China abandons Long March 9 expendable super-heavy launch vehicle project

According to SpaceNews, China has decided to abandon the ambitious project to create a disposable super-heavy launch vehicle Long March 9.

However, this does not mean at all that China is retreating in space exploration, on the contrary, they want to replace this rocket with a reusable carrier.

This information is based on the fact that SpaceNews drew attention to the Long March 9 rocket exhibited at the Airshow China 2022 international air show in the Chinese city of Zhuhai. On this rocket, lattice rudders were seen on the central block, similar to those that have reusable American carriers SpaceX Falcon 9.

For the first time, information about the Long March 9 rocket was presented at the International Aerospace Congress in 2013. This rocket was supposed to be superior to its American counterparts - "Saturn 5" and SLS. Then it was reported that this super-heavy rocket would be able to launch more than 180 tons of payload into low-Earth orbit.

According to the publication, the new version of the Long March 9 is a three-stage rocket with a height of 108 meters and a diameter of about 10 meters. The rocket has a mass of about 4200 tons and will be able to launch 150 tons of payload into low Earth orbit.

A new version of the Long March 9 is expected to fly into space in 2030.

150 tons of payload, Where are you Musk?

[Infinity]

Military Review as usual ... The Chinese do not abandon the "Changzheng-9" (English Long March 9, Russian "Long March-9"), they change its concept. Now this launch vehicle is being created according to Elon Musk's Starship/Super Heavy concept from SpaceX. Take a closer look at the layout of the "Changzheng-9", outwardly very similar to Starship / Super Heavy. Previously, it really resembled the Space Launch System developed by Boeing. Central block + adjustable number of side accelerators.
Models of Chinese launch vehicles at Airshow China. The largest layout is the Long March-9, on the left is the Long March-5G (by the way, it looks very much like a Falcon Heavy, oh those Chinese ).

from the concept of Musk there is only the first step. There is no starship, as such. I think this is correct. Too many hemorrhoids with the rescue of the second stage.

SpaceX Starship in LEO will lift up to 150 tons reusable and up to 250 tons expendable. First test flight from month to month.

To be honest, I like Maskovsky's "shaitan", in childhood there was such a miracle in the book. Czech edition ..

A new version of the Long March 9 is expected to fly into space in 2030.

But what, the year 2030 has already come and this rocket has brought out 150 tons of load?

[Ulan.1812]

They will do something, and we? And we will be jealous.

We would need the Sarmatians at this stage more.

Quote: Ulan.1812

They will do something, and we? And we will be jealous.

We will not. We have already successfully passed fire bench tests, both methane 80 tons RD-182, and oxygen-kerosene 802 tons RD-171MV.

In addition, methane RD-0177, the future 100 ton RD-0169, is being tested at KBKhA.

In addition, this month the scientific and technical council of Roscosmos will consider the submission of the Draft Design for the Amur-LNG launch vehicle, for which TsNIIMash issued a positive decision.

Therefore, we have a choice - to make an oxygen-kerosene superheavy, on previously proven solutions, as previously assumed, or to make a completely rocket on LNG. If you accept the second option, then you will need to work out a reusable stage. For example, on the same Amur-LNG launch vehicle.

Meanwhile, more than 1580 tank shells of the new Soyuz-20 launch vehicle, both bench and for the first flight rocket, were welded by the "friction with stirring" method, from alloy 5, on new domestic machines at the Progress RCC.

In the photo, the rocket tank is welded by argon-arc welding for the stand.

Yes, we didn't really die. Now the task is to regain all the technologies of the USSR in terms of creating new launch vehicles with increased payload. The creation of the Soyuz-5 launch vehicle is a somewhat forced, but justified solution for testing production for new, already reusable systems.

[tralflot1832]

It’s a pity that you were the only such specialist on the site. It seems that you had a partner with whom you had dialogues about affairs in civil rocket science in Russia.

Wonderful. But what does this have to do with the hypothetical domestic SUPER-HEAVY? The Yenisei / Don project, as you know, was postponed indefinitely, but in fact "buried". If the unfortunate Luna-25 was again postponed to 2023 (it was supposed to fly in October), then what kind of superheavy by 2030 can we talk about now? Forget about 12-15 years. God forbid that the A-5V Angara (PN up to 40 tons) be done - this is all that can be planned for this period.

