"Engine completed": Firing tests of the RD-171MV rocket engine completed

143

NPO Energomash completed a full cycle of firing tests of the first advanced liquid-propellant rocket engine RD-171MV, the tests were recognized as successful. This was reported by the press service of Roscosmos.

In total, within the framework of the tests, eight fire tests were carried out over the course of three months, which confirmed the engine's operability. The next stage will be a series of tests as part of the first stage of the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle. The engine will soon be sent to Samara to the Progress RCC.



Now, according to the results, we can say - yes, the engine took place!

- said the general director of Energomash Igor Arbuzov.

According to the chief designer of NPO Energomash, Petr Lyovochkin, the fire tests of the RD-171MV have once again shown the ability of the enterprise's staff to create the most advanced rocket engines in the world.

The new RD-171MV engine is a modification of the RD-171M engine, which is used in the first stage of the Zenit launch vehicle. It is being developed for the new Soyuz-5 medium-class launch vehicles and super-heavy missiles.

NPO Energomash said earlier that the capacity of the RD-171MV is 246 thousand horsepower, and the thrust with a mass of 10 tons exceeds 800 tons. The first engine will be installed on the first stage of the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle, which is scheduled to launch in 2022 from the Baikonur cosmodrome.

The Soyuz-5 medium-class launch vehicle (Irtysh) is being developed by the Energia Rocket and Space Corporation according to a preliminary design previously approved by Roscosmos.

              “In the modernized version,” says Pyotr Lyovochkin, “we have implemented all the experience that we gained during the creation of the RD-180 and RD-191, and also moved on. This includes increased protection against fire, new filters, coatings, the most modern materials and technologies for their processing, a new control system, a faster-acting emergency protection system that sees the problem at an earlier stage and instantly turns off the engines.

              There is one more important advantage of our engine, which must be used in the future. The point is that the side blocks of Energia were planned to be reusable. The technology for their parachuting was created, the place for storing the parachute was envisaged. After the flight or firing tests at the stand, the engine does not require disassembly: we have created a technology for thermal vacuum cleaning of the engine cavities and the oxygen path from the remains of components. So we constantly explain to rocket designers that if we had a working technology for returning the first stages, they would not have to buy a rather expensive engine from us for just one flight.

                Nevertheless, the main reason for the revision of the engines was the replacement of imported (read Ukrainian) components. There is no need to deceive yourself. And whether it will be possible to make the whole rocket instead of the Ukrainians is a very controversial question.

                  what do they write about this in Ukraine?
                  Among the joint projects with the Russian Federation, it is worth noting:

                  - Sea Launch - Ukraine supplied Zenit-2SL and Zenit-2SLB launch vehicles for launch from the sea launch platform and from the Baikonur cosmodrome. For the assembly of the launch vehicle, Russian enterprises supplied 1st stage propulsion engines, the components of the 2nd stage engine, the complete control system (a large nomenclature of instruments for the control system was supplied by the Kommunar PA), construction materials for the manufacture of the launch vehicle (primarily aluminum), sensors;

                    The RD-171MV engine is a modernized version of the Russian RD-171M engine (a modification of the Soviet RD-170 engine), which differs from the prototype by a new control system, excluding the use of imported components, as well as a number of technological and design solutions worked out during the operation of the RD-180, RD-191 engines

                      All drives in the RD-171M, which were used on the Zenit rocket, will be replaced with drives used on the RD-191 engines (used on the Angara) developed by the Moscow Central Research Institute of AG.

                        The RD-171M engine was used only for Zenit missiles. Since the Zenit rocket is a Ukrainian development, they decided to put their own drives on the engine. Now we have decided to put the RD-171M on our rocket, we put our drives accordingly. If you call this "import substitution", then the Soyuz-5 is the same Zenit whose Ukrainian parts were replaced by Russian ones.

