Echidna comments. Is Angara cheaper than Proton? Fantastic!

141

I can not help but comment news, which was with us that the Angara launch vehicle is much more expensive than the Proton launch vehicle. 7 billion against 2,33. Rubles, of course.

The Roskosmos explained the high cost of the Angara-A5 rocket. Very luxurious.



The reason, it turns out, is that they are assembling a rocket in two cities: Moscow and Omsk. And while this is a piece of goods. But when mass production is launched, then the price will become close to the market.

Are you laughing? It's time.

Here is the Proton launch vehicle.


The acceleration block for the Proton is made in Moscow. At the State Scientific and Technical Center named after Khrunichev.

The engine of the first stage is produced in Perm.

The engine of the second and third stage - in Voronezh.

And the final assembly takes place in the installation and testing complexes of Baikonur, since only from there "Protons" are launched.

As you can see, the geography of Moscow - Perm - Voronezh - Baikonur is no less than that of the Moscow - Omsk - cosmodrome link.

So geography has nothing to do with it, obviously. Yes, carrying elements of the Angara to Vostochny is not the smartest thing, but, in fact, no one Roskosmos forced them to build a cosmodrome there. One could otherwise get out of the problem than start a construction site there, and even this ...

Moving on.

Saying that the “launch vehicle" is a piece of goods is generally worthy of Zadornov. Of course, a booster rocket is such a thing, they are issued in a stream, they can be purchased by anyone with enough money on a credit card.

And this happens often, more often than the purchase of new Rolls-Royces, Maybachs or yachts.

More precisely, it should happen. But since the Angara is not produced as a Maybach conveyor, it is expensive.

This is logical. Manual assembly and all that. Accordingly, the costs. This means that as soon as (according to the figures of Roskosmos) the rocket gets into the flow, into mass production, it will immediately begin to get cheaper.

From March 10, 1967 (first launch) to March 30, 2012 (last launch) 310 Proton launches were made. 310 starts in 63 years. An average of 5 starts per year.

And this is mainly in the USSR (207), the rest in Russia.

310 starts in 63 years.

How many launches will need to be made to Angara in order to become cheaper? “Get closer to the market,” as the representatives of the press service of Roscosmos said?

In fact, the reason is not in mass production. And not in the number of starts, especially successful ones. The reason is somewhat different.

One could say that the ruble is to blame, which has fallen madly in price over the past 20 years. And that would be fair. How fair it would be to say that the Soviet “Proton” is absolutely not a couple of the Russian “Angara”. It was developed in a slightly different country, with a different approach. Then there was no such unscrupulous approach to work and saws did not scream at every stage of construction.

In order for the modern Angara to begin to cost, as promised in Roskosmos, not 7, but “only” 4 billion, which is still more than the cost of the ancient “Proton”, it is not necessary to produce a series of 100 units, calculated over the years at 20-25. Will not fall in price.

There will not be so many launches, according to the statistics of Roskosmos itself.


Echidna comments. Is Angara cheaper than Proton? Fantastic!

It will not fall in price, since recently the depreciating ruble simply will not allow it to be done. And given how they help him ...

Of course, if you reduce the number of loafers-managers in the departments of statistics, advertising and marketing at enterprises of the industry, if you bring the Roskosmos add-on at least in approximate conformity with the Ministry of General Engineering, disperse countless supervisory, audit and authorized councils, strange departments and so on ...

And then it is possible to reduce the cost of an unfortunate rocket.

A funny situation was created in the bowels of Roskosmos. The new rocket costs three times more expensive than the old one, there is no place to launch it yet, but the old one has already been abandoned. And the new rocket needs to be built in quantities not inferior to the old, and then it may become cheaper.

        So far, only "SpaceX" with the "Falcon 9 FT" is really. There, however, the load lifted to LEO is smaller than the "proton" one (if the first stage is returned, only about 1 tons can be lifted).