Therefore, we have a choice - to make an oxygen-kerosene superheavy .. or to make ..

Once again - methane is needed only at a reusable stage. On disposables, it is better and most importantly cheaper to use naphthyl.

[Vyacheslav Ermolaev]

So what? There is no decision even in the future about the construction of a superheavy. And even if it was, it doesn't mean anything. It seems that in 2018 academicians studied the possibility of restoring the production of Energia. Refused. We figured it would be cheaper to make from scratch. They announced that we would make the "Yenisei", After a while it was announced that the "Yenisei" was not enough. The Don will also be built on the basis of the Yenisei. And then the academics decided that all these superheavyweights were completely unnecessary. When flying to the Moon, we will manage with three launches of a heavy Angara. True, a hydrogen engine should be built for it, which has been stuck at the preliminary design stage for many years. You can not remind about the nuclear tug. He has been flying for several years now. The maximum that Russia can do is to cling to China, which has made a stunning breakthrough in 20 years.

[Nickelium]

The current States are a parody of those States that mastered the lunar program. The absence of competition does not benefit anyone, giving rise to complacency and degradation. Now there are miserable attempts to inflate the States and China with helium, but both, for various reasons, do not pull. In 1991, we lost not only the Union, but also the further progress of humanity, sliding into sandbox games.

[Vyacheslav Ermolaev]

Are you serious about China? Turn around. You are probably surrounded by a lot of things from China. In 2014, after twenty years of torment, Russia launched Angara-5, China launched its analogue of Angara Change-5 in 2016 and has already made 9 launches and all with a payload. Angara-5 was launched 3 times and only once with a payload.

Well, firstly, it was a very long time ago and Xi Jinping is clearly not from the early Middle Ages, and secondly, who told you that it was the Chinese who invented this? Previously, white people lived on the territory of China - Tochars and Dinlin. Their burials are now found in China. Maybe they invented it, and the Chinese appropriated their achievements? Well, a nation cannot become dumb and not invent anything for almost 2 thousand years. Here, either the Chinese are not capable of creativity, or the inventions are not theirs.
By the way, the rocket was invented in India. There, too, there was an invasion of northern barbarians. They were called Arias.

1) Long-term habitable station of the three modules were mounted in a short time by the standards of the industry.

China is learning from the mistakes of others. All three station modules were prefabricated.

Let me remind you that during the decommissioning of the base unit of the Mir station, the 17K BB module and the 37KE Kvant retrofit module were decommissioned. The rest of the retrofit modules for the MIR station from TsIKh at that time were simply not ready. The same applies to the ISS - the 77KM module (FGB Zarya) and the 17KSM module (SM Zvezda) were launched in a fairly short time - the difference of two years is due to insufficient funding from the Yeltsin administration. only as they are created, but due to delays from partner countries, including those associated with the shuttle crash, as well as financial problems at manufacturing enterprises.

Quote: MBRBS

2) moonwalker walks on the moon.

Their first Lunokhod "Hare" traveled 100 meters and stopped breaking down, the second - a kilometer. During all this time. The pictures sent are beautiful. Conducted studies of the lunar soil. We conducted an experiment with living organisms in microgravity.

In the USSR, Lunokhods explored an area ten times larger on the Moon, more than 46 km were covered by telecontrol - medical and biological data from the team of drivers were also comprehensively studied. During the movement of vehicles on the surface of the Moon, studies of the physicochemical and magnetic properties of the lunar soil were carried out. A large number of television photographs and photo panoramas, including those with high resolution (6000 lines for vertical ones), were obtained. All received data are stored in IKI RAS.

Quote: MBRBS

3) one and a half kilos lunar soil delivered to Earth.

The mass delivered does not matter much. Variety matters. But the Chinese discovered in the brought soil, in their words, a new element.

