Mission to Mars will provide US space leadershipWhile the camera of the Russian-European spacecraft ExoMars sent the first image of the Red Planet to Earth, the United States is working on sending a full-fledged manned expedition to Mars. Why the Americans need it, how much such a project will cost and whether Russia plans to participate in it - questions that need to be answered.

The task of manned flyby of Mars was set by President Barack Obama back in 2010 year. Then he outlined the following plan of action for NASA: by 2025, to make a manned flight to an asteroid nearby to Earth, in the middle of 2030, to Mars, after which the landing mission will follow. For the time being, we can say that NASA as a whole fits within the target dates. At the same time, the agency plans not just to fly around the Red Planet, but to visit its natural satellite Phobos.

To date, the agency has identified six key elements required for a mission to Mars, including landing. These are the heavy SLS carrier, the Orion spacecraft, the Transheb residential module (for flight along the Earth-Mars-Earth route), the landing module, the take-off stage and the solar-electric propulsion system (SEP). According to one of the preliminary estimates, it will be necessary to deliver tons of cargo and equipment from 15 to 20 to the surface of the Red Planet to ensure the first landing of people on its surface. However, NASA representatives voiced the figure in 30 and more tons, taking into account the fact that the weight of one projected takeoff stage alone will be 18 tons, and the weight of the landing module will be at least 20 tons. To send these elements into space, you need at least 6 heavy / super heavy SLS media launches from 70 to 130 tons. In order to save time and money on the development and production of this "heavy truck", NASA used the technology and technology left over from the space shuttles, including the engines, fuel tank and solid fuel accelerators of the shuttles.

The elements of the Martian complex will be assembled in a bundle not in near-Earth orbit, but at the Lagrange point L-2. It is located one and a half million kilometers from Earth, behind the far side of the Moon, in 61 500. This point is considered an ideal place for the construction of space complexes, because it balances the forces of gravity of the Earth and the Sun, which provides a "construction site", which is practically not exposed to external gravitational effects. NASA calls the L-2 nothing more than a “test site”, emphasizing that not only the assembly will be carried out there, but also the testing of the Martian technology.

The American and international media have repeatedly, including with reference to some sources at NASA, mentioned the possibility of returning Americans to the moon as part of the preparation of the Martian expedition. But now the question is not worth it. As John Logsdon, one of the leading US experts in space policy, told the VIEW VIEW newspaper, the creation of a lunar landing module is not part of NASA’s plans. It is not excluded, however, the possibility that the European Space Agency (ESA) will decide on the implementation of the flight to the moon. And in the event that ESA builds a landing module, the US may participate in a European lunar project, possibly by providing SLS to deliver this module to a natural satellite of the Earth.

Three steps to Mars



Most powerful boosters in stories cosmonautics

NASA called its first step "leaning on Earth." It includes the development of the necessary operations and the accumulation of the required experience in Earth orbit using the ISS. In addition, as part of this step, the agency is developing ways and methods of using available Martian resources (ISRU) to obtain fuel and other necessary materials. The exercise is very useful if you consider that 18 tons of fuel will be required for the 33-ton take-off stage, and NASA intends to extract it from the carbon dioxide and water on the Red Planet.
The second step is called the “test site,” which, as already noted, is located at the L-2 point. With the help of an automatic vehicle, it is planned to capture a nearby asteroid, which will be transferred to this point, where it will be surveyed by the crew of the Orion spacecraft.

The third step was called "independent of the Earth." We are already talking about the direct study and development of the Red Planet. It includes life on Mars, the intensive use of Martian resources, as well as the regular transfer to Earth of scientific information obtained through advanced communication systems.

The role of "Orion" is worth more details. Despite the fact that it looks like an enlarged version of the classic Apollo-type disposable ship (sometimes Orion is jokingly called Apollo on steroids), the new taxi for NASA astronauts will be reusable - it is planned to use the same descent vehicle ship up to ten times. At the same time, the Orion will be distinguished by increased “passenger capacity” and will be able to take on board the crew up to 7.

But this is not the main feature of Orion. According to Charles Prekott, vice president of Orbital ATK, a company that develops five-segment solid fuel boosters for SLS, the ship will become part of the interplanetary Martian complex. Its systems, including the life support system (LCL) and radiation protection, will be integrated into this complex in order to increase its reliability.


Success statistics of space launches in different countries

The estimated resource of Orion is at least 1000 days. It is designed to enter the Earth’s atmosphere at elevated speeds, such as when returning from L-2 or from Mars. In addition, the ship will become an additional shelter for the crew in case something goes wrong. Precott gave an example with the Apollo-13, whose crew after the explosion of the oxygen tank in the command module during the flight to the Moon was saved largely thanks to the coolant and the propulsion system of the lunar landing module. This module, although it was not designed to work during the flight along the Earth-Moon-Earth route, in a critical situation successfully performed functions unusual for it.
The first test flight of the Orion took place automatically in December 2014, when it was launched using the Delta IV Heavy rocket. The next one is scheduled for September 2018 of the year, the Orion (for now without a crew) will fly in a circumlunar orbit with the help of the SLS carrier, for which this, by the way, will be the first launch. And the first manned flight of the ship - immediately to the Moon - is scheduled for 2021 – 2023 years.