        When the number of manufactured and launched Proton-M launch vehicles was 10-11 units per year, the RF Ministry of Defense used secret satellites 1, 2, or a maximum of three rockets to launch its own owls. Then he slightly increased the number of Glonass. The rest went to the sale of commercial launches. The United States itself has purchased 8 Proton-M launches over a period of 17 years. And taking into account the poorly conspiratorial buyer, dependent on the United States, there were 31 such buyers. Here are the possibilities of the Russian Defense Ministry consumer. 2 pieces per year. And this is with 1005 launch reliability. Where will the number of launches for testing "Angara-A5" come from?

      Vootoot, Proton’s depreciation has long been eaten up and fixed assets have fought back 40 years ago, hence the low price.
      And the Angara depreciation has just begun, and the cost of fixed assets is included in the price. It would be time for the author of the article to know the basics of economics, they are now being taught even in the techie.
      In addition, Proton, everything - has exhausted its modernization potential, and the Angara is only the beginning.
      The cost of the hangar, of course, decline over time, but I don’t think it will be equal to Proton. Capitalism, after all, makes its own adjustments ...

              When they did Proton, the land didn’t cost anything, but now, for example, 1 sq. M. Of land in Moscow costs a lot, besides, the salary in Soviet times cannot be compared now.
              Now inflation goes to almost everything - twenty years ago I could safely buy a video card, into a computer for $ 20, and now I need to give $ 200. Or for example, a brand new one, in the Passat V-5 cabin (basic equipment) in 1996 it cost only $ 16, and now the new V-000 (also basic equipment) costs from $ 8.
              I do not want to say that the price of the Angara is directly 100% consistent with the declared one, no, of course, everything must be checked and verified, but for 40 years the dollar has depreciated quite strongly, hence the large numbers.

          It’s funny and sad to read your comment. In QiH, only Protons and Roars were issued. The first has a step diameter of 4,1 meters, the second 2,5 meters. That means releasing something else on these slipways is no longer possible. The diameter of the URM-1 is 2,9 meters, which is why they launch it on Flight in Omsk, and the first Angara was assembled on the knee, but the knee is not suitable for mass production. Although I think that reducing the cost of the Angara still will not work, and in general this is a failed project.

        "Money goes into space

        Some wonder where our taxes go and why life doesn't want to be any better. Here's an example. Roskosmos announced how long one heavy carrier rocket "Angara" will stand - 7 billion rubles. This is three times more expensive than the Protons-M, which are being launched now. But that's not the point. We are here behind the scenes competing with SpaceX. So Rogozin parried the recent success with Crew Dragon - they say, our response will be "Angara", and also the ship "Eagle". There is no information about the second one yet, let's go over the first one.

        Angara has been under development for almost a quarter of a century, more than Putin has been in power. During this time, $ 3 billion was poured into the "novelty". By the way, the debts of the developer - the Khrunichev Center - are already 80 billion rubles. For comparison: the reusable Falcon 9 rocket cost SpaceX $ 850 million. Its heavy version, Falcon Heavy, cost the company $ 500 million. That is, the development of one "Angara" has already cost us twice as much as SpaceX both of its rockets. The first of which has been actively flying for several years. And the spending is lower, one step is returnable. To be fair, let's compare two new projects from Roscosmos and SpaceX. Musk's company is currently working on the Starship. The estimated launch price should be about $ 2 million. The minimum price for one launch of the heavy Angara will be about $ 100 million. It is 50 times more expensive! Falcon Heavy, by the way, was launched for $ 90 million.

        Even if Roskosmos begins to mass-produce Angara and its price drops to 4 billion rubles, this will not change the balance of power in space. After Crew Dragon has successfully delivered astronauts to the ISS, the United States can do such launches on its own and at a much lower cost. They will be able to reuse the first stage of the Falcon 9 and the Crew Dragon itself. Our obsolete "Unions" will simply not be needed. And when the "Angara" arrives, Musk will get to Mars, as promised.