In the USSR, AMS Luna 16,20,24 delivered various lunar soil from three different places on the Moon, including from a depth of 160 cm - while the fence itself was about two meters, as it were held at an angle. Lunar soil has been studied for 40 years and is stored at the Institute of Geochemistry of the Russian Academy of Sciences. During this time, unique data on the composition have been obtained. Russian scientists continue to study it - the latest publications in scientific journals were recently.

Quote: MBRBS

4) rover walks on Mars.

This is truly an achievement. The USSR was engaged in Mars in the 60-70s, unfortunately, the imperfection of space technology of that period did not allow to carry out everything that was planned. The Phobos stations in the 80s and the already almost Russian Mars-96 fell victim rather to negligence. But the problem with AMC "Phobos-Grunt" is the result of underfunding of the XNUMXs.

At the same time, the USSR did a great job with Venus.

Today, Russia has been scanning Mars from orbit under the ExoMars atmospheric research program for the past five years.

Quote: MBRBS

5) Your analogue of GPS - "Beidou" - works. Satellite constellation in general more than ours, about one and a half times.

Russia has GLONASS that works globally It was fully deployed in the late 80s, then re-deployed in the XNUMXs. Moreover, the accuracy is higher than that of Beidou, which is regional and has only recently been declared global. The number of satellites in the space segment is leveled by ground-based signal correction stations, of which Russia simply has more and new ones appear.

Quote: MBRBS

6) optical orbiting telescope finish, in a year they will launch.

The achievements of the USSR in the field of astrophysical observatories are quite interesting. For example, the telescope "Glazar" would be installed on the "Kvant" module of the Mir station, and the autonomous space telescopes "Granat" and "Gamma" were also launched into space.

As for modern Russia, for a long time now we have been using data from both joint astrophysical observatories, such as Integral, and our Spektr program. Under this program, an interferometer with an ultra-long baseline of hundreds of thousands of kilometers was launched into space by the Spektr-R spacecraft (Radioastron) and the Spektr-RG spacecraft (X-ray Gamma) to the Lagrange point L2. Next in line are the Spektr-UV and Spektr-M telescopes. In addition, telescopes for astronomical observation are expected to be installed on the ISS RS in the near future.

Quote: MBRBS

7) the subject of this article -- superheavy, is designed and financed, unlike ours. The production of structural elements is being worked out.

Wrong. Our STK "Yenisei" has already been designed. The first stage of the Soyuz-5 rocket is its module. The Soyuz-5 launch vehicle is in production and is undergoing bench tests. Today, the project is being revised to switch to methane technologies and reusability.

Quote: MBRBS

8) Cosmodromes -- 4 things.
and the number of launches, which is constantly growing, unlike some, also says something.

Russia today has two operating cosmodromes on its territory - Plesetsk and Vostochny - both are being developed, two cosmodromes - Sea Launch, the Yasny launch base are not used, they are temporarily mothballed. One cosmodrome on foreign territory - Baikonur.

The number of launches depends on the amount of ready payload. In addition, Russia is under sanctions pressure, which does not prevent an average of more than 20 launches per year.

Quote: MBRBS

I hope it's enough to understand that the Chinese will be on the moon before us.

Wrong. Russia and China have concluded a preliminary agreement at the level of space agencies on the creation of a joint lunar scientific base. The issue of an interstate agreement is being worked out. At the same time, both countries are considered in this project as equal partners.

And this, in turn, speaks of the integration of domestic lunar programs. For example, our orbital lunar station "Luna-26" in the near future will interact with the Chinese landing station "Change-7" under one program.

[MBRSS]

All three station modules were prefabricated.

They laughed, however. ALL devices are made in advance. Another matter, with what speed. Corps "Science" byd ready in the last century, for example.

Their first Lunokhod "Hare" traveled 100 meters

I didn't write about the first one.

In the USSR, Lunokhods explored an area ten times larger on the Moon,

AMS Luna 16,20,24 delivered various lunar soil to the USSR

The achievements of the USSR in the field of astrophysical observatories are quite interesting.

