Roscosmos resumes testing of the Angara-A5 launch vehicle

Roskosmos resumes testing of the Angara-A5 heavy-class launch vehicle, the rocket was sent to the Plesetsk cosmodrome. This was reported by the press service of the state corporation.

The second flight prototype of the Angara-A5 rocket has been prepared for shipment to the cosmodrome, where tests will continue. The rocket launch is scheduled for this fall, tentatively in early November. The rocket with the Briz-M upper stage will have to put a mock-up of the spacecraft into geostationary orbit.

The universal rocket modules of the Angara-A5 heavy rocket loaded in special wagons are awaiting the decision of the State Commission to send them to the northern cosmodrome. The rocket has successfully passed tests at the Control and Test Station of the Khrunichev Center and is ready to resume flight and space tests

- said in a statement.

The first Angara-A5 rocket was launched into space in December 2014. In total, the test program for the heavy launch vehicle provides for six launches, which should take place in the period 2021-2022.

Angara-A5 is the first Russian heavy-class launch vehicle developed entirely in the post-Soviet period. It will be able to launch into space from four to 24 tons of payload, depending on the height of the orbit. The launch vehicle runs on environmentally friendly fuel and is assembled from unified rocket modules, which can significantly reduce the cost of its production and maintenance.

According to information previously released by the media, the serial production of the Angara launch vehicle should start in 2023, and from 2024 it should completely replace the Protons. A whole family of these missiles has been developed, starting from the light Angara-1.2 and medium Angara-A3, ending with the heavy Angara-A5, the modernized Angara-A5M and the increased carrying capacity of the Angara-A5V.

In 2024, it should completely replace the "Protons"

- By the decree of the President of the Russian Federation of January 6, 1995 "On the development of the Angara missile complex" the work on the creation of the "Angara" missile system is defined as work of special state importance. In March, an order from the Russian Ministry of Defense was issued on this complex.
- On August 26, 1995, the Government of the Russian Federation issued a Decree, which determined the stages of the creation of the Angara complex, approved the general schedule for the creation of the complex, the amount of its financing, as well as the cooperation of co-executors.

Um ...
Do you understand at all what the article is about?
Are you familiar with the characteristics of the RN Angara family?
With the history of its creation?
With opportunities to compete in the international space market?
With a price ruler?
Do you have reasons to be optimistic? Is there a reason to say that everything is fine?

Is there a reason to say that everything is fine?

A number of projects are being created not for commerce, but so that later "payload mockups" would merrily scurry about in the orbits of potential "partners" and over their heads

[kamui91]

Well, the very fact that they continue to do Angara is a reason for optimism.

[keeper03]

Yes, you can just close your production and buy everything you need from Ilona! Is that what you wanted to say ?!

[shinobi]

Without exception, all RNs are made for domestic use. The international market follows a leftover principle. The USA is also welcome. The main customer and consumer is the state. Everywhere. Hence the question, why is everyone so clinging to the international market? Stuck in the heads of the 90s?
PS: And so, by the way. The Musk company divided the tender for launches of Pentagon satellites with YULA in a ratio of 40% to 60%. YULA has disposable missiles. Why would that be?

[ont65]

There is no point in crying over these questions. - There is not and will not be an alternative in the coming decades. There is not much to talk about competition in general. These products will not be supplied to the international market and will not be supplied by anyone. The main thing is that it is able to meet current needs with acceptable costs. And more is not required. Everyone (Japan, China, India, EU, States) makes such equipment for themselves as and what they can. This concludes all the discussions.

[Wedmak]

Angara-A3 was cut to please Union-5, I hope there will be no more reductions.

[Grazdanin]

Quote: Wedmak

there will be no more reductions.

The hangara is already outdated today. At 24, she will be a mammoth compared to Western and Chinese. This project will be of interest only to military and state corporations, which do not care about the cost of the flight. spend state money, our money.