                The fact of the matter is that Russia does not have technologies for returning the first stages!
                After all, this is exactly the fact that I constantly repeat!
                It is not enough to create a motor with the possibility of multiple switching on and restarting! Let it even be super-powerful, like this liquid-propellant engine that we are discussing.
                To create a multi-use first stage, a number of requirements are required.
                1. The engine must be made compact. Look at the monstrous dimensions and weight of the Russian taxiway line! How to reconcile them with the prerequisite for hot standby in a reusable stage?
                2. It must be made single-chamber.
                3. It needs to be made cheap.
                4. And for this it must be made as simple as possible. Like Merlin.
                5. It needs to be given acceptable values ​​of throttling parameters.
                6. That is. in the end, it is necessary to move from the multi-chamber of the first stage to multi-motor. How Musk did it. To be able to control the thrust while landing.
                That's the whole recipe for solving the problem of reusability. Nothing complicated. Can we do that?
                No.
                Because we will never start doing something new.
                Because we will never get away from Glushko's blanks.
                Only endless upgrades ... modifications ...
                But by adding an extra index to the abbreviation, the functionality of the product will not radically change ...

                  I took two engines, identical in purpose and thrust. One single chamber, the other 4.

                  And what do we see?
                  By weight, the F-1 is 171 tons lighter than the RD-1,185M, but it also has less thrust (above sea level by 50 tons)
                  Dimensions that it is in height, that it is wider in width

                  And what is the superiority of single-chamber engines over 4-chamber ones?
                  About throttling.
                  The first RD-170s could operate stably with 50% throttling. For RD-171M, values ​​of 100-40% came across.

                    Everything is quite simple here.
                    1. It is impossible to mount more than one engine in the casing of the first stage of the LV because of its large size. And to create the necessary traction, you have to weigh yourself with a bunch of "sausages", and, moreover, each must be in its own body. Hence - the impossibility of providing hot backup and, as a consequence, the end of the reusability.
                    2. In a multi-engine architecture, it is possible to individually control the thrust of each specific engine, if necessary, turning off some of the rest. Which is exactly what Musk is doing. In a multi-camera scheme, this is impossible, because you can neither change the thrust of an individual camera, nor turn off some of the cameras.
                    That is why I have argued and will continue to affirm: a dynamo-jet landing is impossible on the existing line of liquid-propellant rocket engines in Russia. It is impossible to throttle a powerful rocket engine to the desired value. 40% of the nominal thrust is not enough for landing. The stage will either be thrown back up, or it will hang in the air until the engine has consumed all the fuel. Ask about the dry weight of the first stage.

                  In general, Musk simply updated his view on Korolev engines, taking into account new technologies, quality control and automation. It is strange that we ourselves did not even think to actualize these ideas. However, you should not pray for Merlins - this is still a slightly different level of production culture, production volumes and modern serial technologies aimed at reducing prices and available to US residents. Taking into account production technologies, our large engine probably has its cost advantages over the sum of small engines, which we cannot produce in such numbers and on those technological cycles that we have while maintaining a marginal benefit.
                  I am leading to the fact that it is still impossible to unambiguously assert that the multi-engine circuit is better - we can only assert that it is workable and that the very idea of ​​returning 1 stages is workable (in this way the cat uses Musk). There are probably other ways, by the way, there are already a lot of them in theory. Perhaps some of them will turn out to be more commercially viable.

                  We do not need the return of the first stages "like in the Mask". This engineering perversion is not inherently viable. Carrying extra weight of fuel for landing, having a complex landing control system, then tormenting yourself with stage diagnostics. This is all too complicated and therefore not reliable. Effective but not effective. There will always be a risk of an accident like a shuttle in due time. And if for commercial cargo this is not particularly scary, then for manned cargo it is applicable only within the framework of American civilization, where they have never really bothered with rescue systems. Our engineering school has always tried to follow the simplest and most technologically advanced path - do not forget that.

                Parachuting the engine is a very good idea, but in this case, you probably need some other systems for shooting the engine itself and some kind of detonation separation from its mounts? Also, it will probably not be a simple parachute, but some kind of system similar to those used for parachute dropping of equipment. Also, in this case, the engine itself needs to be somehow modified in terms of protection against deformations when landing on a hard surface, no matter how good the parachute is, the fall of a colossus permeated with an array of channels and weighing hundreds of kilograms without more or less adequate shock absorption is, in general, a tape measure. ..
                For all these reasons, is there some kind of infa?