The USSR landed probes on Venus. You can also recall the BTA-6, once the largest telescope in the world, even if it was ground-based. Or about the Yuri Gagarin ship, and so on and so forth. But we are talking about the current Russian Federation. And its prospects for space exploration, under the current government. After the accident with Phobos-Grunt (or rather, when it turned out that, contrary to tradition, there was no backup apparatus), when the program was screwed up, along with the work of scientists and engineers, I had all the illusions about the interest of the authorities in scientific space, completely evaporated. Sorry, I don't believe.
I am a little aware of our space programs, which more and more remain on paper "due to insufficient funding", or float away to the right, beyond the event horizon :) As they say, God forbid finish already started. And I still strongly doubt that the Chinese will treat us as equal partners in lunar programs. Because we will not be able to offer them anything that they themselves will not do by that time. They have long proclaimed that everything should be "made in China". Here they are stupidly, in a good way, and follow this principle. And we have nothing more to tear down. Is that "Nuklon", which is not yet. We can still (more precisely) early warning stations. Then it's definitely nothing else.
On this optimistic note, I end my writing.
PS

Wrong. Our STK "Yenisei" has already been designed.

Preliminary design? Does he have a chance to reach the CD, in the absence of funding? Besides, are we going to switch to methane? Or not gathered? I think that even in Roskosmos there is no clarity on this matter. My prediction: there will be a superheavyweight in Russia in 15 years, in the most positive scenario. To hell with him, let them consider me an optimist

Wrong. Laugh here can only dunno. The hull of the future MLM-U "Nauka" was made as a backup for the hull of the FGB "Zarya" in 1996. The body is not the module itself. The building itself was created for the docking and storage module planned at that time, which was abandoned during the construction of the station for certain reasons. How they abandoned the NEP. After that it was decided remake case under MLM.

You confused it with the Zvezda SM hull, it really was made in 1982 as a backup for the Mir station BB hull and was planned to replace it in the future. Those. at the time of the creation of the ISS RS, there were only three flight corps of the station modules, of which two modules were made - the first with the money of the Boeing corporation, the second with the crumbs that were allocated by the Yeltsin government and only a large backlog from the USSR made it possible to lag behind at the beginning of the creation of the station by only two years compared to original plans.

As for ground-based telescopes, let me remind you about net MASTER telescopes or three spacecraft-retransmitters "Luch" on the GSO, which are used to receive information from the "shadow" flight segments and which replace the old floating NPCs. Technology does not stand still, what was in the past is now replaced by a new one.

But we are talking about the current Russian Federation. And its prospects for space exploration, under the current government. After the accident with Phobos-Grunt (to be more precise, when it turned out that, contrary to tradition, there was no backup apparatus), when the program was screwed up, along with the work of scientists and engineers, I had all the illusions about the interest of the authorities in scientific space, completely evaporated. Sorry, I don't believe.

The work of Roscosmos or IKI RAS, as a customer of scientific programs, does not depend on your faith. Only the USSR could afford understudy devices - no other country due to "unlimited" funding. A fully operational AMS Mars-96 died due to the failure to turn on the serial upper stage DM2. And AMS Phobos-Grunt - because of the wrong decisions (forced due to chronic underfunding of zero) made decisions on the type of control system for its own upper stage. Let me remind you that serial Fregat upper stages were sent to Mars and Venus by two European stations, and the serial Breeze-M heavy module was sent to Mars under a joint program with ESA. As for domestic spacecraft, the new platform from Lavochkin "Navigator" works fine at one and a half million kilometers from the Earth.

I am a little aware of our space programs, which more and more remain on paper "due to insufficient funding", or float away to the right, beyond the event horizon :)

You are blind. And you do not see what has already been done, despite the "insufficient funding." Floating to the right, even fully funded programs - look at SLS or James Webb, not to mention the rest of the little things.

As they say, God bless finish already begun. And I still strongly doubt that the Chinese will treat us as equal partners in lunar programs. Because we will not be able to offer them anything that they themselves will not do by that time.

This only speaks of your ignorance of the essence of the issue. For example, the Chinese use Russian radioisotope thermochemical generators in their interplanetary programs. Without them, their stations would simply die. In addition, you do not understand the essence of joint programs.

They have long proclaimed that everything should be "made in China". Here they are stupidly, in a good way, and follow this principle. And we have nothing more to tear down. Is that "Nuklon", which is not yet. We can still (more precisely) early warning stations. Then it's definitely nothing else.

