The United States worried about the space capabilities of Russia and China

The capabilities of Russia and China in space are of concern to the United States. This was stated by the commander of the US Space Force, General John Raymond, in an interview with The New York Times.

When asked by reporters, Raymond said Russia and China have many opportunities that deeply worry the United States. Among the listed "threats" the general noted "various laser systems", as well as satellites capable of destroying US spacecraft.

The threat we see today is very strong. (...) Think of lasers that can blind or disrupt our systems. Both China and Russia have several ground-based laser systems of varying power (...)

- he said.



Talking about other "threats", Raymond, as an example, cited a Russian satellite, which he compared with a matryoshka, without giving any additional information about it. According to him, Washington knows for sure that it is intended to attack American spacecraft in low-earth orbit.

China, which also possesses satellites that threaten American capabilities in orbit, did not bypass the general, announcing a satellite with a "robotic arm."

The general stressed that the US space capabilities are at the heart of national defense, and opponents in the person of Russia and China know this and are making every possible effort to "deny Americans access to outer space."

I am not a public-state person. The way I write here, the face of a state corporation does not suffer. Rogozin's case is somewhat different.

        The number of launches is a really serious argument for determining the parameter of WHO in fact is the master of space - you can operate with this parameter from the sofa.
        In fact, another parameter is really important: HOW MANY US satellites perform their function in orbit.
        And as soon as it becomes known to the media that this function suddenly, as a result of the orbital activity of satellites - "inspectors" of Russia and China, began to noticeably decrease, then another portion of sanctions will be taken against Russia - and Russia will immediately fall into a coma! laughing laughing Yes

        Let's see how many scientific vehicles have been launched by the USA and the Russian Federation

        How many spacecraft have been launched to asteroids in order to establish the composition and the possibility of using them as a resource base?
        Who investigated the spectral composition of lunar fossil deposits and chooses a strategy for the development of the lunar resources?
        Who is already flying new manned ships, and who is redesigning them for the third time in 12 years (aka PPTS, aka PTK NP, aka Federation, aka Eagle).

          Here's the latest news: a new look for the Russian convolution has been defined. How! Finally, we were honored. Determined the appearance.
          Now, it turns out, the KRK STK will be equipped with the RD-182 and RD-0169 engines. Which are not yet available, but this is, of course, trifles. On the other hand, methane already rules, and the KKK will definitely be made by 2028 according to Putin's decree.
          In this case, therefore, RD-171 and RD 180 are put into the trash can. As well as all the developments on them for superheavy. But the money for this monkey labor has already been mastered. Not life in RK, but lafa.

            I fully support.
            This idiot drags on with H1, when they wrote off 4 billion rubles spent on the development of the launch vehicle, the MIC building, the plant on the test site (not transportable) and 2 launches (one of which was restored after the accident and the second H1 fell on it).
            Engines N1 starting from NK-15 (11D51) and its modifications for the upper stages NK-15V (11D52), NK-19 (11D53) NK-21 (11D59) and their reusable modifications for N1 NK-33 (11D111), NK-43 (11D112), NK-39 (11D113), NK-31 (11D114) - into the furnace.
            But these are engines that are record-breaking in terms of service life (some copies of the NK-33 operated in total up to 14 thousand seconds, long-term tests were carried out to failure. Life tests of the NK-33 - worked 16 starts without removing from the stand, worked 15 thousand seconds)
            This is just trying to replicate Musk with his 172 tf thrust Raptors. (200 bar in the CS, thrust of 1 kN, passed 000 bench firing tests with a total operating time of 42 seconds. The longest test lasted 1200 seconds).

            Then the development of Energy - 2 starts and in the urn. And now her engines go there too ...

            What we have is not effectively used.

              NK-33 - production stopped long ago. There are about a dozen engines left, which are effectively used in the Soyuz-2.1v carrier rocket until they are fully used up. After these engines run out, the rocket will be transferred to the RD-193.

              Do not lie. Only a few days ago, successful firing tests of the RD-171MV engine for the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle took place. This launch vehicle is being created for the Baiterek complex and its first launch will take place in 2023.

            Why did you suddenly decide that you can tell me what to judge or not judge?
            Am I paying taxes to the wrong country?

            The fact that I am not currently working in the RCT industry does not mean that I do not care.