[Wedmak]

Why is it suddenly outdated? What's so breakthrough about Western and Chinese RNs? Landing steps and beautiful design? So it's all based on the technologies of the last century and modern electronics. Our Angara is assembled from identical blocks for different loads - why not an achievement? Unlike Western missiles, where each missile is under its own load.
Hopefully, the Eagle will be finished and we will have a beautiful design ship, the Martians will admire ...

[mdsr]

Angara is outdated in terms of competitiveness. It loses significantly even to the ancient Proton-M. For its time, 80 - 90 years, when they began to develop it, it was a good rocket. But 25 years have passed since then.

[snucerist]

Who or what is preventing Russia from mastering these technologies of the last century and creating at least some semblance of a reusable stage?
The fact that the Angara is assembled from the same blocks for different loads by attaching side boosters is far from an achievement, it is a forced move. This is a minus. Korolyov himself was not delighted with his "seven" with a bunch of sausages in the first stage, but this was a necessary measure, because the problem of imbalance in the critical section of the engine chamber was not solved at that time. But H-1 was designed in a different way, like Saturn-5.
But this is not even the main point. The main thing today is the launch price. But Angara has a problem with this. Large and, alas, insoluble. And no one needs such a product without a reasonable price.
The fact is that, in principle, the very concept of URM is flawed. For the reason that they burn out after the start, along with everything else. Only the reusability of the stage or the same booster can give a gain in price.
I am generally silent about the characteristics of the Angara. What will these URMs give? Even if you take a product with an URM-3V (and this, for a minute, is already hydrogen plants with two RD-0150s)?
PN compared to the Angara-A5 launch vehicle will increase by:
- for LEO - from 24,5 to 38 tons.
- for GPO - from 7 to 12 tons.
- for GSO - from 5,5 to 7 tons.
Is this a win? Was it worth building a garden for this? Given that the launch price is significantly higher than the Proton price?
Where to go with such a product? Who needs it? It will not be in demand even in Russia due to its high cost. This project is outdated today because it is not competitive. Only the RF Ministry of Defense may be interested in it.
You can't go into the world market with him. It is not even a competitor to Musk products.
"Nine" Mask throws almost 23 tons on LEO without any problems for significantly less money, and there is no point in competing with Falcon Heavy at all. How to kill almost 64 tons in LEO?

[Wedmak]

So I waited for you to mention this rogue. I have argued a lot here on this topic and continue to believe that Musk:
a) takes funding from NASA and the Pentagon (this has already been confirmed from various sources)
b) his rockets are assembled from shit and sticks, using technologies transferred from NASA and are not a breakthrough, but a repetition in a more attractive shell
c) the first flight of Dragon with the crew almost ended in failure for the crew, pure luck (see about fuel vapor measurements after landing)
d) economically, to whom and for what purpose it is necessary to throw 64 tons on LEO? By the way, this has not been proven, but you can say anything you want.
e) no private space will be able to explore space in the near future, it is very expensive

The bottom line: a bluff on old technologies in a new wrapper with the money of the same buyers - NASA and the Pentagon.

[Blackmokona]

a) Performs contracts like its competitors, but much cheaper
b) The technologies were developed by SpaceX itself, the launch success is better than that of Proton
c) The detected pollution is two orders of magnitude lower than the norm.
d) The Pentagon buys the launches, the Arabs bought the launch, and they don't complain about anything.
e) Many private corporations are richer than average countries

[Wedmak]

a) Performs contracts like its competitors, but much cheaper

Financial reporting is not transparent, there is no data on how much it costs to detect the steps after their return, their transportation by sea, the cost of their repair and maintenance, how the steps are selected for start-up, etc.

b) The technologies were developed by SpaceX itself, the launch success is better than that of Proton

Nonsense. All technologies were transferred to NASA during the creation of SpaceX.

c) The detected pollution is two orders of magnitude lower than the norm.

Why are you telling a lie? "Found an excess of the norm of dinitrogen tetroxide, in large quantities it can be toxic, therefore, out of caution, we expect a decrease in its indicators," - said the host of the broadcast.
And this is after swimming in water ... The very appearance of this poison raises questions about the safety of the capsule.

d) The Pentagon buys the launches, the Arabs bought the launch, and they don't complain about anything.

