Americans ordered a new batch of rocket engines in Russia

The United Launch Alliance consortium (it includes Lockheed Martin Corp and Boeing Co) ordered in addition 20 Russian engines RD-180, passes RIA News message Reuters.

The representative of the association, Jessica Rozh, explained to the agency that “the deliveries of the new consignment will begin immediately after the previous order for the 29 engines is completed”.

She recalled that "the engines will be used on American Atlas-5 missiles until the United States develops and certifies its own new engine." RD-180 is used in the first stage of American launch vehicles.

Previously, Senator McCain stated with regret that Congress had to lift the ban on the purchase of RD-180 engines in 2016, which is why "Putin will receive tens of millions of dollars."

The agency recalls that in 2014, the House of Representatives "adopted the amendment of Senator John McCain as an anti-Russian measure on events in Ukraine, which provides for the United States to completely abandon the RD-180 rocket engines." An exception was made only for the ULA consortium, which concluded a contract with NPO Energomash before 2019.

The development of its own engine from the US budget was allocated $ 220 million.

$ 220 million was allocated from the US budget

...To each...

But seriously, in connection with the US sanctions, prices for Russian engines should be doubled, well, or triple ....

These are the so-called conquerors of the moon :))) I am tormented by vague doubts about whether they were there

[Maxom75]

It was, but just in the 90s, the Americans sincerely believed that everything was being sold in Russia and that the military-industrial complex and space enterprises would soon become their property, so why strain your brains and budget if these Russian monkeys did everything cheaper. And then there was a bummer in the face of GDP and it was necessary to restore what was lost. Like our amers, the personnel problem became, the old ones left, but they didn’t raise new ones, and now they are suffering from staff starvation. ours do not go there, but ours are not. The space industry, like all engineering, is an evolutionarily developing area and it does not work according to the grant system, here you need to constantly invest in order to get an outstanding final result.

It's like 2003. The Dark Side of the Moon. Also a "fat point in the conspiracy", also a sensation, the disclosure of a "scam".

[Terner38]

Telemetry from a spacecraft does not prove that there were people there. And the opinion of the furomans changed dramatically after the interview of our astronaut (in my opinion, Grechko), which was about 2-3 weeks ago on the forum. But only again, he did not give any evidence, except for words about telemetry. And about Kubrick specifically said that he would allegedly have shot scenes of the moon landing in Hollywood.

But then America was, not PendoSStan.
And even the enemies were worthy ...
The only question is - why aren't sanctions imposed on these engines and Mi-17 with Mi-24 for Dushmanistan?
Or will RD-180 be launched by self-delivery, at half price and a 25% discount on conventional (like OD-7k) payload?

The only question is - why aren't sanctions imposed on these engines and Mi-17 with Mi-24 for Dushmanistan?

Perhaps for this:

<...> The problem is that we do not have modern satellites. We either buy them in a completely finished form, or assemble them from imported modules, or build ourselves, but from imported elements. Even our largest satellite TV operators (NTV + and Tricolor TV) use the European satellite Eutelsat ...
... Only domestic satellites of the Glonass system are made of domestic components, the group of which we regularly replenish on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean.
Alas, the cost of creating domestic satellites is four times higher than foreign standards, and average expected life Russian satellites make up 6,3 of the year, while China has 7,4 of the year (for comparison, the USA and Europe have 9,9 and 10,2 of the year, respectively.
As a result, we have to deal primarily with launches of foreign satellites, and our share in the global space industry turned out to be vanishingly small - about 0,5%. But maybe we at least know how to launch rockets well?

I think that Stalin would have acted differently-DO NOT SELL! And there are many advantages for the Russian Federation:
1. US missiles will remain on the ground for a long time.
2. The development and production of engines will take 3-5 years and "hundreds of lard green peepifax", while not the fact that the result will be positive.

[BNVSurgut]

According to RBC, yesterday there was a story about an American ship (rocket launcher, I'm not an expert), which landed after the satellites were launched into space, with the possibility of reuse. Will our engines be needed now, or will they fly on them? Tell me who is in the know.

