USC intends to create its own floating cosmodrome

The United Shipbuilding Corporation (USC) intends to create its own floating cosmodrome, which will be more efficient than the Sea Launch. As the general director of the USC Alexei Rakhmanov said in an interview with TASS, the possibility of creating such a cosmodrome is already being considered.

Answering the question whether USC is planning to develop its own cosmodrome instead of Sea Launch, Rakhmanov explained that there are such plans, and today's technologies make it possible to create a floating cosmodrome much more efficiently than Sea Launch, created back in the 90s of the last century.



We have some thoughts on this. There is a set of technological solutions that make it possible to make such a complex more efficient than it was 25-30 years ago. And we would like to return to this market, because we understand that this kind of superstructure will be in great demand.

- he explained.

The Sea Launch floating spaceport consists of the Odyssey floating launch platform and the command vessel. The international company Sea Launch was founded in 1995 with the participation of the Russian RSC Energia, the American Boeing company, the Norwegian Kvyarner, as well as the Ukrainian enterprises Yuzhnoye and Yuzhmash, which produced the Zenit-rocket for the cosmodrome. 3SL ", the only one adapted for launch from a sea launch site. A total of 36 launches were made, of which 33 were successful.

In 2014, the last missile was launched, as Russia stopped supplying components for rocket production, including RD-171 rocket engines, to Ukraine.

At present, Sea Launch is located in the Russian Far East, the project has been frozen "until better times."

    One could immediately understand that S7 was buying Sea Launch in the interests of third parties. Too much cost levels are incomparable. And building something else is also expensive in terms of money and time (this is perhaps a very significant factor), they will simply repair the old site, provide new equipment and that's it. And S7 would seem to be happy to sell this object due to the downturn in the economy.

        Whatever he has organized S-7, the level of costs for space launches is disproportionate.
        You either have a customer and you are trying to develop your business, or from scratch, but then there are no options at all! Look at the Americans, where private campaigns are engaged in space launches, NASA is involved everywhere, or the Pentagon with DARPA

          USC do not want to start with delivering the ships to the customer on time?

          USC was in the space launch market ???

          In the spring, strawberries are in demand. Good money can be raised by Mr. Rakhmanov. Tie up with shipbuilding.
          Everything that is possible you have advanced.

          Instead of a cosmodrome, I would have built a couple of docks.
          And then there is nowhere to repair Kuzya.

      The property issue is resolved quickly by printing out the wallet. Moreover, to buy illiquid assets that have no prospects of close use. Creating a new one is also a cost.

        Well, they apparently need these very costs. The budget must be cut somehow. And here, "her mother" COSMOS (!).
        Here, in the 90s. there was a joke about satellite launch. They say they took out a loan. to launch a satellite.
        The bank asks:
        - Well, where is your companion?

          The fact is that the companies working in the field of Space are state-owned. They don't need to cut the loot. The scope of work is planned for them, and prices are ASSIGNED. Have you already forgotten how the planned distribution economy worked in the USSR?
          I can tell you a little from my own experience. If you want to.

              I, too, in deep childhood, privately launched rockets with an engine stuffed by hand into a 12-gauge cartridge of black powder. Talking about a "firm" launching something from a Zhiguli trailer is not serious. The pampering of the quickie who dabbled in excess of .... and participates in the "race"? You're kidding.

                  Sure. And he had the first prizes (more than one) at the regional radio exhibition for appliances made in the kitchen on his knee. What shaped me as an electronic equipment designer. And a radio amateur with experience on the air since 1962.
                  Believe me, these gadgets are not expensive. Standard CAD programs, perseverance and half a year of work. I use a pirated Deep Track that outputs files for a cnc machine and with a PCB layout with 1000 holes auto-routing and 4 layers of images. Precision mechanics is the highlight of the program. Supermaterials ..... Engines, compressors, structural calculations ...

                        Well, brother, you definitely never stood in the shop and wondered how to get out of the situation and use what, for good reason, needs to be thrown into the junk and deducted from the salary of the bungler. It's easy to throw away. How to make a product on time? He, the scoundrel, will not be the only one to suffer. Hundreds of people are tied to this piece of iron, sometimes the interests of the country too. The Internet. Serious industries are not tied to the Internet. From the word at all.

                    And Moscow's money is not state money?


                    This is the money of the Moscow government, which it invests in the development of its city. The National Space Center is an integral part of the industrial high-tech cluster in Moscow. All Moscow space design bureaus will be concentrated there. Is this clear?

                    You first define the concept - WHAT IS MONEY. And then say, stupid. Money is the EQUIVALENT OF LABOR. The government, of course, does not work on material goods. No government has made a single screw or nail. It, as an element of the state, rules over money taken from those who create material wealth, goods. To the extent of the legality of this action. In other words, for everything, so that and whoever spends funds - the city, the state, the village - is all the money of the country's workers. There is no other money.