        I will not say that it is not necessary. I will say that this is ineffective. But up there, of course, this is not the case. For such grandmothers, you can stir up your space. On the ground. Sorry, Yura. "

          Captured by American bluffs. All numbers are bullshit. Musk Heavy is, in essence, a single-stage rocket, which, with the help of a second rocket unit, can launch into LEO, you need to count, well, about ten tons. This is offhand. When they start throwing handfuls of Mr. ... Mr., I'll count. Musk Heavy, go ahead, is it capable of producing 63,8 tons to LEO? "Crazy, get off the roof!" But joke ... the transformation of the Shuttle into a disposable rocket is underway ... according to conversations, count from the first launch of the Shuttle. But the active phase ... of conversations ... began, perhaps from the beginning of the 21st vekkkha .. "And things are still there." There were reports somewhere, perhaps 2014-2015 ?, that in the US talk about the SLS system will stop in 2018. But ... talk of creating SLS in half of the US states provides hundreds of high-paying jobs. Nevertheless, ten to twelve years ago, information on SLS gave three queues of SLS. The first provided for a carrying capacity of 75 tons for LEO. Note that Musk created his Heavy without tension: barely moving the little finger of his left hand. And no one in the US knows about this labor feat of Maksk. It was Musk-Khevy who gnawed our bald spots in Russia. And it was decided, apparently, to speed up the talks in the USA about the creation of SLS. But already about any three stages of the creation of SLS are not conducted. The capacity of the SLS has already been announced at 90 tonnes without any talk of "queues". It is clear that this is a "smart" American move - to get away from reproaches: Musk casually made Musk-Heavy for 63 tons, and here the whole USA is soaring all 21 century over the creation of SLS - for 75 tons on LEO. By the way, according to the launch tables, "Shuttle" was listed with a carrying capacity of 120 tons per LEO.

        Proton-M "has not exhausted its modernization potential. Comrade threw a lump of dirt at Proton-M just for the sake of confusing a fluent reading person. Angara-A5 has no modernization potential. That's it! This is the end product of licking the ideology of D4X, which has exhausted itself long ago, but its production and launches are carried out (0,75 units per year) for the sake of political “kin.” Time will not give any chances for Angara-A5, since “chances” are launches. Over the past six years, Angara -A5 "has never been launched. November 3, 2020 announced the first (or second) launch of Angara-A5". Look at Wikipedia.

In total, all the "Protons" have already been "fired" for almost 53 years, 419 pieces. And this is without taking into account the launches of the current 2020 year. It turns out on average almost 8 launches per year.

      The area on Baikonur is really losing. But why lose?
      Exclusively in its mildness. The lease was signed for 49 years.
      Yes, there were Proton accidents with a heptyl spill. But who and how suffered from this?
      Well, hearing is specifically one person. And this is a Russian. The head of Roscosmos Popovkin, who, after the accident shown on-line, rushed to the crash site, breathed and died a year later. The Russian side also suffered, which for its money exported allegedly contaminated soil in considerable quantities. Allegedly, this is because heptyl in the soil decomposed into non-hazardous elements by the time of removal. In addition, the half-century statistics of Proton launches showed unambiguous safety during standard breeding. The remaining fuel in the tanks is drained at an altitude of 42–46 km, scattered by the winds, decomposed by ultraviolet radiation and oxidized by ozone, that is, completely disposed of naturally.
      But for the sake of friendship with the Kazakhs (which nonetheless bursts at all seams) a deep curtsy was made and commitments were made to complete the launches with the 25th year. Short-sighted and sad.

        Do not know do not write. You can run into rudeness. Heptyl from Baikonur carried the wind to the whole Altai and further to Khakassia and Tuva.

          Moreover, the carcinogenicity of heptyl has not been established by science. It is a fact that UDMH could be used as a chemical weapon. If it weren’t for its prohibitive value for weapons.

        If it’s simple: The hangar is low-tech. No, this is not from thoughtlessness.
        All equipment is initially low-tech.
        In the technology of the Angara, the accumulation of experience did not pass. Everything that was assembled can be conditionally called a screwdriver assembly.
        In the presence of at least some seriality, the production of technological methods occurs, including changing, if necessary, the design of the elements.
        Always the third time doing something is easier than the first time.
        In the production of elements of the same Proton, the manufacturing and assembly technology has been constantly improved over the years. I will not reveal any secret if I inform you that some of the improving developments at the time of withdrawal from production have not been introduced. For there is no limit to perfection.
        Nevertheless, in Proton, as an industrial product, everything was brought to the highest degree of perfection, licked and sucked. To do it was easy and inexpensive.
        The hangar, if it is produced in series, has yet to go this way of technological improvement. Then the price will fall.

