The crash of the carrier rocket "Proton-M"

16 May another scheduled launch of a Proton-M launch vehicle with a spacecraft on board failed. Due to some, not yet installed, problems with the operation of some units, the payload was not brought into the calculated orbit. The rocket with the spacecraft burned in dense layers of the atmosphere. It was alleged that some debris could fall in the Trans-Baikal Territory.

The most common launch of the Proton-M rocket ended in failure, the goal of which was to launch the Mexican communications satellite MexSat-1 into orbit. To launch this device into geostationary orbit, it was planned to use the Proton-M launch vehicle and the Breeze-M upper stage. The spacecraft MexSat-1 was supposed to replenish the satellite constellation that provides communications in Central and South America. The MexSat-1 satellite is based on the Boeing 702HP platform, used as the basis for the construction of geostationary communications satellite.

Preparations for the launch was in accordance with the planned schedule. So, in the afternoon of May 13, Roscosmos announced the holding of a council of technical managers. Responsible persons heard reports from work managers, after which they decided to take the launch vehicle to the launch pad. The procedure of taking the Proton-M missile to the 200 site began on May 14 at 03: 30 Moscow time.

The launch of the Proton-M rocket with the Mexican satellite MexSat-1 took place on 16 in May at 08: 47 MSK. The first few minutes of the rocket flight took place in normal mode. According to Roskosmos, at the 497 second flight some problems occurred in the operation of third-stage engines. Shortly after receiving information about the abnormal operation of the engines, telemetry transmission ceased. The accident occurred about a minute before the scheduled moment of separation of the upper stage with the payload.

It soon became clear that the separation of the third stage did not happen and the satellite was probably lost. For the next few hours, the specialists of the rocket industry found out the fate of the launch vehicle and its payload, and also tried to establish the consequences of the accident. Literally half an hour after the loss of communication with the rocket in the domestic media, the first reports appeared about the accident, including with some technical details. So, RIA News With reference to a representative of the space industry reported that the satellite MexSat-1, most likely, will be considered lost. In addition, the source said that this device was planned to be put into orbit at an altitude of about 36 thousand km, but it did not even rise by one thousand.

In the afternoon of May 16, Roscosmos announced some details of the emergency launch. The approximate time of the cessation of the normal operation of the rocket systems, as well as other aspects of the accident, was mentioned. In 497 seconds of flight, the launch vehicle rose to an altitude of just 161 km. After the termination of the normal operation of the engine all the elements of the third stage and the payload, falling, burned in dense layers of the atmosphere. As of the date of publication of the news, Roscosmos experts did not record any incidents of unburned debris.

Possible causes of the accident were not called. It was alleged that the MexSat-1 spacecraft and its launch were insured by the customer. The Russian side, in turn, has insured its liability to third parties in advance. The investigation of the causes of the accident was to take a special interdepartmental commission.

According to Roskosmos, all the wreckage of the third stage of the Proton-M rocket and the Mexican satellite burned in the atmosphere. Nevertheless, in the morning there were reports of the fall of some fragments. RIA Novosti, citing a source in the emergency services, reported the fall of one of the fragments of the destroyed aggregates. In this case, the chip fell at a distance from the settlements. The place of his fall was not specified. Also in the morning on May 16, there were reports of a possible release of toxic propellant components that did not burn during the accident or the fall of debris.

By the evening of May 16 received messages from Mexico. Minister of Communications and Transport Gerardo Ruiz Esparza said that the loss of the satellite MexSat-1 will not affect the operation of communication systems. The operation of satellite systems in Mexico is guaranteed. In addition, the Minister noted that Mexico, developing satellite technologies, should be aware of the high risks in this area. Nevertheless, the risks are fully paid off by the benefits of launching and operating spacecraft. The satellite and its launch cost Mexico 390 million US dollars. The device and the launch were insured, which will allow the Mexican side to fully offset its costs.

The day after the accident, a commission was created, which is to be investigated. The chairman of the commission was the head of Roscosmos, Igor Komarov. Deputy Director General of the GKNPTs named for them. Mv Khrunicheva Alexander Medvedev. In addition to them, the commission included representatives of Roskosmos, the Ministry of Defense, the Board of the Military-Industrial Commission, as well as employees of various organizations in the space industry.

The causes of the accident have not yet been determined. The investigation will take some time, after which the commission will be able to name the prerequisites for the rocket crash. Without waiting for the conclusions of the commission, the public, experts and the press are trying to build their own assumptions about the possible causes of abnormal operation of third-stage engines.