              Prices ....
              I'll tell you how the development price is determined in my industry. THEN.
              The prototype product is determined. Or an analogue. The volume of documentation (the entire complete set of design documents) is considered in A4 formats. Time and prices are determined according to ENIR. Multiply. the qualifications of developers are also assigned there. detail - technician - designer, circuit - electrical engineer or electronics engineer with salary ... General view - designer category 1 .... amount. Plus overhead. We have 694%. Plus the production of samples for testing - 2 ... 3 pieces. Their price is also similar. Plus for the novelty. TOTAL.
              How the product price is determined. The cost of all materials, components, energy, technological materials, wages, invoices, transport, PROFIT (we have 18%) TOTAL. With whom is it agreed? Only with its own ministry. WILL IT BE AGAINST? The buyer is not given a word. He simply includes in his costs the price of ours. And it has a rationale for its products. POINT. Both production and sale-purchase from the state pocket are financed. And he doesn't care how much it costs. Shifting from one section of the pocket to another does not give any interest. Whether it is DIFFERENT pockets of private traders or private traders and the state, it's another matter. There is only window dressing in an economical economy.

                There is no reason not to believe you. But you are a little about something else. We are not talking about a certain factory-made product, which is easy enough to cover, but about construction, which dances from the budget. It is not possible to check each item of the estimate when it comes to piece production and, moreover, of a rather large object. For a reason, estimates for large-scale construction are often revised and even several times. And as I said above, I have some experience in the construction of fairly large objects (retail and office complexes), where it is impossible to withstand the budget to a penny, since a bunch of variables from the customer and the contractor are included in the construction process. completely independent. Those. I mean. that the construction of a floating spaceport is not a pleasure boat for five people.

                  The pricing system in the USSR was the same for any product. Estimates, calculations, all were built on COST. Therefore, the economy of that time was called COST. It did not take into account the desire of the buyer, there was no competition. There reigned indifference. The planned economy excluded the ability to choose a supplier. Some planned so much, others planned to buy exactly so much. And for the price that the state approved. There was no choice in anything. During my work in the design bureau of the plant, we have consistently removed from production 5 generations of the product. The first cost 49 rubles, the last that I found there 865 rubles. I will describe the mechanism, if you wish. I don't want to be intrusive. It will be interesting, I'll tell you. I can tell you something interesting about the Quality Mark. And about the progress in mechanical engineering in the USSR. What was really going on there.

    I think the problem with such projects is very easy to solve - you just need to introduce personal responsibility for the program developers:
    1. Spent a billion and got no profit - 5 years;
    2. Buried 10 billion in the sand and did not achieve the result that he himself promised - 10 years and the confiscation of everything and everyone, up to family members (in the sense, not theirs, but to carry out the confiscation from them), etc.
    3. Achieved the stated goals of the program - promotion and other cakes. For deserved.
    But only when you offer developers something like that - they just almost laugh in response. Therefore, we will have new cosmodromes (like there, Vostochny, by the way), and Sakhalin shelves, and Rosgano in all its splendor ...

          This means 2 things:
          1. STP (scientific and technological progress). One rocket can accomplish tasks for which a bullet had to be shot for a whole year in the 70s.
          2. The absence of such tasks... Well, there is no demand ... The same Musk sits at the expense of the Pentagon ...

          So I am about this No categorical tasks. Achieved. There is no race as such. Some calmed down with the victory, others agreed with the situation. New threats FROM THERE, ABOVE, are not foreseen, we will still not be able to reflect the meteorites. A trifle can be bombed, but they will not create too much trouble, and it is useless to bomb a million tons of stones. Yes, and the resulting fragments can cause more trouble. They definitely get to the Earth, and SAM can slip by. You can't live on Mars. About the Moon .... In short, the swamp gurgled, gurgled and calmed down.

            Steam powered machines, the first railway, the first airplane, electricity, the invention of radio, television, these are all things from which at one time were "written with boiling water."
            Space flights are on the same list. When it seemed that it would turn everything upside down, there would be a giant leap into the future and humanity would learn the SECRET of its origin and the origin of the world.
            Space has become commonplace and does not promise major breakthroughs in the foreseeable future. And, it seems, does not bring us, now living, closer to solving this riddle.
            If you study only the Solar System, the satellite will fly to the periphery for tens of years, and no one stutters about exploring even the nearest stars.
            And our modern knowledge of the universe does not inspire much optimism, distances measured in billions of years, gas giants, frozen pieces (not even ice), radiation, emptiness and eternal cold ..