        Can. From the creation of Proton to the creation of Falcon, technology has gone far ahead. A couple of examples. The use of new lighter and stronger lithium-magnesium alloys greatly reduced the dry weight of the carrier, increased mass excellence (the best in the world) and, consequently, increased the specific gravity of the cargo being thrown. The use of friction welding of the shells of the tanks made it possible to abandon the expensive slipways into which the stage is sealed and welding is carried out under argon and a laser. And so on a very long list of applicable technologies.

        Everyone is discussing the cost of the Angara in comparison with the cost of other missiles. But, apparently by accident, they miss the clarification about what value they are talking about. As far as I understand, according to Falcon, the PRODUCTION cost of the rocket is voiced, that is, the cost of materials + the cost of human hours to create one rocket. And in the Angara, the FULL COST (the cost of the project) is announced, that is, the costs of development, tooling, depreciation costs of enterprises in terms of buildings, structures and equipment involved in the production + plus PRODUCTION COSTS. Divided by the expected number of missiles for the project. Wrote simplified to facilitate understanding. IMHO

          You are confused in numbers. laughing

          production cost A5 - 7 billion rubles within the framework of tests, since the Angara rocket is not serially produced, but piecemeal - the rocket is in the stage of development work, the cost price reflects significantly higher, in comparison with the batch production process, the costs associated with the development of the design and manufacturing technology. Also, the cost of the product is increasing due to the technical re-equipment, which is being carried out at the Omsk PO Polet.

          In addition, a contract for several missiles of this type in the framework of development work was signed at a price of less than 5 billion rubles. for one rocket.

          Cost of services According to the conclusion on already concluded contracts for A5 with Plesetsk, today it is ~ $ 64 million in equivalent.

          24 tons are put into low-earth orbit by the so-called. The "basic version" is the A5 heavy missile. The version of the A5M rocket with a 10% increase in thrust will already output ~ 27 tons. And the version of the A5B rocket with the third hydrogen stage is ~ 37 tons.

    In many ways, you can agree with the author. True, you need to fix it in the number of launched Proton carriers. There are more than 410 of them and the year of the first start-up is 1965.
    And so ..... our Chief on skeet, being a committed person, rushes with this Hangar like [ch.u.d.k.] with an accordion. To accelerate its introduction into the brains of industry, he ordered the production of Protons to cease. Thrust motors are not manufactured as early as a year. And even if you resume right now (well, suddenly someone changes their minds!), It will be very costly and painful. In fact, this will be a new development ....
    It has long become clear that Angara will never become a commercial project from words in any way. It is useful for the military 2-3 times a year and for scientists once every 3-5 years. But, on the other hand, having the Angara and two spaceports for it on our territory, we will have independent access to space. Here, apparently, we will pay a high price for this ..

    Of course, if you reduce the number of loafers-managers in the departments of statistics, advertising and marketing at enterprises of the industry, if you bring the Roskosmos add-on at least in approximate conformity with the Ministry of General Engineering, disperse countless supervisory, audit and authorized councils, strange departments and so on ...

    And then it is possible to reduce the cost of an unfortunate rocket.


    What does Roskosmos have to do with it? The Khrunichev Center is doing the hangar. He announces the price. And if Skororokhov, once again, does not understand how the serial product differs from the installation (or experienced) one - a hint: not only in quantity - it only means that it is extremely far from both industry and common sense.

    And about "unhappiness" let him look in the mirror. Because we will launch a rocket and make it cheaper, and we will be the first on the moon. And the unfortunate Roman will remain with his unfulfilled hopes for a "protest". laughing

    I can’t imagine who can count on so many launches now.
    So far, only "SpaceX" with the "Falcon 9 FT" is really. There, however, the load lifted to LEO is smaller than the "proton" one (if the first stage is returned, only about 1 tons can be lifted).

    You are not right.
    All Falcon 9 launches under the Starlink program were with payloads of 18,6 tons (taking into account the dispenser), and launches occur with return steps. The latest launches were carried out in steps that have already flown 5 times.

