NASA announced the date of the first regular manned flight of the Crew Dragon spacecraft to the ISS

NASA has decided on the date of the first regular manned flight of SpaceX's newest American spacecraft, Crew Dragon, to the MSC. According to the website of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the first flight is scheduled for November 14 this year.

NASA and SpaceX plan to launch a rotational mission to the ISS on November 14 at 19:49 US East Coast time (November 15 at 02:49 Moscow time) as part of the agency's commercial manned flight program

- said in a statement.

The crew of Crew Dragon will include 4 people: NASA astronauts Michael Hopkins, Victor Glover and Shannon Walker, as well as Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency JAXA astronaut Soichi Noguchi. Upon arrival at the ISS, they will join the station's crew, which includes Russian cosmonauts Sergei Ryzhikov and Sergei Kud-Sverchkov and NASA astronaut Kathleen Rubins.

The timing of the stay of the American spacecraft near the ISS has not been announced.

Recall that Crew Dragon made its first successful flight in automatic mode in March 2019. On May 30, 2020, the spacecraft sailed to the ISS in manned mode with two NASA astronauts on board after a nine-year hiatus due to the closure of the shuttle program. This was the last major test of the ship prior to certification. Once certified, Crew Dragon will begin regular commercial manned flights to the ISS.

I hope ours don't fly on it?

[Blackmokona]

They will fly, but on the next flights

The first flight of the Russian cosmonaut to the International Space Station (ISS) on the American spacecraft Crew Dragon is scheduled for mid-September 2021, Anatoly Zak, an expert in the field of Soviet and Russian astronautics, said on Twitter.

[zwlad]

Well, by that time, maybe some other sanctions will be introduced.
Let them fly on their own dragons, and let ours fly on their own.

And when they really assemble and launch you again troll like: - "To do and run a little, that's when they fly to the moon then we'll talk", but there will be no one to talk to, you will again change into a new critical way because trolling is not a bag to move.

[Kildin]

Tell me, what has roscosmos done over the past 10 years? Angara does not fly, Eagle aka Federation is at the stage of a cardboard layout, Vostochny does not function.

[Irokez]

- Putting living people into orbit and lowering them is one of the most important achievements working for everyone on the ISS for 9 years (and now NASA has finally created something of its own, and that is still damp and little-tested).
- Created a new rocket carrier based on its technologies and components and components independent of foreigners. It is new and with today's new technologies.
- Eagle (federation) is also a new manned ship that will update everything and it is slowly, but confidently being created and there is no need to rush, because there must be a reliable product with maximum efficiency and convenience where everything must be foreseen and worked out even at the development and design stage. If we are 1-2 years behind in this, then this is not a defeat, but painstaking and confident work. We can launch people into space even without Eagle on reliable Soyuz, and soon another ship will appear, but there is no need to rush here (this is not critical for us).
- East is being built like everything else. Naturally, it does not function yet, but it will not last forever and in 1-3 years everything will work and you know about it, but for some reason you ask a stupid question.
- A very promising and effective nuclear tug has already begun to be assembled in metal, and this is another unique and breakthrough direction. NASA does not have such an analogue yet, although there were similar surveys.
And yes everywhere there are thieves, schemers and businessmen (they have always been and will be in the whole world), but they still will not interfere with the completion of what is needed. After all, a new carrier rocket, a manned spacecraft and a launch pad are being created (by the way, they began to restore the sea launch), so that it would be possible to fly into space with great potential and efficiency. And not only near space, but also the Moon and Mars to master on the new technology, because the old one does not pull. But this requires time and resources, which we solve alone from the whole world.
Well, do not forget that with the money allocated for space, we are doing worse than the USA, Europe, China or India, which also affects the timing of the implementation of our projects, as well as all sorts of sanctions and the need to raise a military officer for the same budget money. If it were not for the military commissar - but into space, then everything would have been implemented long ago. Space is very expensive.
Therefore, not everything is as bad as it seems, they just got used to the fact that if ours flew somewhere, then it is considered commonplace and so it should be, and when a foreign one flies, then immediately oh-oh-oh-oh they fly, and we are all marking time ... Someone earlier, someone later masters, but in general there is parity.
And what about Armata at one time, PACAF also said that these are pictures and there is nothing in the metal, but then it turned out that there is and is already ready (albeit with a delay) for mass production.
Everything will be fine with us.

Booster rocket:
Soyuz-2.1b is a three-stage medium-class launch vehicle for launching spacecraft, including manned spacecraft of the Soyuz series. It is one of the modifications of the Soyuz-2 launch vehicle family, developed by modernizing the Soyuz-U launch vehicle.

