Interfax source: US denied visa to Russian cosmonaut

95

For the first time in recent years, Russian-American cooperation in space exploration has faced the fact that the United States did not grant a visa to a Russian cosmonaut. We are talking about the refusal that Nikolai Chub heard in his address.

The Russian cosmonaut, by prior arrangement with NASA, was to go to the US Space Center (the L. Johnson Center) for training. This was reported by the news agency Interfax. According to the agency, Nikolai Chub could not go to the United States, as he was unexpectedly denied a visa.

According to the statement Interfax, citing a source familiar with the situation, did not give any specific reasons for refusing to issue an entry visa to the United States.

As a result, training events with the participation of the Russian cosmonaut at the moment turned out to be a big question.

It is known that Nikolai Chub should go into space in the first half of 2023. This flight will be his first.

If the situation with the visa is not connected with some technical problems or bureaucratic delays, then the trend looks alarming. In this case, the United States, apparently, is ready to go to confrontation in matters of space exploration. If so, then this could be a blow to space exploration, for which, in fact, there are no borders. But today these borders are artificially created by "partners" across the ocean.

Roskosmos does not comment on the situation at the moment.

    I think we need to treat this fact symmetrically - do not let the Merikatos convts laughing , and which ones are currently, expel.
    P.S. at the same time think about further deliveries of RD-180.

        Based on this information -
        RIA News. Roskosmos is ready to continue deliveries of RD-180 rocket engines to the USA, said the head of the state corporation Dmitry Rogozin.
        “They have a solid stock of our RD-180 engines to ensure launches of their missiles, including those under the Boeing manned program. If they suddenly decide to buy more, let them contact us, we will be happy to cooperate,” he wrote on Facebook.

            And the plant, meanwhile, ignoring the hamsters with their "headache", is fully expanding the mass production of RD-191 engines for the Angara rocket and is preparing production for the new RD-191M, for its modernized version - a contract has been concluded for five of these motors for LKI launch vehicle "Angara-A5M". The production of RD-171MV engines for the Soyuz-5 rocket is also underway.

              Well, we rejoice at the success of Roskosmos.
              But the question haunts: why was it urgently necessary to switch from the basic A5 version (which, by the way, has not even left the LCI yet) to the A5M modification?
              And why was the RD-191M urgently needed?

                Hello, garage. The basic version is sharpened today under Plesetsk. And will fly from there. An upgraded version is required for Vostochny, as there will be manned launches with engine throttling and launches with much larger mass hydrogen stages. In the future, it is planned to bring Plesetsk to the level of the East.

                  Yes. Garage answers.
                  The upgraded version was discussed only because the RF Ministry of Defense, after the first launch of the basic version, flatly refused it.
                  Back in March 2018, Rogozin, following a visit to the Omsk production facility Polet, expressed himself very clearly: it is necessary to begin work on the modernization of the Angara-A5, the rocket must be lightened and its thrust-weight ratio increased. Since the basic version (the same A5 that "flies successfully") does not meet the originally laid down technical requirements and needs to be improved.
                  Deputy Prime Minister Borisov in September 2019 spoke even more categorically: "the missile does not meet the requirements that the main customer places on it."
                  Let me remind you that this happened after the launch of the A5 in 2014, which was declared successful by our media. Those. so "successful" that it urgently needed to redo the car? That is what the Department of Defense insisted on.
                  Those. the carrier has not yet come out of the test, but no one needs it anymore? First of all, the RF Ministry of Defense, the main customer? Funny situation.
                  And what other manned launches are there from Vostochny? What, you don’t even know that the SC project for a manned launch on Vostochny is already fucked up? Isn't there a word about this in the manuals?

                    Lies. The Russian Defense Ministry has placed a large order for a basic version launched from Plesetsk. This year, several Angara rockets will be launched with their payload.

                    Certainly. The manned version of the heavy rocket and its hydrogen stages require more power from the first stage engines, which is why they are boosted by 10%, and they also have the ability to lower this power to launch astronauts. The first rocket that will fly with Orel will be basic, but with RD-191M engines.

                    Lies. It was about the very first experimental heavy machine launched in 2014. The cars that took off the year before last and last year meet the requirements of the RF Ministry of Defense, which signed a contract for them.

