headlines. Such as this one.

                    If you are really interested in the space industry in the world and in Russia in particular, then there are no glasses at all. But there is a broken trough of Roskosmos, to which they have come over the past 10-20 years.

                    Moreover, the position of Roscosmos in the 90s was much better than now. This is true.
                    In the late 90s, at the beginning of the zero, Roscosmos could still build modules for the ISS, and most importantly still had leading positions in launches and production of spacecraft.

                        "The head of the design and technological department of RKS Andrey ZHUKOV:" Our design and production technology allows us to organize the production of high-quality boards that can work stably in space. The stability of the characteristics of the microwave signal is ensured by the use of thermal treatment of the organic dielectric. the board made it possible to achieve stability of its operation at temperatures from -196oC to 200oC, which is confirmed by experiments.

      Oxygen-kerosene engines, of course, should be replaced in the near future with new works that will be based on oxygen-hydrogen and oxygen-methane, that is, on liquefied natural gas. These are simpler solutions, cheaper, more reliable. If you make this Soyuz-5 rocket, you need to do it on a modern engine, and not on an engine that is 50 years old.

    We are awaiting the launch of the next 60 Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit.
    Accelerator: Falcon 9 B1056.4 (4th flight). An attempt to record for the shortest time between using a specific accelerator is 61 days (now 71 days).
    The weather forecast gives 90% for the launch of the 16th.
    The first step is to board the OCISLY floating platform 1 km in the Atlantic Ocean.
    Ships Go Ms. Tree and Go Ms. Chief again will try to simultaneously catch two Falcon 9 cowl flaps in the net after they are separated from the 2nd stage (3rd attempt) - 691 km.
    This will be the 4th launch of this year for SpaceX (taking into account IFA), the 5th mass launch of Starlink satellites, the 50th launch of Falcon 9 from the SLC-40 platform and 89 company mission for all time

      and it’s cheaper, including because there is no upper stage (3rd stage) - a thing is not cheap

The American models are shiny, streamlined, stuffed with unusual details and wriggling pipes. a noticeable weld, not a single missing rivet. Russian engines inspire less confidence.

    Well, so far they are selling, why not buy. Cheap and reliable.

    Atlas hangs on these engines. It has certification for government orders (the most delicious) and manned launches. Change engine = make new certification for an already old and non-marketable rocket (% of Atlas’s commercial launches go to 0 or the government, or NASA, or scientific, like the solar orbiter, a joint project with ESA).


    Actually the current published ULA strategy:
    operation until the 30s of the Atlas.
    commissioning of methane Vulcan, its certification and its replacement of the entire Delta family.
    then the Atlas will be used as a minibus on the ISS, or will be removed.

    Other Russian engines uses Antares. With him, everything is bad. The only RN customer is NASA, in the ISS commercial supply mission. Now 13 Swan cannot fly away. NASA has paid for the construction of 15 Swans at the moment. Will it be 16? It’s still in doubt. If Swan is everything, then Antares is everything. The developer company has already died and become a department of Northrop.



    If Putin slams his fist on the table, Rogozin will obey, and the engines will become sanctions, will the US die? No. They will have to redistribute the purchased engines on priority missions:
    - Starliner, because this is the only missile (except Falcon) - certified for manned flights. In theory, you can use Delta. But there will have to be finalized, and this time is money for a dead rocket (again, the Volcano is coming soon).

    - Almost all missions to remove the load can be thrown on the Delta. They are sold by the same ULA. Yes, some subcontractors will fly by. Yes, the native budget will pay extra 50-70 million for the launch on the easy Delta. But it is solvable.

    The United States still does not have its own rocket engine like the Russian RD-180, and it will not be possible to find a replacement until at least 2030.
    in 2030, the license ends, under which the Americans had the right to issue the RD-180

    the firm "Pratt & Whitney" paid for the work, all patents for newly created units and engine parts (RD-180 is a half of the RD-170 with some original units and new automation and software) belong to it, although the development was carried out by NPO Energomash. Also, the United States received the right to manufacture the RD-180 in its own States. But they failed to implement this project, although they really wanted to. They tried, but "did not schmogli".

    There are show-offs and there are technical realities.
    American politicians were the first to take it, although it was clear to any NASA engineer, Boeing, Blue Origin, that they could not create their own motor in 5 years. Even with a set of technological documentation for the RD-180/181 and NK-33 / NJ-26.
    For 7 years it is possible to create a fully working prototype with the achievement of the specified characteristics, but without reliability statistics.
    Therefore, the experts who prepared this report quite soberly assessed the state of affairs.

    So what's the question then? RD180 has a thrust of 400 tons for two combustion chambers. The Americans flew to the moon on engines with a thrust of 690 tons per camera, why not repeat this feat. There is only one small discrepancy, the strength of materials. There are no materials that can withstand the loads that would give this thrust. And all the technical documentation is naturally "lost". Like all the "lunar soil" it was "lost" in warehouses, and they cannot find it in any way.

      It is common practice to scare Internet users like an unknown bloody magic of the ancients, and I studied it. All strength formulas were given there on the cross-sectional area. Accordingly, under any load, there is a sufficiently large cross-sectional area that can withstand it. Specific limitations are not specifically imposed by sopromat.

      And in RD-170 and its derivatives, the multi-chamber circuit was used not because fundamentally unstable loads, but because it was not possible to ensure the stability of combustion in a single-chamber circuit.

        Based on such an incredible squandering of NASA, which buried a unique rocket and no less unique engine, researchers have always been very keenly interested in the technical characteristics of both. It turned out a lot of interesting things ... Among other things, for example, the fact that the material of the nozzles of the F-1 engines cannot withstand the declared pressure and temperature loads arising in the operating mode of its use. This material would simply shatter to pieces under similar loads. In the late 60s, on this occasion, it was possible to hang pasta on the ears of the whole world, but over the past 40 years, material science has reached such a level that the above information can be easily and easily verified using specialized directories and programs

          At this point I stopped reading. Immediately counted 3 errors: thrust RD-180 - 390tf. Cameras in his two. The most powerful space rocket engine is RD-170. A person who treats facts so badly can only impress an audience with a double-digit IQ.

It was the decision to increase the number of TGK and TPK produced for servicing the station and delivering cosmonauts and astronauts after the death of Colombia that led to delays in the construction of the ISS RS in conditions of a meager budget for the program, and money for the flight of tourists and astronauts did not decide anything in this direction.