Due to the lack of published information, the public and specialists who do not have access to the investigation materials are unlikely to accurately determine the causes of the accident. For this reason, at the moment there are different versions trying to explain the occurrence of prerequisites for the accident and the course of events on the 497 second flight.

The most plausible and plausible version is of any marriage made during the construction of the launch vehicle. This version is supported by the results of the investigation of previous accidents of Proton missiles. So, the cause of emergency launches 3 July 2013 of the year and 16 May 2014-th were the design of the launch vehicle and improper assembly. In particular, the cause of the 2013 accident of the year was the incorrect fixing of the angular velocity sensors: three of the six such devices were assembled in the wrong position when the rocket was assembled.

It is possible that some problems in the design of the launch vehicle or its individual components became the cause of the recent accident. However, the final conclusions should be made by an official commission. She has to examine all the available materials and conduct a full investigation. It may take from several weeks to several months to carry out all the necessary work. Roscosmos promises to report separately on the results of the commission’s work.

"
Errors in the production of the Proton-M launch vehicle could have caused it to crash during the May 16 launch.
This is the opinion of Konstantin Kreidenko, editor of the GLONASS Vestnik.
"In my opinion, the reason for what happened to the Proton-M launch vehicle is a manufacturing defect. Somewhere during the manufacture of the third stage, there was no appropriate control of technological, installation operations or there was no sufficient control of the materials that were used for the production of components and assemblies of the rocket. The reason must be sought in this ", - said TASS Kreidenko.
In addition, the expert emphasized, the slow modernization of the ground-based control complex does not allow increasing the amount of observed and processed information from the launch vehicle systems during prelaunch preparations.
"The operating test equipment of the technical and launch complexes of the cosmodrome is, apparently, an insufficient number of parameters of the rocket and space complex. At the same time, the product is delivered to the cosmodrome several weeks before launch for the necessary checks and tests. During this time, thanks to modern information technologies, it was possible to check the product more thoroughly, to identify defects that were not identified in the manufacturing process, "- explained the agency's interlocutor."
In general, "this, yes,", and the result - well, "on the face", as they say ....

So the salary level has nothing to do with it. His work must be done qualitatively with any reward. Or do not do it at all.
We have a huge mass of beggars (yes, beggars!) Of people who in our rich country are doing their job for a penny qualitatively.
And the newly minted workers, various drones and "migrant workers" who believe that "small salary" = "lack of responsibility" + "slipshod work", and the nouveau riche chiefs-crisis managers, who believe that if you have a low salary then you are s ** * 0 ** are just parasites, irresponsible people, temporary workers and criminals.

Don't like the job? Don't like the salary? Well, for heaven’s sake, go where it’s better for you that you sit and moan, and red tape and carelessness produce? Go get rich.

So either you do quality work - or you sit for negligence. You look over time when there are very few people who want to work for a penny or sit - the state will begin to pay as it should.

In the summer of 2012, the St. Petersburg City Court sentenced two professors of the Baltic State Technical University named after Ustinov "Voenmech" to 12 and 12,5 years in a strict regime colony for providing the Chinese special services with classified information about the Bulava missile. In particular, Afanasyev was sentenced to imprisonment for 12 years and six months, Svyatoslav Bobyshev - 12 years.

According to the investigation, during a business trip to China, the professors took there "classified information constituting a state secret, where they transferred it to representatives of the Chinese military intelligence for a monetary reward."
During the announcement of the verdict, the judge noted that the information transmitted to China related to research in relation to the Bulava-30 shipborne missile system and the peculiarities of the missile's movement. The judge said that the data that the convicts transferred to China can now be incorporated into the system for detecting Russian submarines.

Not so simple...
The "production and quality control system" has been lost since the times of the USSR.
It's all here:
- The elimination of military representatives (VP) in the workplace, including allies
- the famous "triple control", which if it remains, it is only formally
- the general level of staff qualifications is also low

In these conditions, it is also not necessary to say that "technology tested over the years" is also not necessary, because regular "notices of permission" (simplifying production and expanding tolerances) constantly undermine the quality of the product itself. Those. The 2015 Proton is not the one that was, for example, under the Soviet Union ...

Top managers do not forget to conclude contracts that are beneficial for them for the purchase of second-rate microcircuits for control systems (the quality is questionable). This is how we live ... the rocket fell, the commission created top managers were transferred from one place to another ... that's just for all the time, except for layoffs, not a single "landing" of any top manager.