Payload:
GLONASS-K # 15L is the third satellite of the K series, the newest version in the navigation constellation. Although the two previous GLONASS-K launched in 2011 and 2015, there was a five-year hiatus due to the lack of components for next-generation spacecraft, such as specialized aerospace-grade electronic components. The deficit stemmed from Western sanctions that banned the supply of dual-use avionics to Russia after the annexation of Crimea to Russia. In response, the Russian government announced an export substitution program aimed at supplying locally produced electronics.

followed by a break of five years due to the lack of components for new generation spacecraft,

Some kind of garbage. Electronic components were purchased for Glonass-K back in the XNUMXs. The interruption in the launches of K-series spacecraft was due to several reasons:

1. The platform was being finalized based on the results of orbital tests of two spacecraft. At this time, a stock of several spacecraft of the previous generation was created, but with new expanded functionality.

2. GLONASS spacecraft are launched according to the actual state of the satellites in the constellation. Those. as soon as there are prerequisites for the failure of the spacecraft in the system, the device flies to replace it.

No one is to blame that the Glonass-M spacecraft turned out to be very tenacious and are already working out their second warranty period. And in total in the "K" series - eight more spacecraft will be launched.

1. New commercial platform for remote sensing satellites.



2. A new large astrophysical observatory operating beyond the orbit of the moon.



3. New maneuvering satellites, inspectors, terrifying US Space Command.



4. New use of the proven Soyuz-2 rocket with the Fregat upper stage for commercial launches of large clusters of foreign LEO satellites using Russian plasma engines.



5. New domestic communication satellites, launched by a pair with excess mass into geostationary orbit, using plasma propulsion engines.



6. A new high-speed method of delivering astronauts to the ISS in 3 hours 3 minutes, which allows the crew to adapt in zero gravity in large volumes of the orbital station.



And this is just the tip of the iceberg. And how many interesting new products are still being prepared for launch in the near future.

Rogozin is just a talking head (by the way, like Musk) - this is his job. And he doesn't speak badly.

Why compare the incomparable? A manager with a non-core education with general designers?

Why with general designers, you can compare the same with an effective manager. At the origins of cosmonautics (and not only), there was a well-known, and probably the most slandered of all the leaders of the time, Lavrenty Pavlovich Beria. Comparing these two personalities, one can surprise at the depth of the fall of our present state.

[alekseykabanets]

Quote: bk316

If you are already writing about history, please study the materiel ...

The space launch of the Soviet Union dates back to the creation in 1945 of an "office" headed by Lavrentiy Beria with a name that does not say much to the uninitiated: the Special Committee under the State Defense Committee of the USSR.
The second directorate of the Special Committee was engaged in rocketry.

Quote: bk316

In general, the space project really began to somehow develop at least somehow from the R-5 (before that there were stupid attempts to repeat the V-2)

We can say that P-1 is a creatively reworked and improved V-2. Starting with R-2 and R-3, practically nothing remained of the V-2. For the R-4 rocket with an air launch), I generally keep silent.

Quote: bk316

At that moment Beria had already been shot.

The beginning of the development of the R-5 is 1949, the year of Beria's death in 1953, so for your information. And also tell R-5, R-7 appeared from scratch? This I mean that sometimes it is useful to think before accusing someone of something.

Quote: bk316

And in general, a young man, you are now in correspondence with a man whom Chelomey rocked on handles and who drank vodka with Efremov.

Should I cry with happiness? And how does this relate to your panegyrics to "extremely effective manager Rogozin".

[Irokez]

The problem is not forgetfulness, but money.
When they flew to the moon, their economy was above the roof, plus a desire to be ahead of us in some way. And today debts, loans, some of the technologies are different, and the old ones have been rolled up. In addition, as in the program with the F-35, they do not want to invest themselves and want to attract partners, and offer Russia a small module and fly to the moon. In short, they want to be the owners of the project and collect strings from the world for small money.

[eklmn]

This is what Europe will build and what it gets in return. And what Russia has lost.
“In accordance with this agreement, ESA will create habitable and refueling modules, as well as provide communication of the station with the lunar surface.
In addition, ESA will provide two European service modules for the NASA Orion manned spacecraft, which will include propulsion engines and provide the capsule with energy, water and oxygen as part of the mission. In return, according to the agreement, ESA will receive “the opportunity to send its astronauts on American ships to the Gateway station. The staff will be able to conduct research around and on the Moon, as well as conduct experiments and implement the technologies necessary for a future mission to Mars. ”

[Irokez]

But here everything is smooth for them, but for us they can impose sanctions on flights to the moon, and therefore it is impossible to negotiate with amers on their terms. There is only one way out yourself or with reliable partners, but not with democracy.

[eklmn]

"... but for us, they can also impose sanctions on flights to the moon, and therefore it is impossible to negotiate with amers on their terms."
During the entire existence of the sanctions, neither the United States nor Russia has used them against “normal” business that is not related to know-how. Traded and traded in aluminum, titanium, gas / oil. It's another matter that Russia's business reputation is tarnished by irresponsibility - Zarya agreed to make the module, but said that there was no money. The USA gave money, and then the readiness of the module began to move in time, to lag behind the deadline. I suspect that Rogozin made a beautiful feint by refusing to cooperate with the United States - there really is no money, just as there are no modern technical sites where modules can be developed quickly and on time.