Price for the Pentagon? For the Arabs? Where is the funding of the program from the Pentagon and NASA to be attributed - to launches or support of SpaceX pants?

e) Many private corporations are richer than average countries

Middle countries and even more so corporations do not participate in the development of launch vehicles and orbital stations. They send tourists there. What really private traders have developed are toys that have not reached the border of space.

All that Musk did was collect the technology given to him by NASA, the Pentagon money and, without regard to strict safety, environmental friendliness and technical processes, made rockets. It worked, lucky. He even returned the people alive. Also with a bit of luck.
Let's see what will happen next. With his dreams of settling Mars ... a dreamer.

[Blackmokona]

1) For whom not, and for whom not. For example, it has long been announced that the cost of launching a second-hand is significantly less than 50% of the cost of building a new one.
2) It remains only to find out where NASA can get these technologies, given that corporations are developing rockets and ships for it.
3) It was also later stated that there were 3 parts per billion, which is two orders of magnitude lower than the norm. Also, astronauts in spacesuits are not afraid of them even 3-4 orders of magnitude higher than the norm. And where it came from is already clear, because of the shape of the ship and the direction of the nozzle, a little gas accumulated in one place near the hatch and at the same time it was not washed off with water. They are going to fix it a little so that it is washed during planting.
4) The price of all government contracts of SpaceX is known and is lower than that of competitors from the ULA and Orbital
5) How do they also participate, and who do you think made Saturn-5, Skylab, Delta, Atlas, Pegasus, Minotaur, etc.? NASA or what? Haha
A simple example

The space shuttle program has been developed by North American Rockwell and a group of associate contractors on behalf of NASA since 1971.

[eklmn]

“The financial reporting is not transparent, there is no data on how much it costs to detect the steps after their return, their transportation by sea, the cost of their repair and maintenance, how the steps are selected for start-up, etc."
Nonsense, nonsense and nonsense are being driven !!! Serious business is not interested in the “cost of shipping by sea”, it is interested in the cost of launching and launch reliability!
Serious businesses are investing $$$ into SpaceX - dozens of different funds have already invested in his company Space Exploration Technologies.
Data for today:
“SpaceX raised a total of $ 1,33 billion in three rounds of funding in 2019. In April 2019, the Wall Street Journal reported that the company was raising $ 500 million in funding. In May 2019, Space News reported that SpaceX "raised $ 1,022 billion" the day after SpaceX launched 60 satellites as part of its 12000-satellite plan, called the Starlink broadband constellation.. By May 31, 2019, SpaceX's value rose to $ 33,3 billion. In June 2019, SpaceX began raising $ 300 million, most of which came from the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan, which then managed approximately $ 191 billion in assets.
As of February 2020, SpaceX has raised an additional $ 250 million in share placement. In May 2020, the company's valuation reached $ 36 billion. ”
And now - which investor is interested in the “cost of repair and maintenance”? It is impossible to understand the work of his business, having behind the back the experience of working as a dealer of yuzannyh cars - another level ...
And by the way - where did he get the money from the very beginning on SpaceX?
From here:
“SpaceX's original funding came from Musk, who used most of the money from the PayPal sale as capital for the project. He also received funding from Founders Fund, Draper Fisher Jurvetson, and Valor Equity Partners. In January 2015, Google and Fidelity invested $ 1 billion in a purchase of just under 10%. ”