                      1. "Large order" is desirable to express in numbers. The arithmetic is all right, I hope? A large order was for 10 products as part of the LCI at the request of Nesterov. Then this number was urgently reduced to 6. Then it was further reduced. Why? Yes, for the same reason - no basic version of MO is needed.
                      2. I will speak about the reasons for the afterburner below.
                      3. Compliant??? Isn't it for this reason that on October 23, 2019, the general designer of the Salyut Design Bureau of the Center. M. V. Khrunichev Sergey Kuznetsov told the media that the Angara-A5M, which will replace does not meet the requirements of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation "Angara-A5" will be launched for the first time at the end of 2024 from the Vostochny cosmodrome?
                      4. Don't mention hydrogen. Or learn materiel. Then you will understand that the development of hydrogen technologies for use in the Angara-A5V is only at the stage of design studies, since it is not included in the Federal Target Program for the Development of Russian Spaceports until 2025. Soviet hydrogen developments are completely lost. The former general director of the Salyut design bureau, Yuri Bakhvalov, says directly that the experience of creating and operating hydrogen engines in Russia was lost by the mid-90s.
                      5. This year - already??? Did they take place? From PN? Enlighten, be kind, when??????
                      6. I summarize.
                      Nobody is embarrassed by the fact that the Angara rocket, touted in the Russian media, which is still at the LCI, which has not yet reached the stage of industrial production and has not yet gone into series, already needs to be redone?
                      Why do we need RD-191M instead of RD-191? Those. in fact, why do we need the Angara-A5M launch vehicle instead of the A5? Why does the A5 launch vehicle, which is still on the LCI, already need to be changed?
                      You can, of course, fool the layman with tales that in the abbreviation A5M we will replace the letter "M" with "P" and we will get a manned carrier in a deformed version. Those. first we increase the thrust, then we reduce it, a kind of know-how in Russian. For the safety of astronauts, clear pepper.
                      But the chest opens simply and unexpectedly. The fact is that the vaunted A5 did not suit the Russian Ministry of Defense in terms of performance characteristics. And the Ministry clearly expressed its displeasure about this back in 2014 with the test launch of the A5 (however, information about this was leaked only in 2019).
                      Why?
                      Yes, because the Angara was already inferior to the Proton at the design stage. Because 6 RD-275M engines produced a total total thrust greater than 5 RD-191 engines. Hence - a decrease in the PN during the launch to the GSO by the Angara.
                      What was to be done?
                      We went two ways. Tried to upgrade the overclocker. This attempt, as we now know, ended in failure, the RB "Persey" did not pass the exam, it was put on the back burner, then the A5 will pass the LKI with the RB "Breeze-M".
                      And there was an idea to upgrade the RD-191 to the RD-191M version in order to increase thrust by at least 10%. How and when this story will end is unknown. It is clear that not in 2022 and hardly in 2023. The fact is that Proton-PM, although it is part of NPO Energomash, is not Khimki. This is Perm. And there is no end of work.
                      Project manager Igor Timshin gave comprehensive information on this matter. According to him, “To master the production of RD-191M, it will be necessary to produce more than 1,2 thousand new technical processes and 3,5 thousand tooling designs. In addition, six existing test benches will be modernized by 2022, and five more are to be designed and manufactured. assembly of the RD-191M engine is planned to be organized in the first quarter of 2022. It will be located at a suburban production site in the new building 82." So in the best case, at the end of 2022, only OIs in the history of the RD-191M shine. And then everything is generally still unknown.
                      Now I will summarize again. Why do we need RD-191M?
                      And then, to eliminate the shortcomings, blunders and comments identified by the results of the operation of the RD-191. At the expense of taxpayers, of course, as usual.
                      This is just an attempt to squeeze out at least a little extra mass of the PN by boosting the RD-191 thrust. And nothing more. This is a continuation of the same good Soviet line of Glushko / Radovsky rocket engines.
                      It can be said even more simply: with the RD-191, no one needs the fifth Angara at all. First of all, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Again, why? After all, following the results of the 2nd launch, they cheerfully reported that "an analysis of the remaining fuel reserve confirms the possibility of launching 2,5 tons to the GSO"? Yes, because the military is no longer satisfied with 2,5 tons on the GSO, it’s not enough, they need 5-6 tons. That’s why, of course, they drive to LKI A5 to find out the shortcomings, and then into the furnace. A5M with RD-191M will be on the agenda. As for the "B" index, then the prospects are generally in the fog. With hydrogen, the Republic of Kazakhstan is doing very poorly. By the way, this also applies to the KVTK.
                      By the way, slipped. In the next oaz I will answer only after I see at least a couple of thoughts not from the training manual. You really try. I also have a win-win option.
                      Remind me a template?

                        "Angara-A5M" is a further planned development of the "Angara" series missiles associated with the unification of stages. The refueling mock-up tanks and the first-launch rockets have already been assembled at the plant, and firing bench tests of three finishing motors are awaiting. The Russian Defense Ministry is not going to launch its payload from the Vostochny Cosmodrome.

                        Creation and operation in that period, but not development. In addition, this did not prevent Russia from supplying several 12KRBs to India in the XNUMXs. And now everything is changing at a rapid pace - new hydrogen engines are already being burned.

    Nothing wrong. We must now wait for them to gather on the ISS and take off. But, on the way to the station, they will have to inform them that even though the station is international, they don’t have a visa to enter the docking compartment, which they were also denied)) and block everything - let them go back and think what went wrong, maybe what film will be made.