                    Not everything is so simple. The thrust of the RD-171M engine above sea level is 740 tons, with a rocket weighing 460 tons (Zenit-2), and this engine is dropped together with the first stage of the rocket, no one drags it into orbit. So, a ton there, a ton here among the total weight of the rocket at the launch stage is not significant. But on the second, or even more so, on the third stage, this is already money.

                  Back in the 70s, I read in the Soviet magazine YUT the arguments about the return of the first stages of Soviet missiles, or at least engines. Maybe I don't remember everything, but it was not schoolchildren who were talking there, but respected scientists and engineers. So, the topic that now uses the MASK there was sorted out and found to be ineffective. Perhaps this is due to the technical state of the electronics in those years, but obviously everyone recognized that such a rescue scheme leads to the loss of the payload and creates a bunch of problems and complicates the design.
                  The topic of parachuting is even more destructive, since in the Soviet years the launches were from Baikonur and Plesetsk and the first steps fell in the deep taiga, so then it is not so easy to find an engine, and it is not easy to ensure a landing while maintaining the engine in difficult terrain.
                  In the modern world, all this may be simpler, but it is unlikely that this will lead to some kind of intelligible savings ...
                  Soviet space technology differs from the American one in continuity. Good or bad, it's hard to say, but it's definitely cheaper and more effective than every time in a new era to invent everything in a new way and then give up everything and redo everything again again.
                  Whatever one may say, but there is not so much sense from any rovers on Mars, but from a huge station in orbit of the Earth there are many times more and this topic is interesting to everyone and everyone is trying to develop it ..
                  And if you look closely, then in the actions of the same Mask there are more show-off and PR. And how everything he has in reality, we may never know ...

                    Well, with regard to the technologies of the 70s, a sharp leap was made in automation, in the 70s a device capable of landing a stage at the desired point and simultaneously controlling the thrust of several engines would take up decent space, taking into account redundancy or additional strength / reliability of systems. If at all it would be possible in full automatic mode. Materials science has also made significant progress, the designs of tanks and the rockets themselves have become lighter, and it has become possible to calculate what previously seemed unobvious or difficult with the help of supercomputers. This comes to a head, perhaps there are deeper and more important points. Oh yes, reliability control - the reliability and quality control systems have definitely stepped forward, I mean the miniaturization of sensors, flaw detection, etc., this is also very good. an important point that made multi-engine systems then much less reliable than now, and even more so some moments associated with repeated switching on of engines.

                    As for the system with engine paraschuting - you rightly noted about the launch path, this, of course, is a certain problem for such a solution. On the other hand, from the 70s, not just parachutes were developed, but systems used for landing equipment, much more complex and quite effective. Perhaps my information is out of date, but we were also the leaders in the development of such systems. In the 70s, there were no compact sensors, automation and the development of laser rangefinders, the same, probably necessary for the correct operation of such systems, were also at a different level than they are now. On the other hand, there are quite working options for a controlled parachute, and perhaps in conjunction with high-resolution cameras, it would be possible to achieve landing at more favorable points. At first glance, such a system would have a number of advantages over Maskovskaya, because there would be no need to leave 25% of the fuel for engine maneuvers and save the not particularly expensive shell of the first stage (relative to the price of the engine itself), and there would also be no need to maneuver the engine itself and possibly would leave the usual high-power propulsion systems.

                    Of course, everything depends on the calculations of specialists and the details - what dimensions the parachute will need to save the engine of what mass, taking into account not only the parachute itself but also the control systems for it. How difficult would it be to solve the simultaneous separation of the engine using a chain of squibs and is it technically possible in general? How much mass would the depreciation systems take and is it realistic, in principle, to make them relatively compact. And finally, what kind of gain would we have at the final price of the product with the risk factors and the cost of modernization, R&D, etc.

                      That's just, as far as I remember, it was considered optimal for those years, if you shoot the engine and land, providing a soft landing, by all possible means. There was even a talk about experiments, but in the end the topic was eventually abandoned.I do not argue that modern technologies can allow this to be done at a different level and after Musk's antics, someone might think and take care of it, but for me it’s like troubleshooting an engine operating in such an aggressive environment after landing, it is not at all cheaper than creating a new one ....