Interestingly, this 2013 assembly rocket was originally intended to launch a Russian satellite
Express. Now the situation in the space industry is not easy. The leadership is changing, there are reductions, ineffective areas are closed, projects are transferred from department to department and from plant to plant. On Khrunichev, where Protons are assembled, rumors have been circulating for a long time that the plant will be closed altogether, production will be moved to Omsk, and the territory will be handed over for elite construction - Moscow is the same. Mergers and acquisitions are coming - these are the consequences of the consolidation of the URCS. And if earlier three factories produced three types, for example, star sensors, now we can expect that the sensor will be left alone, and the specialists left without work will be offered to move (at best), or just go outside. In the face of such career prospects, motivation and work culture do not improve in any way. And if the locksmith did NOT even deliberately brush a handful of metal sawdust into the fuel line with his sleeve, he will not deliberately reach to get them - the back is not official, if tomorrow you have to go to work as a loader on the market, now it is better to take care of yourself. Americans calculated that over the past six years there have been 13 major accidents in the Russian cosmonautics, 20 spacecraft have been completely lost, 3 satellites have been put off the wrong way. And these are “adult” satellites, worth tens and hundreds of millions of dollars, not some cubs there. In the USA, launches are one and a half times less frequent, and accident rates are four times lower. It’s just that, the most obvious example.

I consider the main version of sabotage, sabotage ordered from abroad. Medvedev is frightening with the ruble, but not with the ruble, but with the restriction of freedom for at least 10 years. Billions of people's rubles are scattered in the wind. A fine of 50-100 thousand rubles will not frighten someone who for 5-10 thousand dollars pours metal shavings into the fuel line or deliberately cleans the joints poorly, referring to "fatigue" or "oversight". The link of direct executors must be covered in full, and not just managers. It is much easier, cheaper and more efficient for foreign special services to negotiate with a simple worker than with a soggy engineer.

Question - And who will redesign the engine block 17B14?
Since everyone wanted then on vacation - the project fell on me - yesterday's student. And without any special support, I made it.
But this is wrong (this is the look of today's professional). Where are these famous mentor leaders - Queens of the space industry?
I made the project as a whole not bad - in comparison with others, I did not have a trach-droma in the workshop.
But this is very bad - there is no noise around you - there is no career growth ..
That is - what you select - you get

Yes, there was such a thing. And immorality and careers were present. I confirm that I myself met with a similar one. But there were mentors. A project, of course, and the young could do. But the experienced one will always correct those subtleties that the young are not aware of. Otherwise, it will not fly, but crawl.

[Justme]

The men and leaders of the lower level were different - and good and vice versa ..
But I really didn’t have real mentors, although I myself sometimes helped the young ones ..
One of the most serious claims to the space industry - I didn’t see at the top of the leadership (OKB Torch, NIIFI) technical leaders as in the movie about Korolev - those who led them could see the technical essence of the problems, create a climate of communication between like-minded people, would have physical and mathematical depth of vision.
And what flourishes when there is such funding and there is no understanding - what is actually achieved there is done and achieved by technology below - this is the topic of a very big discussion

[Justme]

Why not speak more openly
In the space industry, there has always been a whole bunch of serious problems in relationships. This is between specialists and managers, the top and bottom of the hierarchy, between organizational bureaucracy and the logic of solving problems.
between the talented and the gray mass (first of all - the official technical "geniuses")
The fact of these problems is ignored and the problems are growing.
For example, I found a simple solution for myself - a couple of years ago I left to work in a private company.

MOSCOW, May 19. / TASS /. Eight criminal cases were brought against former employees of the Center. Khrunichev, damage to the enterprise by more than 9 billion rubles was revealed, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said at a plenary meeting in the State Duma on Tuesday.
According to him, the deplorable state of the enterprise led to the need for a financial recovery program for the Center for 2015-2020. The program provides for financial support in the amount of 37,5 billion rubles, the conclusion of long-term contracts. In addition, the Center changed its leadership.
"In the course of joint work with the FSB, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Investigative Committee of Russia, eight criminal cases have been opened. Acts of fraud, abuse of authority, forgery of documents have been uncovered, which resulted in economic damage of over 9 billion rubles to the enterprise," Rogozin said.
"Given the high moral decay of the bosses, one should not be surprised by the poor quality of the products," he said.
According to the Deputy Prime Minister, the low quality of the products of the Center. Khrunichev led to accidents of the Proton-M launch vehicle, which reduced its competitiveness in the world market.
Rogozin also noted that the receivables of the Center. Khrunichev is 7,3 billion rubles.
"As a result of the inventory of the company's assets, uncollectible receivables were revealed, which did not bring results, but expenses, shortages in materials and fixed assets, totaling 7,3 billion rubles," Rogozin said.