Yes, already torn apart external and internal (preliminary ) the design of our new-generation Orel spacecraft Return Vehicle, although this is only an appearance. We are still working on interior design solutions. As for the VA functionality, it is completely different from that of China - more technologically advanced. For example, we have a landing method - parachute-jet on retractable shock absorbers. In China - as in their Shenzhou, which, let me remind you, was created from the CA of the Union.

Besides, are we going to switch to methane? Or not gathered? I think that even in Roskosmos there is no clarity on this matter. My prediction: there will be a superheavyweight in Russia in 15 years, in the most positive scenario. To hell with him, let them consider me an optimist

I already wrote that the decision to switch to methane at STK is in the process. It depends on the operation of the middle carrier on LNG. For this, the Amur-LNG sketch is adopted. In addition, this technical question - it is required to accept the main program on the Moon in advance. In the current FKP we have three automatic stations to the Moon.

Well, again you are cunning:

Laugh here can only dunno. The hull of the future MLM-U "Nauka" was made as a backup for the hull of the FGB "Zarya" in 1996.

So the second one does not shine with success. But yes, they planted and rides

Understudy devices could only be afforded by the USSR

Now China is quite capable of itself. This is about the pace of development.

That's right, in 8 years we will launch Amur, then we will look, then at least another 8 years to do STK. Well, it fits perfectly into my forecast: it will take us 15 years to crawl to STK, in the most favorable scenario. If we have one at all this century. And then we can limit ourselves to the Angara.

Now we are making Soyuz-5 in order to make Amur later. The first Soyuz-5 will be ready in 2024. "Amur-LNG" will be created in parallel. I think it will fly in 2028. As for flights to the Moon, they will start on the Angara-A5V.

The competition was in 1994 and won it another Angara. The design of today's URM began in 1995, in 2004 the first URM was ready and was already assembled in the workshop. Then there were NARO launches in South Korea with our URM and they were waiting for the completion of the construction of the IC at the military in Plesetsk. Then they successfully launched prototypes from Plesetsk.

In 2012, the module entered the RKK for retrofitting and was ready for launch in 2013, and even the crew was preparing for the flight to accept it, but then there was the famous flushing of the tanks, after which chips were found in them. The funny thing is that most likely the "Dawn" also had shavings and this is the one did not stop become the first module of the ISS.

So what? Once again, the number of carrier launches depends on the amount of ready payload. We have two heavy carriers of the same class - Proton-M and Angara-A5. The latter belongs today to the military and they themselves decide what to let on it. They have already had the A5 ready for launch for half a year in Plesetsk - but its payload is just being assembled. And we have a "civilian" Proton-M - there are more than 10 missiles, until we all shoot off the Angara-A5 will not fly often.

But not in the current FKP.

You are confusing something. I said that the Amur-LNG launch vehicle might fly in 2028. When the start on Vostochny will be built. In order for the STK to fly in 2028, it is necessary today to start screwing on the first stage, which is now being tested, the RD-180MS engine, but so far this topic has been suspended due to a possible transition to methane. Energomash delivered only RD-171MV. It is with this engine that the stage is on the bench.

We are also building new carriers - the Angara spacecraft, the Soyuz-5 spacecraft, the Irkut spacecraft, the Rokot-M conversion spacecraft.

According to the first, the light version passed flight design tests, the heavy version was completed. According to the second, it will be sent to Peresvet to the stand. On the third - work is underway on the demonstrator. The fourth is generally ready, but does not burn (there is a replacement), and a decision was made to modernize the launch infrastructure - the first launch was postponed for a couple of years.

As for the station "Luna-25" - under the previous head, the station would have flown away with a probability of 90% in September But, several factors, including, by the way, China's lag in its lunar program, predetermined the transfer of the launch of the station to the next astronomical window for this device. Unfortunately, previous decisions for this AWS require such windows.