[snucerist]

and). Speaking about sources, it would be nice to give links to them. Otherwise, sorry, this ... we will not continue. Further. Well, you have to be at least a little in the subject before starting a conversation about it.
NASA is far from a sponsor of SpaceX, but rather a competitor and blood enemy. Let's leave to the side all the revelations of Musk's struggle with NASA over the certification of the Falcons and Dragons. Let's forget that because of this, both projects were implemented much later. Let's delve into the history of relationships. After Bush's team, NASA only dealt with deep space and new technologies, the agency had to rely on start-ups. This is how the Commercial Orbital Transportation Systems (COTS) program was born, from the depths of which Elon Musk emerged.
But whatever one may say, COTS is a direct competitor to NASA. And NASA's attitude towards it was extremely negative. That is why SpaceX was chosen as a "partner" in near space, which had 3 out of 4 Falcon-1 launches in emergency (it seemed like an outsider, a fool). But Musk suddenly took it - and got up! Made a nine, made a heavyweight, made a full-cycle methane engine that really has no analogues in the world.
And NASA is forced to finance Musk today, because - where to go? The agency itself has nothing to offer in near space today, and the tasks of the government must somehow be fulfilled. And the fact that such funding has gone today is Musk's full credit. And no more. Musk has already laid the agency down. On July 23, NASA made a decision that the second regular manned flight to the ISS will use the first stage B1061, which is now being prepared for the launch of the first Crew-1 mission. But the ship for the second voyage will be used the one that is now docked to the ISS, serial number C206, proper name "Endeavor". So, here you will not only give money, here you will raise your hands up against the background of other people's successes.
Now about the Pentagon money. Do you even follow the news? Do you know how the Pentagon's money was distributed over the next five years? 60% of the money for Vulcan contracts from ULA and only 40% of SpaceX. And even then, because there is nowhere to go, because the products of the Mask really work.
b). What specific technologies did NASA transfer to Musk? Blueprints for F9? FH? On Dragon? The Raptor? On his alloys? Yes, NASA did not have any of this. This is all exclusively developed by the SpaceX team. Why lie?
in). I not only looked at the measurements after splashdown, I also know why they were carried out. Look at what chemical protection suits the crews of Apollo and X-37B were wearing. Remember what hydrazine is. After that, it will become clear why measurements are needed and why you need to check the QC for leaks.
d). Why is the Artemis project needed? Flights to Mars? Mars rovers? Deep space exploration? Starlink? Starship?
Why all this?
If you can sit idly by the Soviet legacy for two decades and be proud of the royal "seven", the poisonous Proton and the ancient Progress?
I am finishing. In less than that same 20 years, con artist Musk has done:
- the world's first reusable first stage of the Falcon 9 rocket;
- a powerful two-stage rocket Falcon 9;
- the most powerful Falcon Heavy rocket in operation in the world;
- the world's first (and so far the only) one-piece reusable cargo-passenger ship of the capsule type Crew Dragon;
- a truly unparalleled full-cycle methane engine in the world;
- started the implementation of promising projects Starlink and Starship.
What can Russia boast of?

[Wedmak]

What can Russia boast of?

Construction of a new cosmodrome from scratch in the forests of Siberia.
Development of the Angara modular rocket.
Dozens of successful launches, on which the Americans flew too.

But this is not the funniest thing, for the last 20 years we have been doing:

By raking up wars and conflicts unleashed with the help of the United States at our borders and within the country.
Preservation of industry, agriculture, science, etc., after the hard collapse of the USSR, when all production chains remained abroad.
Restoring almost from scratch the factories that remained abroad on their territory.
Let me remind you that all this time the United States and the European Union have been putting a spoke in their wheels, where and as soon as possible. They didn't need a competitor in any industry at all.
Survival under the sanctions of the United States and the European Union, when development was hampered by all means and measures, taking only what they themselves did not have, buying it for freshly printed dollars.
The Anglo-Saxons just wanted to have a controlled country from which they could cheaply suck hydrocarbons and other resources. Themselves meanwhile developed economically and bought up technologies, scientists, engineers around the world. Moreover, the development took place by banal theft of resources from other countries and luring people with large salaries.
And like a cherry, they planted in our officials a lot of thieves and outright saboteurs, who are now very difficult to expel from their homes. This also includes constant attempts to muddy the waters and sow chaos and mistrust throughout the Russian Federation.
I hope you understand that all this is connected: the economic state, industry, space and so on ...
We are just emerging from this whole pit (although a different name is needed here). Alas, but somewhere, in parts, we are still sitting in it.