For example, ISO-9001 quality standards, this is a simplified version of the quality assurance system that existed in Soviet rocket science since the beginning of the 60s. And now, again not from other people's words, I can argue that this SYSTEM has been lost over the past 23 years. The training system is destroyed. So all accidents are UNDERSTANDINGly vulgar systemic inability. The design of the rocket - nothing to do with. For 50 years of its use, all the shortcomings have been eliminated.

Workers and engineers, as well as quality controllers in the production of these missiles, are probably very tired of making them. 35 years of doing the same thing. For example, a 35-year-old worker tightens the same nuts, the controller observes and checks what he is checking there - they are probably tightened. And it's 35 years old! All brands of cars, household appliances and technologies, like all life, have already changed. The state is gone! But the rocket and the work are still the same. And young people cannot be interested in it. Maybe only if the salary is very good, so that you can come to it on foreign cars, and leave with relief upon a call - like "here's another day has passed - well, x .. with him." But she's hardly so good there.

[gladcu2]

Salary growth cannot be solved. Since there is no guarantee of feedback. They will take the salary, but no one will work.
We need a serious set of measures to increase motivation. And who will do it? Clear pepper, top managers. Who have already received their salary and will not work to work themselves.

Need project Yezhov 2.0, for rough cleaning. And then the Beria 2.0 project for fine, filigree polishing. So to speak, the carrot and stick method.

And yet, probably the time has come when the GDP should take care of the fate of the DM, if not quiet, then at least with confiscation. For the slip in the work of the government is already an arrow, those are still Soviet tires.

In general, I had a suspicion that GKNPC them. MV Khrunicheva simply drowns Proton-M. Well, judge for yourself that there is theirs A5 Angara, which they decided to move for a while.
In addition, few people noticed that Angara just flew after a series of unsuccessful launches of the Proton in 2010-14. And the emergency protection system "proved to be excellent." And after some time, a heavier version flew, which should directly replace the Proton-M.
Secondly, the RD-170 engine family is being promoted, as well as a new spacecraft and other whistle-flickers ... As mentioned above, they want to get rid of the Proton assembly shops.
Those. it's just that Proton-M is TURNING - it interferes with EVERYONE. And how "successfully" the "sanctions" with Yuzhmash arrived to lobby Angara A3. And "in time" they cut down Rus-M, limiting themselves to the option of modernizing the old Union, which is kept solely as a backup option.

I read an article about a recruiting agency, when asked what their most difficult vacancy was, they answered that they needed a milling cutter for some kind of super machine, a salary of 230 rubles could not be found with suitable qualifications

The old one is apparently out of date - in the sense of aging.

Quote: JustMe

When I entered the space industry in 1983, it already smelled of rot.
The governing elite was frankly fixated on inter-clan games and hanging out at the ministry.
Question - And who will redesign the engine block 17B14?
Since everyone wanted then on vacation - the project fell on me - yesterday's student. And without any special support, I made it.
But this is wrong (this is the look of today's professional). Where are these famous mentor leaders - Queens of the space industry?
I made the project as a whole not bad - in comparison with others, I did not have a trach-droma in the workshop.
But this is very bad - there is no noise around you - there is no career growth ..
That is - what you select - you get

You are a bit out of luck. I came to the space industry in 1986, and much of what you write about was also there. And a new project + maintenance of the current ones also loaded me.
However, with the mentors lucky. So once at a time it is not necessary. The enterprises were different and different traditions.

I do not think that such a small salary is for those who work in the space industry. Unless someone believes that all these workers should be millionaires.

To be honest, the thought of sabotage or sabotage occurred to me when, one after another, accidents began to occur. But without any known facts, one can only gossip about how likely this is.

And the education system in all CIS countries (maybe this is not so in Belarus) is degrading. I affirm as a person who worked a couple of years at school. Many seminars, advanced training courses, round tables, empty chatter are held so that more intelligent children become, and the result is 0! And the reason is unknown. Maybe it is simple - such a life has become.
Kenedy, when he was presented with the result of an investigation into the reason for the withdrawal of the world's first Sputnik by the USSR, said: "If we do not immediately get down to physics and mathematics, we will have to study the Russian language."

Sloppiness and inaction are also crimes. Indirect intent. Sabotage through their encouragement is sabotage!

well, the reform of Roscomos has already begun.

And you ask how many schools Google has closed in Russia over the past 10 years, and for laughs how many churches opened

With such an education system as it is today, one has to rely only on the fear of these freaks before the final judgment.

so conceived!