                        Here "Baikal" does not seem to me a good idea (return of the aircraft type), because there will inevitably be very significant compromises in favor of aerodynamics and centering. It would also inevitably have to increase the lateral strength of the step body in at least 2 places - the rear-front chassis and the attachment point of the folding wing (probably above the front chassis). For a heavy rocket, this scheme would suit, in my opinion, even less, for a small and insufficiently perfect medium, it probably would not have been possible to execute on non-toxic fuels, because the inevitably high parasitic mass. For medium rockets it might be suitable, but the future of this direction is doubtful (I mean commercial).
                        There were also different variations on helicopter interception, I don’t know if we have developed something similar, in the west it seems to be developing. This idea also seems dubious to me in relation to carriers higher than light, because weight and dimensions + speed, strength characteristics of the structure "by eye" cause skepticism, it will be a risky business and it seems to me that there will inevitably be a high% of loss or deformation.

                        In general, a rather interesting topic in itself, it is a pity that the scope of the publication apparently does not allow us to hope for a separate article on return technologies.

                          it is clear that in the 70-80s there was no point in saving the first stage. And even now I personally very much doubt the effectiveness of this topic. Too everything in this thread is ostentatious and tense. The Maskovites do not even wash the step, or they specially tint it so that it would look like a BU on the launch pad. Engines on the control stage look like new. That is, they defect and sort them out for any reason, and it's good if they don't put stupidly new ones ...
                          Even in aviation, so-called low-cost airlines, in order to reduce costs, use only new aircraft and only a short period of time with maximum operation, until some kind of guaranteed accident-free resource is reached. Engines of modern missiles operate at the limit of their capabilities, both constructive and power, and hardly have any transcendental work resources.
                          Here is my mind on this topic.

                      I'm not talking about that at all. Just imagine the situation: Prokhorov and his mobile and, for example, the Krasnodar Territory. This means that the authorities of this Territory suddenly came up with the idea of ​​creating a law that in this region every car seller must sell 20 percent of cars with a hybrid, electro-mechanical scheme of strictly Russian production. And this same Prokhorov (or whatever it is) right there, even before the adoption of the law, begins to build a plant. how would you react to this? And also the abolition of taxes and all that in a heap ... Then NASA declares that it will throw cargo into space 10 times cheaper than the market price, both for the owners of the cargo and for the operators of the rocket on which these cargoes need to be transported .. Definitely, part rockets go nuts and just stop working with NASA and only Musk is left alone. (which is very suspicious) and as soon as everyone is eliminated, prices are reversed to market parameters and Musk cuts the loot alone. There are many such moments in the history of Musk and NASA and other American structures. Why is this happening? Well, in a normal country, the prosecutor's office would take up the issue ...

                        Take a break from domestic American problems. The fact on the face - earlier Russia launched 90 percent of commercial launches, now - falcon. You can, of course, talk about the system of cunning subsidies of Mask Nasoi, but what does it matter to some Arabs and Indians? It's about the world market. The fact that Russia will launch its spacecraft with its own missiles, and the Americans theirs with their own (although there were times when they used Russian ones) is understandable. The question is what will be allowed by all the others. Hangara and Soyuz-5? Do you believe it? Me not.
                        Musk, by the way, invested a significant share of HIS money in the Falcon in addition to the Nasov ones and risked quite himself - if the rocket did not fly, the investments would be lost.

                          I'm even at a loss what to say. If we compare space as a whole, then outside the framework of launches (including manned ones), the comparison of NASA and Roscosmos is generally ridiculous. And the ISS is essentially American (both in terms of the size of the segments and the composition of the expeditions), and even in other positions - geolocation, meteorological satellites, deep space, telescopes, telecommunications, remote sensing systems (especially radar) - the advantage of amers is undeniable. 10 years ago it was possible to claim leadership in the field of carriage. But by the time it is now lost and there is not a single reason for the situation to change.

