Roscosmos conducted firing tests of the second stage of the Angara-1.2 launch vehicle

Roskosmos has conducted successful firing bench tests of the second stage of the Angara-1.2 light-class launch vehicle. This was reported by the press service of the state corporation.

The tests took place on October 23 at the test complex of the Scientific Testing Center of the Rocket and Space Industry (NRC RCP). Specialists of KB "Salyut" of the State Research and Development Center named after M.V. Khrunichev, Research Center of the RCP and KB of Chemical Automatics carried out a comprehensive check of all systems of the second stage of the carrier and the objectivity of the design and technological solutions.



As the press service explained, the positive results obtained make it possible to make a decision on the admission of the Angara-1.2 launch vehicle to the continuation of flight design tests.

Recall that in mid-2020, work was carried out in Russia within the framework of the following projects: light-class missiles - Angara 1.1 and Angara 1.2, in the middle class - Soyuz-5, in the heavy class - the launch vehicle - Angara-A5, heavyweight class - "Angara-A5V". The Angara-A3 project never existed, since there was a Zenit rocket, which was replaced by the Soyuz-5.

Angara is a family of new generation Russian space rockets. Oxygen-kerosene universal rocket modules - URM-1 (for the first and second stages of the launch vehicle) and URM-2 (for the upper stages of the launch vehicle) serve as the basis for creating versions of the Angara launch vehicles. The number of URM in the first stage determines the carrying capacity of the launch vehicle.

The universal rocket module is a complete design consisting of oxidizer and fuel tanks connected by a spacer and an engine compartment. URM-1 is equipped with an RD-191 liquid-propellant engine, and URM-2 is equipped with an RD-0124A engine.

        It is unlikely, there are now arrests. Roman Bobkov, director of the Vostochny cosmodrome, was arrested and placed in custody. Together with his accomplice, he is accused of fraud that caused damage of half a billion rubles.

                    On November 29, 1979, the Kuibyshevsky court in Leningrad sentenced 18-year-old Prigozhin to the first term under the article "theft", and in 1981 the Zhdanovsky court sentenced him to 12 years in prison under articles of the Criminal Code "robbery", "fraud", "involvement of a minor into criminal activity ". He also involved minors in prostitution, for which he was also convicted by the court. Out of 12 years, Prigozhin served only 9 years in the colony. In 1988 he was pardoned and in 1990 he left the colony-settlement.

      There was a preliminary project from the design bureau. And the plant then exhibited its proposals for carriers at MAKS. In the end, A3 was not needed, as there will be other carriers in this niche.

      The Angara lineup today includes missiles:

      A1.2 - light up to 3,8 tons per LEO
      A5 - heavy up to 24 tons per LEO
      A5M (P) - heavy upgraded to 27 tons at LEO

        The biggest paradox is that Angara was presented as modular. The central spire of Angara 1. And round the first stage additional engine. As much as needs. Even the jokes were about two layers. So Angara 1, 2, 3 and so on quite a place to be.

          It is modular. Read carefully above, it consists of URM-1 and URM-2. You can add two types of upper stages - the commercial "Breeze-M" from Proton and the native "Perseus" based on the DM-03. The carrier A1.2 also has an aggregate module - a kind of booster stage, outwardly similar to the "Breeze-KM" from Rokot. So it was burned yesterday.

              I'll explain to you too - it was only on paper and in the models of the design bureau. All. In the terms of reference and after the conclusion of the contract for the creation of the KKK, this configuration was not. There was an attempt to fasten the A3 version to the Sea Launch, after the Zenit was abandoned, but after the sale of the latter to private owners, they refused it. And then a contract was signed for the production of Soyuz-5 with another plant, and the A3 was dropped by itself.

              A3 would theoretically output ~ 12,5-14 tons to LEO.
              Soyuz-5 will transport ~ 18 tons to LEO, which is more in demand now.