The difficulties and the size of the financial costs were revealed for a simple, damn it, flight inside our system. Discoveries that are relatively easily mastered by technology have been made. The FTL delusions are not supported not only by practice, but also by good theory. The CREATOR made sure that a sentient being NEVER met his own kind. I can continue to argue on this topic if anyone is interested.

          Delirium of a gray mare, do not be offended, I am not you, but your explanation.
          Projects when the institute needed to prove its effectiveness. Wasn't raising virgin lands justified? Corn introduction is everywhere and everywhere, isn't it justified? The construction of a paper mill near Baikal, isn't it ..... Trillions of investments in the construction of BAM was not justified? The turn of the northern rivers to the south ....?
          I will tell you a secret that you do not know about. Planning in the USSR came from the desire of departments to do what they CAN.
          Get to know this:
          https://public.wikireading.ru/51104
          Excerpt, in order to interest: But the production plan contains as many equations as there are different types of products. In the mid-1970s, when the great cyberneticist Viktor [1] Mikhailovich Glushkov first published in the USSR the reasoning that I am now retelling in a simplified way, 20 million types of products were produced in the USSR. This means that to calculate the plan, it was necessary to solve a system of 20 equations. And to perform for this 000 actions.
          Tired of counting zeros? Well, this can be done not manually, but on a computer. The fastest Soviet computer at that time performed 1 operations per second. And it took him to calculate the plan 000 seconds - approximately 000 years.
          True, in the Gauss method, many actions can be performed in parallel. That is, connect many computers to the case at once. And computers themselves are working faster every day. Now there are already billions of operations per second with a speed of operation. And if you connect a whole million (and there are no more in the whole world) computers with a hundred million performance, the plan for the USSR can be calculated in just 160 years ...
          In fact - thousands for 10-20. First, the coefficient before the exponent is far from one. Secondly, the overhead of organizing the parallel operation of computers takes away a significant portion of their performance. Hundreds of thousands and millions of computers will spend many times more time on interaction, on the exchange of intermediate results, than on the work itself.
          However, you can save something. For example, iron ore is not directly included in a plastic comb. Of course, the mold for the hairbrush is steel. And the tools for making the mold are steel. And the machines on which these tools are made contain a lot of iron. But at the intersection of the line "plastic comb" and the column "iron ore" there is zero. And there are a lot of such zeros in the system of material balance equations, according to which the plan is calculated. If you choose the right order of actions, most of these zeros will remain. For planned calculations, it is possible to reduce the exponent in the Gaussian method from three to two and a half. Although the proportionality coefficient in front of the degree increases many times. That is, the time for calculating the plan can be reduced to five to ten years.
          Comrade Gorbachev blurted out from the TV screen that: "Our metallurgists are great. They have undertaken to cook steel to order."
          MEANS, all this time they have been brewing what will come out.
          Baikonur. Forget and trample. Don't see the policy of Kazakhstan? Maintain the CITY, overcoming the ever-increasing resistance of his brother. Perspective? Not understood?
          There is another, more south-facing, and, in the desert, we have no place. We need launch routes, not over cities, so that ... you know. We need routes of injection directed to the north, as the most energetically advantageous.

            You shouldn’t have written so many words, it’s difficult to combine in a couple of seconds into a coherent thought. hi
            The construction of the plant began with where and to whom, at what price the products would go.
            The global projects that you wrote about are, to a greater extent, a sign of socialism and its possibilities.
            Economic return "0". Political dividends - 100%.
            What and what will outweigh?
            So don't complicate things like that.
            I am a production worker, my father is a production worker.
            How the projects were coordinated - this topic is a family conversation, in the evening over a cup of tea.
            Naturally, the construction of a school, a sanatorium, a rest home or a pioneer camp could not be considered the same as the construction of the Krasnoyarsk aluminum plant.
            What is the return on the fact that some kid or girl improved health for 24 days at sea?
            But they built icebreakers, riveted aircraft. I am silent about tanks and submarines. This is war.
            But the fact that in the Russian Federation the consumption of kerosene in comparison with the USSR has decreased 10 times, due to the fact that there was no one to fly.
            And then aircraft manufacturing died.
            And then they just bought it abroad, since there were no own ones.
            Here's how?
            Is this not politics?
            Degradation policy.
            The policy of relegation to the underdeveloped.
            Cutting policy (to get a rollback over the hill - two fingers on the asphalt).

    1. Purchase of S7, obviously according to instructions from above. Why would a successful airline spend a lot of money not on expanding its core business, but on a deliberately failed project? It's more logical to buy new planes. Airlines are a low margin business. Companies are balancing on the brink of survival. Any mistake leads to a fall.
    An example of Transaero.
    2. The USC management constantly makes loud statements. Either a contract for 50 ships, then a cruise ship, etc. Not to mention the repair of the aircraft carrier Kuznetsov.