                          oh damn. The fact that Russia at one time seized the taxi market was primarily due to the catastrophe in the United States in this matter and not very well-working missiles from China and India, and the high cost of European missiles. Now China India Europe and finally the Americans can send cargo into space ... It's clear that in any case, these countries will withdraw their cargo themselves. and in fact recently even American satellites were withdrawn from Russia. (a disgrace even worse than Rogozinsky) Therefore, they simply took what they owned. This is not a catastrophe - this is a natural development of the situation. Moreover, before, in order to launch a satellite, it was necessary to have one rocket, sometimes a Proton. Now, even the union can put a cloud of satellites into orbit, so there is no need for such a huge number of launches. and yet, the companions began to live longer and this, too, in the same watering can ...
                          The fact that Russia is throwing few satellites into space and almost does not work in deep space has been going on since the days of the USSR. They flew to the moon 40 years ago. All that was needed was received back then. There was no point in spending the money, and therefore the USSR stopped sending aggregates there. It is the Chinese and Hindus who have never flown there, and therefore letting themselves play if there is a lot of money. They will learn nothing new, except what Soviet scientists learned during the Soviet era. Luna is too conservative.

NASA, however, had a full bottom with the withdrawal of cargo and the whole world had to collect for the Musk something that could fly. Well done. But even what they did is not a breakthrough. They simply repeated the Soviet cosmonautics, with slightly new modern technological capabilities.
                          Angara was invented to make one universal rocket for all occasions, changing its configuration based on needs. But unfortunately, the story did not start to develop according to plan. And so the idea was gorgeous, by the way, the same Musk took this idea into service.

                          it may have been a shame, but look at the composition of the ISS - which modules are Russian, which are American, how many Russians are in the crew, and how many are Americans. Here, like in football - the shame is forgotten, but the score remains on the scoreboard and in the standings.

                          unfortunately we have to admit that the participation of the Russian Federation in the ISS project is a shame and betrayal. not even mentioning that this is a loss of technology and a drain on the Americans. Sadly, it was such a difficult time.
                          However, these technologies, oddly enough, develop and continue to live, and now everyone is trying to build their own stations on the basis of the Soviet experience. Surprisingly, no one is trying to build stations using their technologies as an example, and no one lets people into space using American technologies either. Even Musk is forced to follow the Queen's path. Is this not a demonstration of the power of Soviet space technologies and a demonstration that everything that the Americans do not come up with turns out to be either fake or insanely expensive and not at all effective.

                          Yes, no one underestimates Soviet achievements in space. Only from the Soviet chain of the union-zenith-proton-energy (as the load increases), in fact, only the most ancient (albeit many times modernized) Union survived. And everything else for today blah-blah-blah - great plans - we will improve, set up, launch, master, start operation A little later, not now. The cherry on the cake is RN Rokot, which, left without Ukrainian (again Ukrainian!) Components, will not fly until the second half of 2022. But there are these Ukrainian components there - right off the bat, in fact it is the UR-100 (the creation of which was done faster in due time than now this completely minor revision.)

                          you still do not understand nichrome. The Soviet and American space programs are very different in concept, even. It is clear that with unlimited funding, it was easier for the Americans to create different, often insane and completely useless projects. The USSR had just a plan, and as it turned out, the most adequate. And it still works, with some adjustments, though. But, the creation of a near-earth habitable station is really cooler than many American projects. In any case, no matter how cool the flights of the Mars rovers looked, the moment they were of no use. The same Soviet Lunokhod turned out to be more useful. I do not disparage the Americans at all. With their own opinion, they can do whatever they want and have the right to both luck and failure. But it is clearly obvious that NASA does not have a clear-cut concept and they all the time rush in different directions and saw the loot. Its blessing is full.
                          Moreover, the Soviet and Russian space programs are too classified, even now, and we simply do not see much of what is being done. Maybe this is stupid, but for example, at the time of the start of the space race, the fact that the Americans did not know how weightlessness affects people, they very much compromised themselves, showing vigorous lunar astronauts, and at this time the Soviet ones after a week's flight, not only could not walk, they had the authorities refused ...

        2. Superiority in vacuum thrust by 2,5% in comparison with the same 1 F-1959, alas, is leveled by a much greater weight. 10,3 tons versus 8,4 tons. you can immediately forget about decent weight perfection. Both the engine itself and the entire RN.
        3. As well as immediately forget about reusability, because it is not compatible with multi-chamber in principle. And it is impossible even theoretically to keep within the 13% throttling parameter on the RD171MV.
        4. The question of the price of the engine remains open. Okay, Mask. The already cheap price of Merlin is spread over a huge number of launches, and even reusable ones. Where to get so many of these for the fifth Union? If he is not even included in the STK project on the recommendations of fellow scientists and associate professors with candidates?