Fears and reality

Flying in low earth orbit, the crews are protected from cosmic radiation by the magnetic field of the Earth. Astronauts heading toward the moon, and especially toward Mars, lose this protection. However, according to Scientific American, citing data from the Curiosity rover, the danger of deep space radiation is not so great as to become an obstacle to the implementation of the Martian expedition. So, astronauts who spend 180 days to get to Mars, just as many to return from it, and also spend 500 days on the surface of the Red Planet, will receive a total radiation dose in the 1,01 area of ​​the sievert. According to the ESA regulations, an astronaut should not receive more than one sievert during all his flights. This dose, according to doctors, increases the risk of cancer by 5%. NASA has stricter standards: the risk of astronaut cancer for the entire period of his professional activity should not exceed 3%. However, according to one of the members of the Curiosity scientific team, Don Hassler, 5% is “a perfectly valid figure.”

Speaking at the People to Mars conference (H2), held in Washington this May, Scott Hubbard, who was formerly responsible for NASA's Mars projects, and now a professor at Stanford University, quoted NASA head physician Richard Williams, who said that currently there are no such health hazards for the crew that would prevent a manned expedition to Mars. ” Williams acknowledges that there is still some risk to the health of astronauts, but NASA is ready to accept it, especially given the fact that the agency is constantly developing new ways to reduce it. For example, at present, NASA is experimenting with a material made from hydrogenated nitride hydrogen nanotubes (BNNT), which exhibits very promising anti-radiation properties.

However, in the opinion of Andy Weier, the author of the book The Martian, on the basis of which the eponymous film was made, his hero would certainly fall ill with cancer during his stay on the surface of the Red Planet. Who is closer to the truth - scientists or a science fiction writer, time will tell.

When, for how much and with whom


Currently, NASA adheres to the following schedule of manned exploration and exploration of Mars. From 2021 to 2025, the year is planned for at least five manned missions to the near-moon space, including “capture” and the study of an asteroid. In 2033, astronauts must reach Phobos, and in 2039, they set foot on the surface of Mars for the first time. In 2043, the second expedition will land on Mars.
To support the manned “assault” of the Red Planet from 2018 to 2046, you will have to launch at least 41 SLS-type media. It is possible that launches of already operated carriers such as “Delta-4” and “Atlas-5” will have to be added to this (if the latter receives American engines instead of Russian ones and is still in operation). They will be involved mainly for launching automatic vehicles to Mars and Mars, which will be entrusted with the function of “scavengers” of scientific information to assist manned expeditions.

Of course, the number of carriers and their types can vary depending on changes made to the configuration of the Martian manned missions. There is an option that requires all 32 carriers of the SLS type (not counting five for the mentioned circumlunar expeditions): ten to provide a manned mission to Phobos, twelve for the first landing of astronauts on Mars, and another ten for the second.

The question of questions is: how much will it all cost and will the United States “pull” such expenses alone? According to a group of experts consisting of NASA employees, as well as representatives of industry and US academics, only a small part of the amount spent on the development and production of the sixth-generation F-35 fighter will have to be paid for sending astronauts to Mars. management of the United States, in the end, the program F-35 can cost a trillion dollars) and will not exceed 100 billions of dollars. This is as much as the USA has so far spent on the ISS program. By 2024, the station’s flight will be completed, and NASA will stop spending almost 4 a billion dollars on its operation annually. Thus, for the ten years separating the end of the station circling around the Earth and the start of the mission to Phobos, the amount of savings will be about 40 billions of dollars and the United States will have to additionally find only 60 billions to implement its Martian designs.

Speaking about the cost of the Martian mission, experts emphasize that it can be reduced even more if you connect international participants to the project. The obvious question is: Is Russia among them, which is currently one of the largest partners of the United States in the space sector and has a serious space potential (especially in the field of manned flights)? But if the United States has similar plans for Russia, as long as they are kept secret.

At the end of May this year, Space News presented the views of the head of NASA, Charles Bolden, on the future of international cooperation in space. He spoke about the importance of interaction outside the atmosphere with Europe, Japan and China. With regards to the PRC, Bolden mentioned that he was going to visit it at the end of the summer, stressing that sooner or later the United States and China would surely start working closely in the field of space. The list of potential space partners even countries such as Israel, Jordan and the United Arab Emirates. But Bolden did not say a word about Russia. Maybe there was simply no reason for this, but another explanation is also possible: sharply aggravated relations between Moscow and Washington, as well as the lack of technology and technology for deep space in Russia (for gaining access to them, the United States could set aside general political differences) do not contribute to the interest of America to continue the partnership with our country after the end of the flight of the ISS.
It remains to add that, in addition to the US state Mars program, there is also a private one that SpaceX intends to implement. The head of this company, Ilon Mask, announced plans to land the Dragon ship on the surface of the Red Planet in 2018, and send people there in 2026.