By the way, "heavyweight" is a new term coined by D.O. Rogozin to tarnish the brains of the townsfolk.
In Soviet terminology, a super-heavy launch vehicle is considered to be a launch vehicle with a payload of 100 tons or more, into a low reference orbit (LEO). Amers seem to have 50+ tons, for example:
Saturn-5, 140 tons
Energy, 100 t
SLS, 95 t
Falcon Heavy, 68 t
Starship, over 100 tons
Changzheng-9, more than 100
But Angara-A5V - 38 t, which does not even fit into Amer's concept of SuperHeavy.

Today, the preliminary design of the ROS station is underway, which should be completed next year. The Russian government has decided to extend the operation of the ISS RS until 2028. At the same time, interstate agreements have now been adopted only until 2024, so a meeting of the project leaders - the leadership of NASA and Roscosmos and amendments to the agreement on the continued operation of the ISS are required. Considering that, according to the manufacturer, after 2025, the ISS will begin irreversible processes associated with segment aging (and the station has exceeded its SAS period), which will require more attention from the station crew, the launch of the first module of the ROS station is possible one year before the start procedures for flooding the ISS. Therefore, now the output of such a module is planned (I remind you that the EP for the station has not yet been adopted) for 2027. More precisely, the timing of the withdrawal of ROS will become known after the adoption of the project of the station.

Also, the ISS RS will be used to test the Orel NP hardware and possibly the Gaganyan spacecraft as part of the station.

And those two concepts went into motion at the same time. Money, unless chickens peck and ruin competitors are taught.

Of course. A lot has changed since that time. For example, the concept of the rocket itself. Lateral payload now not required. In addition, as it turned out, it is simply dangerous for her.

They announced that we would make the Yenisei. After a while, it was announced that the Yenisei was not enough. The Don will also be built on the basis of the Yenisei.

Don't read Illustrator often, you've been told this before. He makes money from it.

When flying to the Moon, we will manage with three launches of a heavy Angara.

Two.

True, a hydrogen engine should be built for it, which has been stuck at the preliminary design stage for many years.

Wrong. Here is a photo of the tests of this engine in KBHA

You can not remind about the nuclear tug. He has been flying for several years now.

Also incorrect. You're looking at signed contracts, not at exhibitions. The contract with KB Arsenal for the development of the first spacecraft is ending in 2024. This has been known for a long time and you deliberately bypass this moment by engaging in misinformation.

The maximum that Russia can do is to cling to China as a train, which has made a stunning breakthrough in 20 years.

Let me remind you once again that the MLNS project implies an equal partnership.

Two.

What is it like? "Eagle" on Soyuz-5 will fly? In any case, three starts at least. Two dockings at LEO.

Lightweight PTK "Eagle" (Eaglet ) flies on the Angara-A5V, LVPK flies on the Angara-A5V. The missiles will launch from Vostochny and Plesetsk. In orbit of the Moon, the Oryol PTC with the LVPK can dock. Technically it is possible. But not the fact that you need. Perhaps we will dock with Lop-G.

The landing module is also lightweight, for only a "flag pole"? How long will the Eaglet fly to the Moon, with what accelerator? If KVTK, then its mass is already 20 tons, sort of. No, such an expedition is not needed in FIG. Ermolaev wrote correctly - 3 launches. Minimum. And 4 is better.

Why a flag pole? In the same place, the joint MLNS with China will already be deployed. In telecamera mode, the first stage will be assembled.

Angara-A5V will be able to send at least 15 tons on a departure trajectory to the Moon. And "Eaglet" has its own propulsion module. By the way, there is an option for testing the LVPK in advance - on Luna-28.

Do you hope the Chinese will bring housing and vehicles for us (after all, they will have a superheavy, not ours)? Here is where I approve of the hilarious emoji after the offer. It's funny to me

A-ha-ha-ha! They didn’t come up with anything better than how to “test” a truck in a passenger car? Good luck with your next fantasy!

With the help of Angara-A5V, we obtain a mass of 12 and a half tons in orbit of an artificial satellite of the Moon. It can be a normal residential module. Do you think it will be difficult to dock a propulsion module with fuel for landing?

And in the Celestial Empire they decided that many small (relatively, of course) and cheap rockets are better than one big and expensive one.
A confrontation begins between the supporters of the military super-super and the supporters of the military mosquito swarms.