          Somehow you lead aside with your awareness.

          The engine is not an ordinary kerosene stove, but an oxygen kerosene stove. He and his "brothers" 180, 181/191 are structurally rather complex products with no less complicated manufacturing technology.
          In principle, one should be pleasantly glad that the hypostasis of "MV" was quickly designed and manufactured partly from the existing backlog of DSE, partly from newly manufactured ones.
          It is absolutely incorrect to compare the engine with all sorts of merlin-geldings and, moreover, with the F-1, because this is not a mule, a mule and a donkey, but products that are deeply specialized for specific tasks.
          And thanks to Glushko and Radovsky, who created an engine that can be successfully used 40 after its birth ..
          As for the price, now it is prohibitively high and will still increase in the process of development at serial plants. But a large series (and the question is put that way) will bring down the price. And if the commercial use of the Irtysh succeeds, then the price will be recouped.
          In addition, China has a huge interest in the engine, which in the long term puts its production in favorable economic conditions.

            Can't you voice the main directions of this "major series"? At least in general terms? How many PNs can the Russian Federation gain by pushing hard? At least a couple of dozen launches per year for Soyuz-5? Or for at least a dozen launches for the Angara?
            And then I'm just lost in conjecture.
            Or maybe we can take back a piece of the international market from Musk? Shall we wipe his F-9 nose? Will we take all foreign orders?

What is the difference between the "fundamentally new main engine" and the modified old man RD-171 need to be explained?

                3. Are we going to compare the masses of the fairing flaps and the heavy engine? Are we going to compare the areas of parachutes? Are we going deeper into the jungle of history? And let us ask ourselves, why have they not returned the steps so far in the USSR and the Russian Federation? Or will we understand right away that it became clear even to the Energy developers how absurd this idea is, although its technical aspects were already being worked out then? For it is highly likely that after such a "landing" from the product in a gust of wind, only a pile of scrap metal will remain, even if it falls on a perfectly flat area, and not on a stump or stone.

                  ... "Mr. Musk, not being a technical specialist, does not take into account that the RD-180 engine for the Atlas launch vehicle uses a completely different fuel scheme -" oxygen-kerosene ", and these are different engine parameters. gasoline internal combustion engine. And if you take into account that Energomash certified the engine with a 10% margin, then the pressure in the RD-180 combustion chamber is above 280 atmospheres, "Roscosmos reports with reference to the chief designer of the enterprise, Pyotr Lyovochkin.

                  For his part, Lyovochkin explained that SpaceX is creating a Raptor engine using oxygen and methane components, or, as is customary in the Russian classification, a gas-gas scheme.
                  "In such schemes, such a pressure level in the combustion chamber is not something outstanding - in our designs for these schemes, we set the pressure level in the chamber to be more than 300 atmospheres. And the parameter pressure in the chamber itself is not an output characteristic of the engine, such as thrust and specific impulse, "he said.
                  At the same time, Energomash welcomes the achievements of their American colleagues in engine building.
                  "Despite the fact that our companies are competitors, we, as engineers, welcome the first successes of colleagues from SpaсeX in the field of rocket propulsion. Indeed, when developing the Raptor engine, American engineers reached a record level for themselves in chamber pressure. the level of development and production processes at SpaceX, "he said ...."

                  In August 2020, Musk issued a pressure in the combustion chamber of 330 bar on the Raptor. But the engines do not work for a long time in this mode, they explode. He has no information about this now.

Thus, it will take about three years to finalize the original engine with insignificant financial and human costs.

      Petr Lyovochkin, - we have implemented all the experience that we gained during the creation of the RD-180 and RD-191, and also moved on. This includes increased protection against fire, new filters, coatings, the most modern materials and technologies for their processing, a new control system, a faster-acting emergency protection system ... After a flight or firing tests at the stand, the engine does not need to be disassembled ... we constantly explain to rocket designers that if we had a working technology for the return of the first stages, they would not have to buy a rather expensive engine from us for just one flight.

      The engine builders have made a reusable propulsion system - but they will continue to break it in disposable stages - maybe it's time to do something with the rocket designers?
