"The first in 10 years": From Cape Canaveral in the United States planned to launch a Falcon 9 rocket with a Ukrainian satellite

83

Ukrainian officials are looking forward to tonight. And it's not about celebrating the New Year in the old style. It turns out that the attention of the official Kiev today will be focused on the first launch of a Ukrainian satellite in 10 years.

Ukrainian media reports say that it is about the Sich-2-30 spacecraft, which will be launched into low-earth orbit using the spacecraft of the American company SpaceX. This is a Falcon 9 rocket, which is to be launched from the cosmodrome at Cape Canaveral at 18:25 Moscow time. It will be morning in Florida.



The rocket from the Elon Musk company is at the SLC-40 launch pad. At the same time, the technical staff of the cosmodrome and the SpaceX company itself must take into account the parameters of the so-called launch window - this is about 29 minutes. Simultaneously with the Ukrainian spacecraft, it is planned to launch several small Transporter-3 satellites into orbit.

The Ukrainian press widely announces the first launch of a Ukrainian satellite in 10 years, which causes irony both among ordinary Ukrainians and among politicians and other famous people.

This is how Anatoly Shariy reacted to the announcements of "thorough preparation" for the start on Twitter:

The first Ukrainian satellite is being launched. News... The President will probably speak. “We will follow the launch with a sinking heart” ... As if it were not 65 years old.

Anatoly Shariy accompanied his post with a Soviet poster depicting the first artificial Earth satellite launched in the USSR back in 1957.

The Ukrainian Goskosmos paid about $ 2 million to the American company for the launch of the Sich-30-2 satellite. The satellite itself was built in Dnepr (post-Maidan version of the name of Dnepropetrovsk) as part of the Ukrainian space program. It is planned that the satellite will carry out sounding of the Earth's surface. As they joke in Ukraine itself, "it will look for traces of the Russian army."

          Launched!
          Eh, but the country could build its own launch vehicles. But Yuzhmazh is on its way, but it is impossible in Baikonur. And on this land Sergei Pavlovich Korolev was born and studied ...

          Launch video. The launch vehicle worked normally, the first stage returned as usual. Nothing out of the ordinary here. Already 136 launch of Falcon 9 (if suddenly anyone is interested - the last time the launch vehicle lost its payload in 2016 due to a fire, and directly at launch - in 2015).

    Many countries aspire to space. Ukraine has the scientific potential for this. KB "Yuzhnoye" has not disappeared anywhere. They will invest money, then there will be personnel, there are enough engineering talents there. If they want to develop at the proper level, then everything will work out.

      Rumors about the deterioration of the financial situation of the KBY did not arise out of nowhere. They do not hide the real state of affairs at the enterprise.

      "The situation at the enterprise is difficult. This is an objective fact. Since the beginning of the quarantine last year, the enterprise has been idle for the second time, which it is formally still in. Only the staff, the staff that ensures the urgent execution of contract work, has been withdrawn to work. we are now in full swing, or else it ensures the functioning of a vital infrastructure that cannot be left. Out of 4444 employees, about 2 thousand people are currently employed in the work. The rest are in idle mode. They are paid two-thirds of their salary, " Maxim Degtyarev."

So sitting on 2/3 of the salary at home, of which 80% of housing and communal services is not staff savings, it is easier for them in the Russian Federation or China to rush with their families.

                    You are very mistaken, although it is not for me to convince you. You have every right to consider Ukraine a completely "banana" republic. Where do they get the production capacity and technology. Although if you only check the city of Kharkov for factory potential, I’m not talking about Dnepropetrovsk, then your opinion may change. You are wishful thinking. Ukraine is far from being as weak as you inspire yourself.

                      And I don't need to be persuaded. I have a brother in Kiev, an uncle in Donetsk, a niece in Nizhyn. And they have a sea of ​​​​acquaintances throughout Ukraine, so I have an idea in many cities and they are completely disappointing from the word. I will contact everyone and get information about Dnepropetrovsk and Kharkov, but I don’t think that the information will be as rosy as you describe. A simple hard worker, strangled by the price tag for housing and communal services, food, lack of medicine (yes, a lot of things) cannot work like a Stakhanovite and at the same time enjoy life. This is the law of existence, either rebellion, or "my hut is on the edge" and at the same time pretend that you are working. If in Kiev, already at 6 tsi, gas boilers and potbelly stoves are installed (infa from a brother, the boiler itself was installed, and then because he earns decently by their standards, like his wife), then what is happening on the periphery? So do not convince me of your point of view, for me it is completely wrong from the word.