    Answering the question whether USC is planning to develop its own cosmodrome instead of Sea Launch, Rakhmanov explained that there are such plans, and today's technologies make it possible to create a floating cosmodrome much more efficiently than Sea Launch, created back in the 90s of the last century.

    Truly, appetite comes with eating. It is completely incomprehensible what comes during the intense zhora.
    Here the other day they built-built and did not complete it:
    The cost of the launch infrastructure of the Vostochny cosmodrome in the Amur Region is estimated by Roscosmos at 120 billion rubles, and the entire cosmodrome - about 180 billion rubles, said the head of the state corporation Igor Komarov.

    Where to put it? Or do we have spaceships stacked in a warehouse, waiting for the launch queue? Or is it from your own, built using new technologies, a “sea launch” (there is no need to talk about the advantages of the location of the cosmodrome closer to the equator - they were taught at school when astronomy was an independent subject) it is “most effective” to waste money?
    Frisky, however, the guys went, the Moon-Mars mastered and came to grips with "sea launches". In the temporary detention center, they would have long ago drawn either a “taiga finish”, or smeared their forehead with “green stuff,” but here they puff something, busily discussing where else the billions unnecessary for the Russian country should be posted.
    Damn, build an all-Russian children's treatment center, so that parents do not shed tears, looking at the suffering of their children !!! fool MORE USE WILL BE !!!
    And here...

    How can you not remember that somewhere space is called space, because it is huge. And in Russia they realized that "space" - a huge space where you can "saw" huge budget funds for an idea ...Under long-term plans for the distant future ...

    Such bold claims suggest that USC has a full understanding of a number of points:
    - the need for a new start;
    - full knowledge of its structure;
    - knowledge of rocketry at the expert level
    - understanding which carriers will start from the new complex (i.e. knowledge that is not available even in Roscosmos)
    -Confidence that this work will be approved by the government and financed.

      Why Japan? Especially with Russia? They fit nicely into the international system. They work very closely with NASA. At the same lunar station, they will have a module. There are several on the ISS + its own supply truck + an active quota for Japanese cosmonauts with a permanent presence on the ISS.

      They also combine their own research program, their own telecommunications findings, with international programs. Feel free to buy space on the media. At the same time, they sell launches to the market, the first Arab AMS flew to Mars at the expense of a Japanese rocket.

      They have good rockets in general, but if it is necessary to throw heavy and on the geostationary, then they buy (or even get seats with discounts from the same ESA, due to mutually beneficial services under other programs).
      Just recently, their 3,5 tonne flew to the high Kura on Ariana.



      Their heaviest rocket carries from Tanegashima the heaviest supply truck of the ISS - Kuonotori, 6 tons of payload per flight, and the total launch vehicle capacity is 19 tons.


      They have a promising epsilon, in the most popular niche for the future 600-1500kg.


      They make a new H3 rocket, 8 tons. Cheaper than the current H2 (light and heavy version).

      And most importantly, in their rocket program, they made a base bet on hydrogen + oxygen. And all their achievements, achievements, technical lines lie in this area. Launching hydrogen rockets from a sea launch would be expensive and very troublesome.

        Why Japan? Especially with Russia?


        All this did not prevent Japan from asking Russia to join the project of the Spectr-UF astrophysical observatory.

        Roskosmos approved Japan's request for participation in the project and put forward counter demands - Japan must comply with the terms of delivery of samples and models of its spectrographs.



        The launch of the Astrophysical Observatory Spectr-UV (Ultraviolet) is scheduled for October 23, 2025.

          Well, I wrote about this:
          They also combine their own research program, their own telecommunications findings, with international programs.

          They try to participate in every international scientific mission. If possible.

    Is the day of the searchlight at the USC today, or did Rashmonov get a special ride? Either Sharks in gas carriers? Did you just try to make river transport inexpensive and without a sawmill?

      It's just that river transport is inexpensive, but one devil will lose to Russian Railways .. - because navigation is not year-round in the country ..

        Well, for this, let's probably transport equipment and people in private cauldrons for 10 people on board on rafts from logs? Rivers, space, roads are not needed, but what are they needed? Oh, I know, there are a lot of gasterbayters !!! The sun-faced himself said.

      Sea Launch is owned by S7 Space, a subsidiary of S7 Airlines. Do you often look at other people's salaries? This is usually what the losers do in life. laughing

          As for Sea Launch, the triumphant march of "effective managers" fits into the noisy phrase about "an entrance ticket to space" by Sergey Sopov, CEO of S7 Space
          to
          "- You know, now we really have no time for this.",
          when the owner of S7, Vladislav Filev, announced the freezing of the Sea Launch project, admitting that the placement of a complex for launching space rockets in Russia turned out to be unprofitable. \ _ (ツ) _ /