            From the moment the shameful shopkeepers "leaked" Phobos-Grunt - having mastered the money, putting Chinese boards instead of American ones (due to poverty or out of economy) - there were many opinions in the industry about what and how they did to throw this "long-term construction" into orbit, " and there the grass does not grow "and it does not get better.
            Yes - some units are being installed, but on the whole the shopkeepers make only the hull, there is a hopeless lag in the on-board computer. In terms of antenna survivability, there is a lag, which is why our satellites have a half or three times less resource.

            2011 - Astrophysical Observatory "Spectrum-R" - an interesting project, a high orbit, unfortunately, the same problem of Russian carbon-fiber reinforced plastics - cracking of antenna frames for 5 years (from this warranty period) - worked well, there are no questions - lasted until 19 years.
            2013 - biological satellite Bion-M No. 1 - flight duration 30 days in low orbit - in fact a controlled capacity - nothing special or complicated.
            2014 - scientific and technological satellite Foton-M No. 4 - no more progressive than Bion-M in terms of capabilities
            2016 - the first part of the ExoMars project (development of the ESA rover, participation of Roscosmos - only a 50-year-old "cart" for overclocking (mission failed) - it is doubtful that it was worth mentioning this fact - the result is zero. We will see the second attempt.

            2016 - scientific satellite "Lomonosov" - the estimated period did not fly off (only 2 years)

            2019 - Spectrum-RG astrophysical observatory - yes - in half with the Germans - I was waiting for this launch, and even the shopkeepers gathered on their platform - but since the Germans are not under sanctions and could buy reliable American electronics, the shopkeepers' hardware will work for 5-8 years.
            It is difficult to compare with the X-ray telescope Spektr-RG with the optical James Webb Space Telescope, for different purposes. But in terms of mass, less than half, in terms of capabilities - a 6,5 meter mirror made of beryllium alloy is not comparable at all - this is something.
            2021 - multipurpose module "Science" - this shameful long-term construction from the backlog of 1995-98 ... which has been fighting with shavings in tanks and pipelines for 8 years ... it's better not to mention
            2021 - AMS "Luna-25" in comparison with the Chinese lunar rover is not a breakthrough ...
            We'll see the rest.

            From this list, how many interplanetary research vehicles - with a stretch of "moon 25 26 27" can be interplanetary - their contribution to research can be compared with a Mars rover? Of course not.
            At best, a geosynchronous telescope and several spacecraft into a circumlunar orbit, which in ballistics and power engineering is slightly more expensive than a geosynchronous orbit. The rest biosatellites on LEO are special cases - nothing particularly interesting or breakthrough.
            Where are the one and a half ton rovers? Where are the flights to Saturn, Jupiter. I no longer ask about Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Mercury, Venus.
            I'm not even saying that in the applied use of resource asteroids, they will be ahead.

            Of the promising ones, the PTK NP will be middling, taking into account the fact that they could not master the production of a carbon fiber hull, when the Americans refused to sell us a binder for carbon plastics (which does not crack under the conditions of outer space and a large number of SC / RR cycles)

              The observatory uses the same Navigator platform. The Germans have nothing to do with this platform. There is only the second telescope there. The observatory has been successfully operating for almost two years at the L2 Lagrange point - beyond the orbit of the Moon.

                Moon 25,26,27 is the practical beginning of the Russian lunar program for many years to come. We plan to use the European rover "Rosalind Franklin" in the second part of ExoMars, together with the Russian long-lived on-planet platform "Kazachok" - our instruments are also on the European rover.

                Are you sure? laughing

                "Crew Dragon" - 9,3 cu. meters in the pressurized volume, toilet over the head of the crew.
                Soyuz MS - 10,5 cubic meters meters in a pressurized volume, a toilet in a separate utility compartment.

                Wrong. The experimental composite body VA PTK NP was made in Germany. According to the test results, it was abandoned in favor of aluminum, due to toxicity for the crew. The body of the engine module is composite. The characteristics of the ship are higher than those of a classmate.

                    You are confusing RV and LV. The descent vehicle is part of the Soyuz spacecraft. The returned one is an entire ship. The IA concept is implemented in the PTK NP. By the way, the toilet, unlike Cru Dragon, is in a separate booth.

                    I did not understand your passage. The descent vehicle of the Soyuz spacecraft cannot land with an unseparated utility compartment. The compartment is always detached before launching. Another thing is that a very long time ago, the BO from the SA fired back earlier than the PAO, and after the incident with the Soviet-Afghan crew, the separation procedure was changed.