                        The USSR on potbelly stoves could give a kick to the whole world at one time and sent the first person into space. Therefore, you somehow strangely assess the possibilities of the country. There are few places in the world where people live well.

                        The USSR had a strong ideology, so your example is incorrect. The same Stakhanovites raised the country, rushing to work, because they believed that they would begin to live better. And they became, not as fast as we would like, but they became. Industry, agriculture, etc. were raised by the Second World War. What is the ideology in Ukraine? Who is there to believe - gunpowder, green, nationalists from the national battalions? There, tear it apart on all fronts, and the mattresses, together with the EU, will rip off the remnants of what is left, one motor with a Chinese scammer is worth something.

If you have studied the history of the "industrialization of the USSR", then you know that most of the large enterprises were built for us in France, Germany, England and the USA.

Foreign organizations and citizens can freely buy anything, with the exception of territories adjacent to military facilities or ZATOs, and then with the proviso that then they need to obtain permission: .4 of the Land Code of the Russian Federation).

                        I think this is very correct. Their economy will benefit from this. Foreign companies will not buy land in order to poison it or to stand idle. They will buy it to work on it. Naturally, at the expense of local personnel, because to bring workers there, well, this is just nonsense. Some key shots are possible at first, but then everything will be done by locals, like McDonald's is the same. Therefore, this is the correct decision.

    The main purpose of the satellite is to obtain digital photographs of the Earth's surface in the visible and near infrared ranges, as well as to monitor the parameters of the planet's ionosphere. The satellite has a 10 GB data storage device with a data transfer rate of 30,72 Mbps.
    “This satellite will allow us to receive images of the Earth from space in the visible range. The satellite is planned to be launched into orbit at an altitude of 500 km above the Earth. We will receive information 46 kilometers wide. And this will be such a strip on which images of both forests, fields, rivers, engineering structures, and accumulations of some kind of equipment will be obtained, which can be used for different purposes. The resolution is 7 meters.

      It seems to me that there are not only environmentalists, but also the industries of competitors. 31 Falcon 9 launches last year, hardly everyone likes it. And then there is the carrier, which in the future can simply turn over all approaches to the creation of launch vehicles and spacecraft. And, as it were, the project is now participating in Artemis. Blue Origin, of course, tried to challenge the results of the competition in court - it was not possible.

      no, in the photo in the screensaver Falcon 9, although it really looks like.
      the situation with the squeezing of the company from Polyakov is passing

      The word spin is not entirely correct. The situation has long been going to this, and he sold part of the shares long ago. For the growth of the company's capitalization, it was profitable to receive military and government orders, and for this it is necessary to meet certain requirements.
      In November of 2020, Polyakov stepped down from Firefly's board and then in May of 2021, he sold off a large chunk of his stake in Firefly, as the company raised $ 75 million and obtained a valuation of more than $ 1 billion. These moves, along with the appointment of former government officials to Firefly's board, were meant to open the way for more government contracts. Polyakov pulled back from the company and has said he was leaving all of the business and technology decisions to Firefly Chief Executive Officer Tom Markusic, who previously worked at NASA and Elon Musk's Space Exploration Technologies Corp.
      In November 2020, Polyakov resigned from the Firefly board of directors, and then sold most of his stake in Firefly in May 2021, as the company raised $ 75 million and received a valuation of over $ 1 billion. These moves, along with the appointment of former government officials to the Firefly board, should have opened the way for more government contracts. Polyakov refused to participate in the company and said that he was transferring all business and technological decisions to the Chief Executive Officer of Firefly Tom Markusik, who previously worked at NASA and Space Exploration Technologies Corp. Ilona Musk.

      But, in general, traditionally, the Americans in the first quarter of all, even the Chinese, are torn by the number of launches.


      In Russia, launches have been starting in February for many years. The first "civilian" launch this year is scheduled exactly for February 10 from the GCC to Kura with the next Vanveba cluster, and five days later - a truck to the ISS from Baikonur - specialists have already begun to prepare it.

      For 2022, an average of 6 launches per quarter is planned. Well, traditionally a larger number will be in the fourth quarter. In total, about 30 ILV launches, not counting ICBMs.

    Simultaneously with the Ukrainian spacecraft, it is planned to launch several small Transporter-3 satellites into orbit.

    Just write that not measured micro-satellites were thrown into orbit, among which the Ukrainian "hare" was slipped.