[Gormenghast]

RD-180 is a closed circuit engine with generator gas afterburning. Merlin-1D is an open circuit engine.

Accordingly, the specific impulse on the ground / in the void in Merlin is 282/311 units, while in the RD-180 - 311/338 units. 30 units of specific thrust is a very significant increase in payload. They can only be competitors based on price / performance.

The return of the first stage of Falcon-9 has not yet proved the possibility of its reuse. And not a fact that proves. An example is the Shuttle. Scheduled launches once a week; in fact it was less than once a month, at a monstrous price. One reason is the need for engine overhauls.

Musk now promises us (just like the fantastic Stark ) that reuse will be possible in a day. We will see. And let's see if NASA will consent to the use of used engines and ships for manned launches, which is what Musk is aiming for.

[voyaka uh]

If possible, the start-ups will be cheaper by 30-40 percent no less.
Even if a thorough inspection of the returning 1st stage
take a week or two, anyway - a breakthrough.

[Gormenghast]

The space-ex Dragon's landing capsule is also theoretically reusable; however, so far there have been no precedents for its reuse.

At the same time, I am particularly pleased to note that the lander of the Soviet Transport Supply Ship (TKS; had no own name) was actually reused in the late 70s and early 80s of the last century. Only heat protection was changed. The priority in this matter is with the beautiful and powerful USSR.

And about the first stage - vague doubts torment me; the engine is full of fittings - nozzles, valves, squibs, seals - you can’t get by with just one inspection. RS-25, it was SSME, it was sorted out, replacing doubtful details.

Reluctantly, I have to admit that Elon Musk, of course, is great. However, he is highly obsessed with aggressive and unreasonable advertising. Launch rates and media deadlines have not yet been met; the carrying capacity of its missiles and their cost are far from those declared. The Red Dragon promised and the super-heavy carrier - so far only promises; the dates are postponed. Inflated the state of Spacex (although initially he positioned a reduction in price, including a small state). He's not very good with commerce either; launches, mainly, for government money, on government orders. There has already been one serious accident and one disaster - and he is going to certify Falcon-9 for manned launches. In the matter of rescuing the astronauts, I literally went through the ass - all ships have SAS mounted on top of the carrier; it "pulls out"a ship or a capsule with astronauts from an emergency rocket at the expense of multi-hundred-ton thrust of solid-propellant engines. And Musk decided to combine the SAS with the ship's engines - that is, they are under the ass of the ship, under the astronauts, and should not pull out, but carry the ship away from the exploded rocket. it will work - nobody knows yet.

[Bayonet]

Quote: Gormengast

The return of the first stage of Falcon-9 has not yet proved the possibility of its reuse.

Here, the distant sight is the development of landing and take-off from other planets. On Mars, for example, the atmosphere is very discharged and the landing of manned spacecraft (with subsequent take-off) will be carried out on a jet thrust.

NPO Energomash and Russia as a whole - benefit. High-tech products; it's not oil.

Americans, of course, will develop their own engine, which at best will be similar in characteristics (it will not work better), but it will certainly be more expensive. If only because the RD-180 is half of the Soviet four-chamber RD-170; a significant part of the costs of its development was borne by the Soviet Union; in the current price of the engine these costs are not taken into account.

[asiat_61]

The development of its own engine from the US budget was allocated $ 220 million.

Very scary amount. Zero point one thousandths of an ocean. Only three deliveries of American astronauts to the ISS. But you need to take such an amount in one flight and the return is less than a pollard. Yes, it’s expensive, but who cares?

If inadequate McCain was even a little versed in engine building, he would not have yelled that the US was buying the RD-180 from Russia. You can’t do such an engine in a couple of days. Although they allocated money to develop their own, it is not known how long this development will take. So let them say thanks to ours. And bucks will not be superfluous to us. I would also increase the price. Where will they go ...

In fact, we work in such cases not even on an advance payment, but after full payment we just start deliveries. The cost has already increased, compared to 2012-2013, from 9 to 11 million.
