Russia has patented a rescue ship for astronauts

Inventors from Russia have patented a special ship to rescue cosmonauts caught in an emergency. This is stated in a document published by Rospatent.


The ship will be able to pick up astronauts flying to the Moon or other objects in the solar system if they need help. This is a reusable manned spacecraft that will be protected from the effects of space radiation and debris, the document says. In addition, its protection will reduce the danger of meteor showers.

The rescue ship will consist of several parts, including upper stages and a block for accommodating astronauts. They will first be put into low Earth orbit, where they will be assembled. To launch the lifeboat components into orbit, it is planned to use Russian Angara-A5 and Proton-M launch vehicles.

The rescued cosmonauts will be placed in a specially designed shelter block, in which they will go into low Earth orbit. Here the cosmonauts will transfer to the Soyuz spacecraft, on which they will return to Earth.

Recall that Russia has adopted a program for the exploration of the Moon for 2021-2040, and such a ship will be a good help for our astronauts going to the Earth’s satellite. The main thing is that the program dynamically follow the path of implementation without delays, as was often the case in a number of other cases of space exploration programs developed after the collapse of the USSR.

      To cut this down, firstly, we need technology, secondly, an element base, and thirdly, think about the civilian market, the quality of goods in a competitive environment. In our country, "Soviet + early Russian thinking" will not disappear from the mentality for another 200 years.

        What is "soviet thinking"?
        How does it differ from "early Russian"?
        To what place in commodity-money relations apply the concept of "mentality"?

        By the way, it is not quality that wins in competition, but greed, strength and unscrupulousness. Market relations in their pure form do not exist in "civilized countries", otherwise it is Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, yes, there is real market competition in its purest form. And then, they are already taking over the coercive apparatus that has seized the state apparatus.
        But I digress. Answer the questions please.

        What makes you think that he does all this with private money?
        Musk is a military project disguised as Musk. All the money is scrolling from NASA and the military, and Musk only has his Tesla and all sorts of social networks.

      It would be better if they made a movie, how they flew to the moon. The Americans were able to shoot in the pavilion, but Russia is worse? The fact that Russia has to do everything in full size, and shoot a landing on it on the natural moon?

        Alex, hello, we are being downvoted again, which means a flock of "well-wishers" has come running. And as for they could ... they couldn’t, it’s already too late to present, you see, the current was strong, the bathyscaphe demolished, everything “couldn’t” dock here, a couple in spacesuits, and there 118 sailors and officers died.
        By the way, the crew of the "Union" decided to launch on a leaky ship .. if anything.

      By the way, it’s strange that they didn’t work out this in the union, they usually took it into account, and before the collapse, the idea seemed to slip away. It seems that a specialized heavy-duty submarine was not created for the quick extraction of the crew. Well, relatively fast. How many years have passed since "she drowned"? Do we have means of salvation? Not patents and projects, but proven machines and exercises. Somehow I didn't ask that question. The Dutch are definitely not helping us.

    Patents are different. Like what is described in the article. Or storl is "revolutionary" like this
    Tights for three legs
    15 most stupid patents in the history of mankind
    If you thought that this thing was made for mutants, then you were mistaken: it is intended for ordinary healthy women with two legs. The idea of ​​releasing these tights is simple and ingenious: when one "stocking" is torn, it is enough for a girl to get a spare pocket sewn to her belt, and hide the torn one in its place. For some reason, the creator of this thing patented only tights with three "stockings" - surely any woman would be happy if she had such clothes with eight spares.

      Tramp Syndrome. Painting rockets under Khokhloma, flights of the actress to the ISS, space-scale projectors - this is our everything. Only this we live and breathe for lack of another.
      Here we cannot organize a prompt rescue mission to the station (at the ISS for the RS, whatever one may say - NshS, whether the lifeboat will fulfill its function in case of force majeure is a big question), but we aim to immediately save the astronauts of the lunar expedition.
      This is despite the fact that so far even the long-suffering Luna-25 has not been launched, maybe even this year it will be possible to push it out.
      And what else is there "Proton-M"? The production of "Protons" has been stopped and curtailed. Forever. The existing and under development launch vehicles are all scheduled for previously concluded contracts. Where can I get a carrier for these fantasies?

