Russian engines NK-33 / AJ26 launched American Antares rocket into planned orbit

41
Tonight, the first experimental flight of the American Antares middle-class launch vehicle took place, designed to deliver cargo to the ISS. The rocket is equipped with engines NK-33 / AJ26, developed and produced at the Kuznetsov enterprise in Samara, which is part of the subsidiary of Rostec United Motion Corporation (UEC).



On the night of 21 on 22 on April 2013 of the year at 01.00 Moscow time, the Antares pilot flight program went into orbit to take the simulated payload to 600Х250 km in 300 seconds in degrees. The launch took place from the Mid-Atlantic Regional Space Center (MARS) in Virginia (USA).

The first stage of the launch vehicle, which included the installation of two engines NK-33 / AJ26, as expected, separated at an altitude of 113 km, having worked 235 seconds.

NK-33 / AJ26 is a modified version of the legendary Russian engine NK-33, developed over 40 years ago for the Soviet lunar program. Modernization of the NK-33 / AJ26 since the middle of the 90-s has been carried out by the American corporation Aerojet. Technical support for engine adaptation to the Antares launch vehicle within the framework of cooperation to foreign partners is provided by UEC specialists.

“Today, the Russian NC-33 in a modified version has found its customer in the United States of America. In the near future, it will be installed on the Russian light-class rocket. Certainly, the Soviet designers formed a colossal scientific and technical reserve that allows four decades later to use the created power plants on modern rockets, - said UDC General Director Vladislav Masalov. - However, we strive not only to use the existing engines, but also to recreate their production at a new technological level. Our engineering and engineering staff, who are currently working on this topic, I am sure, are able to accomplish this task. ”

The launch was of great importance to the American space program. In the summer of US 2011, the program turned the development of reusable space shuttles, which were used to deliver cargo and astronauts to the ISS. According to NASA plans, communication with the international space station will be carried out by private corporations. One of the contractors is planning to become Orbital Sciences, which developed the middle-class launch vehicle Antares.

“The first launch of the Antares launch vehicle can be considered historical a milestone in building strong international cooperation in space exploration. We are fully prepared for further fruitful work within the framework of the current Antares project and we hope that our established partnership will continue in the new directions of the American space program, ”said Vladislav Masalov.

In the near future, another launch of the Antares launch vehicle should take place, now with a real payload. His date and time will be known later.

        only I didn’t understand one thing:

        The missile is equipped with NK-33 / AJ26 engines, designed and manufactured at the Kuznetsov enterprise in Samara, which is part of the subsidiary of the Rostec State Corporation of the United Engine Corporation (UEC)


        and right there:

        Since the mid-33s, the American corporation Aerojet has been working on the modernization of the NK-26 / AJ90. Technical support for the adaptation of the engine to Antares LV within the framework of cooperation with foreign partners is provided by UEC specialists.


        So have Americans modernized it? And we just produce, or what?
        And so, I agree, in the USSR, technology was ahead of time in a number of areas. We still use this reserve.

            Harsh reality!

            I am sincerely sorry that according to the Official version, each "mattress" engine "bought" for $ 1000000 per piece. Cheaper only for nothing.

          "And we just produce, or how"
          Produced once. The Americans bought back all the NK-33s that had been in warehouses since the sixties for $ XNUMX million apiece. Ukrainian "Yuzhmash" built the first stage for these engines (which the author of the news modestly kept silent about). Pay attention to the phrases: "However, we strive not only to use the available engines, but also recreate their production at a new technological level. "There is no production of these engines now, and there are no significant stocks in warehouses - during the years of the general sale, the Americans cleaned out all the warehouses.

            In general, there was someone's "smart" order in the 70s to destroy them altogether. Nikolai Dmitrievich Kuznetsov, as a smart man, scored on the august order and hid them in the hangar.
            Therefore, we received at least some money. It makes no sense to renew their production. RD-191 is produced at OAO NPO Energomash in Voronezh.
            It is more modern and has a higher specific thrust impulse. As for the first stage, as Academician Glushko said, "attach a good engine to the fence, and the fence will fly."

        The situation is that the principles of engines proposed by the team of Sergey Pavlovich are sufficient to put into orbit are quite sufficient. It has already been possible to reduce the arc to 6 hours, and it is quite possible that working orbital trucks will appear soon, the same Russia, for example (not the way it is now positioned, but it has more potential). But already from orbit, you can go for a walk on the thermonuclear poison and the Solar System - a month before Mars it would be a tangible leap for people (even the Americans and ours came up with prototypes in the eighties). But the idea of ​​an engine in itself, the bulk of the ship for which the fuel tank occupies, is at least flawed)

        Why spend a lot of effort, human resource, money (rollback, cut), time (you can’t develop a new engine from scratch), when there is a normal engine that has been worked out by the industry for years, with a high modernization potential that can cope with the task.

          ALWAYS HAPPY TO HELP! fellow

          this site, although called an ALTERNATIVE story, always publishes ADEQUATE materials.

          on other sites of a patriotic orientation, they often publish such a fuck that sometimes you think if it’s not discriminating.

          I recommend another site of the OKO PLANET.

            Thanks! Listen, can someone "climb" with unclean paws on this site? Yesterday they attached the "Icelandic" flag to me, and now my "face" has disappeared from the "personal account" ... I then restored it, but the question remained!

              I don’t have a panel, I myself am a recent tutu.
              however. I have already encountered floating flags.
              one of my opponents was under the flag of the Russian Federation, then the USA flag flashed, then KZ.
              although he claimed that he was a citizen of the Russian Federation.

      Russian NK-33 / AJ26 engines launched an American rocket


      More precisely, Soviet engines. The former power of our empire still makes itself felt

      Who can explain to me, otherwise I have a number of conflicting questions
      - The United States climbed into a warehouse in Samara and from there scrapped 60 pieces. NK-33 which lay there for 40 years and now the rocket flew on this engine (40 years), what are they going to do in that case when they exhaust these 60 pieces?
      - Or NK-33 is now produced in Russia
      - Or the United States established production at home, that is, they have documentation for these engines.

        I already wrote above: NK-33 is not produced and will not be produced. But NPO Energomash OJSC produces RD-191. They have similar characteristics and are more modern, with a large specific thrust impulse.

        AJ-26 is a modification of the NK-33 engine developed by Aerojet and licensed in the USA for use on American launch vehicles (including Antares), created by removing some equipment from the original NK-33 (out of 37 copies purchased from SNTK them . N. D. Kuznetsova), adding American electronics, adapting the engine to the fuel produced in the USA, as well as equipping it with a universal joint for controlling the thrust vector (similar to NK-33-1)

        It's a shame that they sold the license, now they will do it themselves and pay nothing for the use of our technologies .. Actually, for all the developments of that time, instead of selling the equipment itself and providing work for our population, we sell technologies, and a one-time income from this flows abroad with the sellers themselves ..

          depending on how the license was sold.
          in some licenses, the fad is about the percentage of the finished product.

          although if you take the last time, then most likely there is a pure transfer of technology.
          that’s what the FSB needs to do.

          Most likely they will not be produced by mattresses all the same.
          Expensive. They worked on this issue, but they seemed to decide to refuse. It's cheaper to buy.

      If practical Americans fly on our engines, you will definitely have to soon see their next space triumph with super-powerful engines that surpass the greatest lunar F-1s and a new concept ship, reaching not only the Moon and Mars, but also capable of landing on an asteroid! !! President Obama can only choose a priority task to accomplish.