[snucerist]

1. We will modestly keep silent about how much money was stolen for the construction of this cosmodrome. This is the scope of the UK. We are interested in something else - have the problems with logistics already been solved? Why was it necessary to build a cosmodrome in this place?
2. The Angara project is unprofitable and not competitive. Nobody needs him. I already showed it on my fingers.
3. Dozens of successful starts were on the Soviet legacy. What's in the asset today?
4. It is not worth describing the reasons why I supposedly didn’t. We are in the know. First we create problems, then we heroically overcome them. Everything is as usual.

In fact, the main task is to send 20-25 tons to the GSO.
Better yet, 35 ..

Yah???!!!
And where then did poor Angara-A5.1L flew away on December 23, 2014 from the USK 12P211 launcher of the Plesetsk cosmodrome? With PN 2 t (vehicle weight)?
I can remind you - on the GSO with a height of 35,8 thousand km.
In orbit, that means she was not ... Well, well ...

[MMX]

But this is not even the main point. The main thing today is the launch price. But Angara has a problem with this. Large and, alas, insoluble. And no one needs such a product without a reasonable price.

Again mantras about the cost of launch. Only now, no one knows the cost of launching Musk's missiles, since the data is not public. But the sect is sure that it is the lowest

[snucerist]

Yes, super accurate data to the nearest cent, perhaps not today. Nevertheless, some information is leaking out.
Let's start with the fact that from the financial report of the Khrunichev center for the last year it follows: the production price of the Angara-A5 LV is THREE TIMES higher than the price of Proton-M and is equal to 7 billion rubles. It is planned to reduce it to 2024 billion by 3, but this is highly doubtful. For the cost can be reduced only as a result of mass production, and how to launch a completely non-competitive product into a series is unknown.
But Proton has already been squeezed out of the international commercial space market by Musk carriers. Roscosmos tried to fight this. Since 2015, he was forced to reduce the cost of launches of his "Protons" for foreign buyers from $ 100 million to $ 70 million, and then to $ 65 million to compete with Falcon. But ... alas. Running from Musk is cheaper. Why?
Musk chose the option with maximizing internal production and minimizing the turnover of external cooperation. Those. focused only on its own domestic production. As a result, the price of the product dropped already at this stage, since it excluded the profit of outside contractors and subcontractors, who increased their price on every detail.
Further. SpaceX uses the most modern technologies, in particular, FSW (friction stirring) welding. This allows the power set to be made separately and then welded to the body. Material consumption, energy consumption, working time are saved and, ultimately, the price of the product is reduced again.
The main thing is that Musk made the first stage of the carrier reusable, the most expensive. But if it is disposable and completely burns out during launch, its full cost is included in the cost of the rocket. But if a stage is used 10 times (and we are waiting for the launch of the stage for the 6th time already the other day), then even taking into account the costs of inter-flight service, the price drops sharply. Finally, Roscosmos has already realized this.
That is why the re-launch of the Falcon 9 rocket costs about $ 50 million (for now, this figure will decline).
That is why even Proton, let alone Angara, cannot compete with the Falcon 9.

[Wedmak]

that from the financial report of the Khrunichev center for the last year it follows: the production price of the Angara-A5 LV is THREE TIMES higher than the price of Proton-M and is equal to 7 billion rubles.

This is not the cost of producing one rocket. This is the production price of the Angara complex. And at the initial stage. This includes the ground service complex, control devices, and more. It needs new, because the complex is new. As you understand, the investment in the ground complex is one-time and then only service. In fact, the price of the Angara-A5 rocket is only slightly higher than the price of ProtonM. Again, this is before the series is deployed.

That is why the re-launch of the Falcon 9 rocket costs about $ 50 million (for now, this figure will decline).

It won't, the real price is approaching $ 100 million, so for some reason, the launch price does not include transportation of accelerators back, their troubleshooting, repairs, etc. Americans are very fond of juggling numbers, easily throwing millions out of the sum, which are not directly related, but very important in terms of preparing it for the start.
Let's see how many times Musk will have an accident with an already used unit and what damage it will cause - this time. Secondly, I strongly doubt that people will be launched on an accelerator that has already flown. Stupidly, insurance companies will not let this be done.