    And what, when Proton flew, were there all these parasites? No, the main reason for the high cost of the Angara is its complexity and multiblockness. A bunch of sausages of the first stage. After all, the main purpose of a heavy rocket is to bring payloads to a geostationary orbit. It is for this that the biggest money is paid. It is on this that she earns. Therefore, the configuration of the rocket for the GSO should be as simple as possible, that is, monoblock. Only in this case will it be profitable. Just look at the pictures of Falcon, Proton and Hangar-5, to accurately distribute them by profitability. The hangar will come first. From the tail.

    The message of the Author is quite clear. Why change the "awl for soap", but three times more expensive? The main purpose of the launch vehicle is to launch a certain mass of cargo into a certain orbit. And if the compared launch vehicles have the same characteristics, including both disposable ones, it makes sense to switch to a new one three times more expensive.

Probably because of this they made Protons on such fuel, because at that technological level could not make comparable in characteristics and price environmentally friendly rocket launcher. There would be a task, for any money, but harmless, they would create. The same Energy, for example.

The deployment of a new production of a completely new rocket and production of a rocket according to a well-functioning project, which has been carried out for decades, is even stupid to compare.

      Vostochny was chosen taking into account the fact that the debris of the four side blocks of the Angara-A5 cover an area equal to 4 areas of the fall of the debris of one Columbia. Since these areas will not overlap each other, this area of ​​damage from the release of 4 BB "Angara-A5" will be 400 km long and 200 km wide. For this reason, "Baiterek" did not pass, since in Kazakhstan, apparently, even in the time of Korolev it was impossible to find such an area for the RP. And now - even more so. East of the East, under the RP, not only "desert", "lifeless" land areas east of the East are allocated, but also the vicinity of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. Comrade Shatrov examined not only these territories, but also the waters of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk with the adjacent islands. It is better to launch Angara-A5 from Plesetsk in winter, during the period when a huge RP with snow is covered - when there are no crowds of tourists and other people
      Therefore ... There are no potential victims, but what is important, there are no witnesses. Well, let's say, if you want to simulate the "successful" launch of "Angara-A5".
      By the way, taking into account the real losses of speed during launching: RB Briz-M will spend 22,585 , 2,3 tons of its own fuel, and if the same Angara-A1,6 block is put into operation, the Briz-m will spend about 5-10 tons of its own fuel supply for the additional deployment of the RB.

Skomorokhov chose the right story line. And the facts and statistics given by him are correct. Skomorokhov's drawback is that he did not dare to predict the behavior of the RF Ministry of Defense in conditions when Proton-M has been firmly eliminated and Angara-A5 will not be. And the reason is not so much the price (which is a lie to promise to decrease over time). but in her weakness, because her concept was licked with the underdeveloped D4X. So the colonels of the RF Ministry of Defense (a lot of assumptions have been made about this) are ready to represent the RF Ministry of Defense for permanent residence at the “private trader” Mask, “who is out of politics and regardless” of the CIA. This is trumpeting the essence of American democracy. 17 US intelligence services, however, cannot influence American "privateers".

    The author does not understand the topic, well, directly, not with a foot. Specialized production of rocket components at various industries and final assembly at the launch complex (or, very close to it). Is there such a technology with such technology when the subsequent operations are carried out either in Siberia or continue in Moscow? Having two productions, not yet localized in one (any) place, they lead precisely to such a hassle.
    Further. The design of such a product is an order of magnitude, or even two orders of magnitude, more expensive than the rocket itself. Because this process includes not only the artist’s work with his easel, not only the work of thousands of design teams with shutters and CAD programs, but also production workshops that make models, models, experimental and other elements, test benches, instruments, completely new ones are smelted alloys, new materials are created, etc. If a single copy of the product is made (and this is actually three or four, which are tested before destruction to find out the real possibilities), then the price of this one is more than cosmic. With the release of 440 pieces (this is as much as Proton was made), the price of each decreases by almost 440 times. Since the cost of preparing production is decomposed into the entire mass of products.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation used only three (maximum) rockets per year in the production of 11-12 Proton-Ms. The rest went to the sale of launch services in the external market. And, if you believe some information, at the time of 02.07, when the cartoon was shown at 2013:6 Moscow time on TV channels ("but something went wrong") about the shocking accident of the Proton-M launch vehicle, in the "portfolio" Proton-M "there were about 00 orders for launches of" Proton-M ". 30 sabotage accidents "Proton-M", after each sabotage 4 months of a ban on launches of "Proton-M", allowed dear Russians to hang on their ears "why Musk is overtaking Russia in space?"