        Under Rogozin, rockets stopped falling, so you can’t write good things about him

        Under Rogozin, the number of launches was sharply reduced, hence the smaller number of accidents. This is first.
        Secondly, Roozin speculated exclusively on the Soviet legacy and promoted it. The one and only Russian rocket engine, made after the collapse of the USSR, is not directly related to Rogozin, and even he goes only to the second stage of the carrier. As we flew on Glushko's engines, so we fly and will continue to fly, because there is nothing more for the soul.
        Maybe under Rogozin they created a new launch vehicle? Not at all. "Angara" began to be designed when Rogozin himself was not even in the project in the space field. And so far (after the resignation of Rogozin) "Angara" has not yet left the LCI.
        What is his merit? That he painted rockets under Khokhloma? Did you write poetry? In addition to nonsense about trampolines? That he quarreled with all the leading space powers? What threw the Russian cosmonautics back? The fact that spaceports abroad are lost? The fact that millions of contracts are broken?

    The rescued cosmonauts will be placed in a specially designed shelter block, in which they will go into low Earth orbit. Here the cosmonauts will transfer to the Soyuz spacecraft, on which they will return to Earth.
    That is, the presence of its own manned station in orbit becomes even more necessary. it can serve as a transshipment base where these "rescuers" can be parked and where a transfer to "Soyuz" or "Eagle" can take place

      Patented, and it is not clear what. The idea of ​​a rescue ship, well, it's like patenting a wheel. The concept of "a reusable manned spacecraft that will be protected from the effects of cosmic radiation and debris .. the protection of which will reduce the danger from meteor showers." again from the category of statements "Captain evidence". Assembling it in orbit... again. The use of Angara-A5 and Proton-M launch vehicles, so no one except Roscosmos will do this.
      A specially designed shelter block, so it's just not designed, but this part is at least somehow worthy of a patent.
      Real news, like from the time of Rogozin's leadership. There, that someone watched the movie "The Martian".

    The ship will be able to pick up astronauts flying to the moon or other objects of the solar systemif they need help. This is a reusable manned spacecraft., which will be protected from the effects of space radiation and debris, the document says. In addition, its protection will reduce the danger of meteor showers..

      We take a reusable armored, shielded shuttle, fly up to the ship in distress, hook it into the hangar, and descend to the ground with it.
      Really how to implement it? But this is no longer for me. Look, Rogozin has an idea for implementation - Trampoline. I wonder if he patented it or not? The implementation idea is bad, but at least something. lol

        And here Rogozin is to blame?
        Sleep long, Borisov has been in charge of Roskosmos for several months now.
        How convenient it is when there is a person on whom you can blame everything and promote it.
        Earn likes. But they didn’t ask the question, who organized the hit on Rogozin?
        Maybe the liberals who stole in the East and whose tail was pinched by Rogozin.
        And then there was a mass of those who are ready to pull up.
        Rogozin is no better or worse than other officials.
        But the fact is that it was under him that thefts on Vostochny were discovered and there were no accidents under him.
        I don't like Rogozin, like many other officials, but it's not right to hang all the dogs on him.
        Financing of Roskosmos was reduced every year. How much they paid, so much they did.
        Now look at the budget of NASA, the Chinese agency and Musk.
        I am not going to defend Rogozin at all, but I think that all accusations must be proven.

    I might as well patent the Mars flight system that came to my mind in 10th grade in 1975.
    Short description:
    There must be three (three) ships, each of which can deliver a crew to Mars and two crews from the surface of Mars to Earth. The ships start at intervals of 30 days.
    Each ship on board has a self-descent Martian house and a landing-takeoff stage with a living compartment for two crews, a prefabricated airship for flights in the Martian atmosphere and a rover.
    The third ship will launch last and unmanned.
    Thus, the second ship is rescue for the first, and the third is for the first and second. Plus, the second and third ships are repeaters of the radio signals of the ships ahead.
    Here it is in short.