[snucerist]

If the price of the Angara-A5 rocket "is only slightly higher than the price of the Proton-M", be so kind as to voice it.
A number.
And at the same time, explain how you can launch a product into a series if there is no demand for it.
Proof for the price of 100 million for the "nine", pliz, in the studio, empty chatter and verbiage is already starting to tire.
The launch price includes EVERYTHING. You don't understand elementary things.
I will try to explain, also juggling numbers.
Let's say the PH stage has a cost price of $ 30 million (the data is purely conditional, I only show the price reduction algorithm itself).
If it is disposable, then it burns out entirely, its price is included in the cost of the entire product, since the depreciation of the step is 100%.
Now let's take a reusable stage, designed for at least 10 launches (in the plans - much more). Depreciation of the cost of production in this case occurs in 10 steps and is thus equal to 10%. Those. $ 3 million. If we now add to this figure the cost of interflight maintenance, the cost of a one-time 2nd stage, the price of a fairing (by the way, it will also be reusable and worth a decent amount), the cost of renting a launch complex, operating the cosmodrome infrastructure, fuel, then even with all this, the launch F9 with a reusable first stage will be much cheaper than with a disposable one.
Is it really incomprehensible?
Is it really incomprehensible what has already become clear even to Roskosmos, since it started talking about the development of a reusable stage for the same Angara?

The materials of Roskosmos on the state procurement website say that 5 billion rubles will be spent on the manufacture of the first Angara-A2023M in 2024-6,1, and 2023 billion rubles for the second in 2025-6,2.
And then until 25, the price is 6.2 billion. Another 5 years no savings can be expected. Of course, the plans are enormous.

Already there "NASA said it had selected SpaceX to launch the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission on Falcon 9 in April 2021 from Kennedy Space Center Launch Complex 39A. NASA said the agency's total launch cost is 50,3 million. dollars, including the launch itself and other "mission-related" costs. "

The cost of services for the launch of a preliminary contract for A5 ~ $ 64mln. which is comparable to the services of launching the Proton-M rocket.

Quote: Perseverance

Which already lost almost the entire market

The "market" of launches in this segment for Russia is now closed by various protective conditions, this is a direct ban on the launch of satellites with American components from 2023 and high insurance for launches from Western companies. Therefore, Russia will now focus on proposals for the creation of satellites based on domestic serial satellite platforms with the sale of turnkey launch services. The nearest such launch is the Angosat-2 communications satellite.

No. A5 - series, A5M - tests. It also clearly states. Something no one says "wow" when F9 and F9FT are flying at the same time.

Exactly, that he flew on this counterattack at one cost, without a rise in price.
Angara is the champion of sawing

This is why such a conclusion? Great rocket. Perfect for a wide variety of tasks, including commercial.

Duc facts. Where are the commercial orders? We didn't have time to make the A5, but the A5M is already needed, which is not only more expensive, so more tests are required
Cheaper A5 does not affect A5M it

Yes, at the start of serial production. With an increase in the series, the price of the rocket will decrease.

The plans are enormous. Something is always all about the future.

So where's the sales contract for $ 64? Now so "Express-AMU4" is 2,33 billion rubles.
The materials of Roskosmos on the state procurement website say that the production of the first "Angara-A5M" in 2023-2024 is planned to spend 6,1 billion rubles, the second in 2023-2025 - 6,2 billion rubles.

Testing is always more expensive for the manufacturer. The price for launching a new media can be set the same as the old one.

The rocket is just passing its tests. There are orders for it. Including a purely commercial foreign - South Korean satellite for A1.2.

Any new missiles require testing. The A5M is followed by the A5B. Angara is a family of missiles.

About $ 33 million for the launch of a heavy space satellite with a disposable rocket? Musk would be jealous. No. 2,33 billion is the cost of manufacturing a rocket. The launch of the Express on the Proton-M LV costs more.