      Not. There is no idiot to joke your own loot. Not very small. State - yes, as much as necessary! Musk started his car not because he wanted to become famous, but because he was far behind with the launch to Mars, the planet passed the point of its shortest distance to Earth. Therefore, in order not to look like a fool, and not to waste what I wanted to launch to Mars, I launched my old shit.

    Now I’m just reading a series of books by Gubanov, the chief designer of Energy. In the late 80s, the Union launched 80 missiles per year. And this is despite the restructuring. Union spending in the 80s on space was 0,3% (!!!) of the country's budget. This money was enough to develop such a system as Energia-Buran, Zenit LV, Energia-M LV, to build its own PIC Mir, launch AMC Phobos, develop a 37K rocket, a hydrogen block for the Proton and the Skif battle station, and much more. 0,3% is even less than the write-off costs of spoiling products at the time.
    Under Yeltsin, Chernomyrdin traveled to the United States and requested permission for 8 launches per year at the geostationary station. This is about the free market and sovereignty.
    In the late 80s, Americans calculated how much money the moon flight program brought to the country. For every dollar invested, the country's economy brought 14 profits. And here everyone argues whether they flew or not) The Space Shuttle program is several times more expensive than the lunar program. The estimated payback at the design stage was 60 starts per year! For NASA, the launch of one Shuttle cost 110 million, the remaining 80% was paid from the pocket of taxpayers. Absolutely unprofitable program would seem. Why, knowing how to count dollars, the Americans didn’t close it and exploited it for so long? Because shuttle dollars penetrated all spheres of the country's economy.
    In a country without a long-term economic development policy, something simply cannot appear at the level of the same Soviet Proton. Voronezh residents say that it’s no longer able to simply restore the production of hydrogen RD0120. Technology is lost. All promising carriers are built on the remnants of Soviet technology. All these Unions-5, Phoenixes, Irtysh, Yenisei, Angars are based on one Soviet engine RD-170. They divide it in half, then in a quarter. And at the same time they have the audacity to harass the lunar engine Mask. The Americans have a clear policy of conquering the market for commercial launches. By subsidizing the cost of launching Mask rockets from the budget, they have already taken the lion's share of the market, leaving Roscosmos without launches. Now they will take away more manned flights. Because every dollar invested in space brings in the future an order of magnitude more.
    Article 67 of the Constitution says that the Russian Federation is the successor of the Union. It’s also now added that from our ancestors we received ideals and faith in God. The ancestors also did not forget to leave us advanced technical and scientific achievements, so that we wisely use them for the good of the country. Mind was enough to break apart and sell. It is hoped that, even with God's help, the Eagle will rise to the wing and someday fly to the Moon.

      Do you see? 1973 was fatal for the Soviet Union, when in the period June 16-24 L.I. Brezhnev went to the United States on an official visit and with a plan for the elimination of the Soviet Union ("For the sake of peace on Earth - down with the Soviet Union." There is a film by such Heinrich Borovik, which until recently was on the Internet). Brezhnev took the work of the USSR Academy of Sciences, the USSR Science and Technology Committee, VINITI about (approved by the heads of these organizations) that the United States flew to the moon. As a result of this visit, the Soviet Union was banned from all space exploration. This was similar to the Versailles restrictions against Germany. But with diametrically opposite endings. The Versailles-like restrictions for Russia are still being sacredly fulfilled. The liquidation of the Proton-M launch vehicle was accomplished in the spirit of following the restrictions imposed on the Soviet Union by the Brezhnevs in 1973. On the gradual curtailment of all Soviet programs, Ivan Skomorokhov (I hope) will give us statistics ... In general, today Russia is the Bzdozhinsky's dream: Russia there is "Upper Volta". but no missiles.