                      Industrial grade microcircuits are manufactured in Taiwan by the American company TSMC. "Mars" made a fatal design mistake - in their opinion, the RB control system had to work for a certain time during which these microcircuits would not be exposed to the long-term effects of the space environment. But, they miscalculated - the circuit went out of order immediately. If "FG" had used the usual proven "Fregat", this problem would not have happened, but it had its own RB - in fact, a part of the "Fregat" without its own SU.

      Not God knows how much, but the process is slowly going on. And the truth about lasers and satellites:
      Periodically, there is information about "satellites-inspectors" - spacecraft capable of actively maneuvering in space, approaching the enemy's satellites for "inspection". These satellites-inspectors include the spacecraft "Kosmos-2491", "Kosmos-2504", launched in 2013 and 2015, respectively.
      The newer is the spacecraft "Kosmos-2519". It is assumed that the Kosmos-2519 spacecraft can be executed on the Karat-200 platform (developed by NPO Lavochkin), capable of operating in orbits up to geostationary.
      In July 2020, the Interfax news agency announced the successful testing of one more satellite inspector. And in January 2020, the Russian satellite-inspector Kosmos-2543 approached the American reconnaissance satellite at a distance of about 150 kilometers. After which the American satellite corrected its orbit.

          Unfortunately, we are not rhino, and they are not mice!
          They will blame their problems on everyone around ... we too will get a lot.
          all the more, our countermeasures are lagging, or even not noticeable at all, in some directions.
          It's like in a joke - "give me a bowl of soup and I'll have them all ... all, in short!"
          So, NOBODY WILL GIVE us this bowl of soup, even their own, cooked with their own hands, they strive to take away !!!

            I am not against it, but for this it is necessary to act as a united front, and the existing capital system has the ultimate goal of destruction and not creation.

    as an example, he cited a Russian satellite, which he compared with a nesting doll ...
    This is the reason for new sanctions due to the production of matryoshka dolls and the use of "seven in one" technology.

    That Biden, that Trump is one hell for Russia. The only difference is that Biden will quickly bring the US economy to "Legman Brothers". Soon it will be so easy and light there, without any Chinese lasers, that it will not seem like a little.  laughing

    Russia and China have many opportunities that deeply worry the United States.
    Let him think better about the printing press, which is already red with strain and on which not only American space depends, but the existence of the United States in principle. And China and Russia, well, you yourself made them enemies, there is nothing to blame now.

    Meanwhile, Russia and China today signed a memorandum on the creation of a joint International Scientific Lunar Station (ISL).



    The International Scientific Lunar Station is a complex of experimental research facilities created on the surface and / or in the orbit of the Moon, designed to carry out multidisciplinary and multipurpose research work, including the exploration and use of the Moon, lunar observations, fundamental research experiments and technology verification with the possibility of long-term unmanned operation with the prospect of a human presence on the moon.

    More Franks themselves did not fly into space.
    She returned alive. But they decided to "investigate" it.

    The second rocket exploded at the launch pad. laughing

    2011 - Astrophysical Observatory "Spectrum-R"
    2013 - biological satellite Bion-M No. 1
    2014 - scientific and technological satellite Foton-M No. 4
    2016 - the first part of the ExoMars project
    2016 - scientific satellite "Lomonosov"
    2019 - Spectrum-RG astrophysical observatory

    In total, for the whole 10 years, it was launched:
    3 satellites - which could not even work out their missions in a regular way and were terminated prematurely due to technical malfunctions
    1 - complicity in a European mission, which also became unsuccessful (with a stretch, partially successful)
    1 - orbiting telescope (which has already died in Bose)
    1 - participation in the international Spectrum-RG, where the main instrument is European, and the quasi-domestic instrument is made from the mirrors of the sworn partner.

    And how do you assess these results with the number and quality of foreign missions over 10 years? How do you rate yourself?

    Raymond, as an example, cited a Russian satellite, which he compared with a matryoshka, without giving any additional information about it. According to him, Washington knows for sure that it is intended to attack American spacecraft in low-earth orbit.

    Raymond is sure and that's it. Evidence ... What evidence? Russians are cunning. If there is a matryoshka, then the satellite can also be a matryoshka)))