I still don't get it. Before talking about competitiveness, if you please, could you tell us the cost of launching Musk's rocket with reference to the source?

[Brancodd]

I generally keep quiet about the characteristics of the Angara

Yes, sometimes it's better to be quiet. Otherwise you run the risk of offending the European "exceptional" people with your pathos. By all characteristics, including price, Angara is superior to Arian 6. But EKA for some reason does not stop the development of an "outdated" rocket

There were no cuts - the A3 was not developed further than the preliminary design. In addition, the Soyuz-5 brings more payload.

And in August 1998, a default was declared by presidential decree, and the schedule went down the drain

good news ... the only thing that causes misunderstanding ... is the launch of the layout for a lot of money ... it would be possible to bring something useful in addition to the overall weight part ... there is also a risk on used products ...

[Sergey39]

Who knows what they mean by the word "layout"?

[Blackmokona]

Concrete cube.

[Sergey39]

Well this is unlikely.

[Wedmak]

Of course it is unlikely, there will be a cylinder.

And I heard fighters with the regime will be launched to Mars.

Are you proposing to launch Lada Grant into space with the buggy Fedya robot, as an answer to Musk, with his Falcon and Tesla? I represent the headlines of foreign media: Fedya on Grant conquers space

[Wedmak]

A good idea. And someday, hundreds of years later, catch them as an artifact of a previous civilization ...

But their safety in space will probably be excellent, in contrast to terrestrial conditions.

[g1washntwn]

It makes no sense to launch one "Grant" into space (an accident with Tesla in the asteroid belt was not enough for us yet), and the whole AvtoVAZ will not fit into the rocket)))

[donavi49]

So this is minimizing losses.

Well, that is, the launch itself is 200 million (for example), and which thread a military satellite in this launch can easily cost 500+. Therefore, it is better to lose 200 million than 700 .

Plus jambs with insurance.

Sometimes they start with useful, but not very expensive. For example KZ-11 flew directly from the Bilibili satellite and did not enter orbit. But in general, everyone is happy and Bilibili too, will fly to the next.

The fireflies will have DREAM on their first flight - this is their own development for 26 seats (satellites) - and it seems they will be filled with different cubes from schools and universities at no cost. And another orbital tractor (which will be able to move satellites from orbit to orbit), in a demonstrator version.

The methane volcano-centaurus on the first flight will carry the landing platform and the walker demonstrator to the moon right away ... But there the cost of the mission is ~ 100 million, excluding the launch. And the mission was collected by the type of startup + investment + grants from universities + ESA grant + NASA grant.

[Ryaruav]

Rogozin bit the bit well, well

[tralflot1832]

As it is unexpected. Unas is all gone? Good luck in transportation, at the same time we will check the logistics. Russian Railways will cope, I can imagine how they are preparing to receive the lettered trains.

[Nastia makarova]

and that Russian Railways had problems with this?

[tralflot1832]

On Baikanur this is one thing and in Plesetsk it is another.

[Nastia makarova]

and that never missiles were delivered there?)))

[Wwk7260]

interestingly, in light of the latest initiatives of Dmitry Olegovich, what kind of livery will Angara have? "Gzhel" or "Khokhloma"?

in fact, if a space market were developed in Russia and there were technologies for creating cubesats, it would be easy to fill test launches with university cubesats, which is very inexpensive and useful for student or commercial development.

In the world over the past 6-7 years, 1300 cubesats have been withdrawn
Now they are shoved into almost any launch, as an extra. load.
Spire Global - about 150+ cubesats
Planet Labs - about 350+ cubesats

Russia occupies a little more than 1% of this market

Not. GVMs are launched for specific purposes. Russian-made student and university satellites fly here in cluster launches. For example, in the near future, several such devices are to be launched, up to 5 kg 6U format:

That's exactly what these all-propals got out! What do you want like in Ukraine? Donbass is not enough for you? Rogozin is the world's best space manager, Roskosmos is the leader of launches, and you dance there on your Maidans.