    Ivan Skomorokhov does not understand! Everything goes according to the script. And no matter how much they laughed at the "messiah" Mask in Russia, it doesn't count. According to the scenario, the stage when Musk is already recognized as a prophet sent down from above, but not for the United States, but for Russia, has already been successfully passed. It is the House of the Mask, which Rogozin plans to build on the site of the former FSUE GKNPTs named after M.V. Khrunichev and who "then the Russians will lovingly call the House of the Holy Mask " has already been successfully completed. The next stage is the one that has come. Shock because while the Proton-M launch vehicle was liquidated - this takes time, just carpet bombing could have lowered the level of the GKNPTs below the Moscow River level - it was necessary to lull that Angara-A5 would be cheaper than the Proton-M launch vehicle ... And now we can make a shocking confession: "Angara-A5" will be "three times more expensive." So!!! Not three times, but more times. And that nobody knew this? "Only the lazy didn't talk about it." Now it is possible to deliver, as they say, "cancer": "Proton-M" is completely liquidated, and "Angara-A5" will not be .. For "Angara-A5" is an abortion material of the American D4X - completely hydrogen. Which, for political reasons, is launched in the amount of 0,75 pieces per year.
    But now how to launch the secret satellites of the RF Ministry of Defense? That's right, the private owner Musk will lend a helping hand. Which is out of politics, etc. So, against the background of the fact that the Angara-A5 will be three times more expensive than the Proton-M launch vehicle, and the Proton-M will be twice as expensive as Musk's missiles (all these propaganda stages WE HAVE ALREADY passed) - rejoice the RUSSIANS of the savings that the RF Ministry of Defense will throw out to us on the launches of secret satellites of the RF Ministry of Defense with the missiles of the "holy" Mask !!!
    But not everything is said about the "Angara-A5": "Angara-A5", without taking into account the launch losses, fulfills 6% less than the characteristic velocity, and its launch mass is 9% more than the starting mass of the Proton-M launch vehicle.

    Yes, the Angara simply cannot be cheaper than Proton because of its modularity (which, after abandoning the A3 in favor of the S-5, was not really needed). In the best case, it will be 2 times more expensive, and that is unlikely. Burst with this hangar.

    Taking into account also the methane rocket, which Roskosmos is allegedly starting up - already in five years! - someone decided to become Ivan Susanin, leading the Russian rocket and space industry through the lost places. If only not to let Russia into space. Until recently, Russia had everything for a full-fledged exploration of space and planets. But they wanted to make "Angara-A5", which supposedly was supposed to replace "Proton-M". Therefore, even while talking about the Angara-A5, the Proton-M rocket was eliminated. "Tempo, tempo, tempo !!!" Now it turns out that the Angara-A5 is three times more expensive than the Proton-M, which completely excludes its use as a commercial rocket .. But even without that it is clear: even in the ideal case (excluding launch losses) Angara-A5 "fulfills the characteristic speed (in three stages) by 6% less, but despite the fact that its starting mass is 9,5% more. Is it time to drain? But at the same time, those who brought Russian rocket and space technology into this dead end must merge. Out of which: owls. to launch secret satellites of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on "cheap" ("cheaper only for nothing") missiles "independent" from the CIA "private trader" Mask
    And what do we expect from November 3, 2020, for which the first start of the Angara-A5 is supposedly scheduled. But the attention of the Russian suckers can be distracted by the plans of Roscosmos to make a methane returnable rocket (as if Roscosmos can at least do something?), Which will be lighter than Soyuz-2, but will output 200 tons more to LEO 10 km high than the one under development. rocket "Soyuz-2". You see, the development of the Soyuz-2 launch vehicle can already be covered with a "wet towel". Although methane is not methane, but LNG. This time! And two - two times - "methane" is cryogenic kerosene, which only in the sick imagination of the supporters of "methane", gives an increase in specific impulse of 10 s. In reality, this increase cannot be obtained. That is, a methane-fueled liquid-propellant rocket engine ("pie in the sky") will be worse than the "Tit in the Hand", which exists in the form of a series of liquid-propellant rocket engines fueled by ZhK + kerosene fuel. But methane is two times lighter in density than kerosene, it is cryogenic, that is, methane introduces into the structure the design specifics of structures on ZhK + ZhV fuel.
    Well, VERY TRUE, isn't it cheaper for US to liquidate Roscosmoso State Corporation ?????

      Taking into account the methane rocket, which Roskosmos allegedly is up to - five years later! - someone decided to become Ivan Susanin, leading the rocket and space industry in dead places.


      You carry the sweetest Purgu. laughing After the start of operation of the "Angara" LV, our nearest new rocket is "Rokot-M". It is followed by Soyuz-5, followed by A5M and SLK.

      And until recently, Russia had everything for a full-fledged exploration of space and planets.


      What does it mean - was it? laughing all three moons fly on Soyuz-2.1b, and Exomars-2022 starts on Proton-M.

      You're lying. The Proton-M rocket is still being produced and will still be launched until 2025, while Kazakhstan permits.

      Oh, whether. The price of the contracts already signed for the launch of the A5 is comparable to the commercial price of Proton-M.

    Bitter truth.
    Effective managers who sent teachers and doctors to commerce even drained the remnants of the Soviet past.

    "Results of June.
    The number of launches has decreased compared to May. Only seven. And only from two countries - the USA and China. The rest are being restored after quarantine and shutdown of cosmodromes and industry enterprises.
    USA. Four starts. All "new private traders"! SpaceX and Rocket Lab. SpaceX tensed up and tried to fulfill his plan - two Starlink per month. There were two of them, but one came by transfer from May. It didn’t work out this time. Another launch of a navigation satellite commissioned by the US military. Rocket Lab launched something small military.
    China. Three starts. The next satellites of remote sensing. Plus a navigation satellite - the completion of the full-time grouping. The Chinese have fulfilled their promise to form a navigation system by the 20th year! A rare case in modern astronautics (Europe also promised by the 20th).
    Russia, Europe, India, Iran, and others ... didn’t start anything ... they returned to life space centers and factories abandoned during quarantine.

    The growth of launches and the increase in rates are carried over again to the future. We wait."

    One expert said somewhere that the Angara is so expensive because when they started to design it back in the USSR, no one was thinking about the economy. Musk thought something else. In addition, it is not clear how the cost of developing the Angara is taken into account in the cost of the rocket itself. I’ll also add from myself - the Americans, in fact, plow like Carla’s dads, as many of us have never dreamed of. I also note that if the Angara first-stage returnable cruise missile modules were implemented, as it was, as it was originally planned, then the spaceport could probably be built in the Rostov Region, or it could be launched from the same Baikonur. As a joke of humor, it could have been straight from Moscow.

    These writing experts have no idea about the pricing at the Khrunichev Center, but they talk great about prices from the rocket photo.

    In general, switching to a carrier by an order of magnitude less toxic components, this is already progress.

    Mr. Skomorokhov - who is by education?
    Judging by amateurish reasoning, overflowing with unnecessary emotions are far from technology.
    Not far from Rogozin left.

    Why undertake to discuss a topic far from you?

    As a process engineer (by first education), who has an idea of ​​the design, construction, and production of aircraft, I’ll say that the gentlemen from Roscosmos are right.

    Since the first batch of rocket launchers is laid down, the price of designing and creating technological equipment is very expensive for such large-sized products.
    For example, you need to create a series of conductors for each docking frame in order to meet tolerances in production (master conductors allow you to process docking frames of individual stages or rocket modules with perfect accuracy. You need to design and manufacture test benches for individual nodes (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic).
    According to general estimates, the cost of technological equipment is tens of times higher than the cost of one carrier.
    Accordingly, the cost of equipment and technological equipment is scattered on a batch of missiles - for example, for 5-7 years of planned launches.
    Why do we need technological equipment? - Equipment is also needed for non-mass production, but equipment designed for mass production allows you to reduce intermediate technological operations, perform processing from one installation (which increases accuracy and eliminates the steps for reinstalling buildings into a new stock), reduces the cost of production at times in subsequent stages , as a result, makes the products monotonous (stable) in quality and independent of a particular specialist (minimizes the human factor).

    The guys are doing a long-overdue and necessary thing - the transition from a "toxic" carrier to a modern design, many times safer in preparation for the launch, causing an order of magnitude less environmental damage during launch.