Speaking at the People to Mars conference and talking about why America is aiming for the Red Planet, Charles Prekott said: “Jumping in space happens only when the strategic interests of the country are behind them. We are going to Mars because we want to show the world our ability to do what no one has ever done before, to demonstrate our space leadership and to guarantee our access to the world space market, whose annual income reaches 330 billion dollars. ” As you can see, the explanation is quite simple. And the question arises involuntarily: does Russia really have no such strategic interests, which can be realized with the help of a project worth two Sochi Olympics?

      ).
      The United States National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced the successful testing of the upgraded RS-25 engine No. 2059, which will be used in the Space Launch System (SLS) - an ultra-heavy launch vehicle for manned expeditions beyond Earth orbit, including flights to Earth asteroids and mars.
      Testing was conducted at the John Stennis Space Center in Hancock County, Mississippi, NASA's largest rocket engine test facility at Stand A-1. The engine ran for 500 seconds, thanks to which NASA engineers received important data on the operation of the control unit and the inlet pressure readings. The SLS rocket will have four engines, including # 2059. You can watch the video of the testing at this "rel =" nofollow "> link.

        RS-25


        the whole joke is that the pc25 hydrogen engine is an EXPENSIVE engine and the point is not only in the engine itself, but in particular the process of using hydrogen. Hydrogen is expensive to obtain, expensive to store and expensive to use. In addition, hydrogen is unsafe. Hydrogen seeps through the walls of the tanks. Therefore, our RD191 and NK33 engines are BETTER, CHEAPER AND SAFETY of American hydrogen engines, in addition, the RD191 is more high-torque and weighs a TON LESS PC25.
        However, if pin_dosers want to fly to Mars, then a fair wind in the ass, as they flew to their moon, everyone already knows.

          Let's compare
          RS-25
          Thrust: 222,6 tf in vacuum (104,5% thrust)
          181,4 tf at sea level
          Specific impulse: 452,5 s in vacuum
          363 c at sea level
          RD-191
          Thrust: Vacuum: 212,6 tf
          Sea level: 196 tf
          Specific Impulse: Vacuum: 337,4 c
          Sea level: 311,5 s
          HK-33
          Thrust: 171 Tc in Vacuum
          154 Tc at sea level
          Specific Impulse: 331 s in Vacuum
          297 with at sea level

          As you can see from the above, the American significantly exceeds the specific impulse, which easily covers the problem of high cost and complexity.
          A single pulse is an indicator of the efficiency of a jet engine. Sometimes the synonym “specific thrust” is used for jet engines (the term has other meanings), and specific thrust is usually used in internal ballistics, while specific impulse is used in external ballistics. The dimension of the specific impulse is the dimension of speed, in the SI system of units it is a meter per second.

          Therefore, let’s do it without a break.

            come on, the hydrogen direction, as it does not develop in space propulsion engineering, and probably the main thing here is SAFETY and COST of launches. However, pin_dosers and F1 do not develop either, but everyone uses ours, so you can quietly be sad in the corner, which pc25s are good, but they will whether these engines are in demand is still not known.
            And besides, ours also has a hydrogen engine, it is not audible that it would develop, I wonder why? Yes, all the same because of a dead end.

                    RS25 is a second stage engine !! It cuts right at the start and helps the first one, which is solid fuel like a shuttle for SLS. And for our Energy the second stage is cut at the start, and the first for energy is 4 four-chamber kerosene RD170. The amers had this (supposedly) F1, but floated wink . There are no hydrogen tugs for 800 tons of thrust. Therefore, sissy is crumpled with its powder accelerators.

                      Just a few fuel tanks together with rocket engines will put into orbit, dock the ship, and then accelerate - RS 68 or RS 25 and fly by inertia. And most likely all this will be fulfilled on the delivery of everything necessary to Mars - automatic flights with a payload, and only then, after everyone has worked out and prepared, will there be a manned flight.

                Hydrogen is better as a fuel, of course, but do not forget that the density of liquid hydrogen is much lower than that of kerosene! This means that to store the same mass of hydrogen in a rocket, a 3 times larger capacity is required, and therefore heavier, so everything is not so simple here!

            Something I do not see that the Americans would fly into space at all. The international station is served mainly by Russia, and the states represented by NASA are engaged only in self-PR, and for some reason the results are not visible. So, one chatter. By the way, let them report back for their lunar "epic", otherwise, wherever you go, some questions and blank spots.

            Therefore, let’s do it without a break.

            Oh, yah, yah! Gut, Dafayte! But how and where will the American Katzmanauts write and poop? Before Mars, cut some kind of 8 -9 months, nada cheva-that gorges and pit, with all that it implies literally, so to speak. On the shuttle there was a toilet of their production, this is how it looked and acted, I quote:

            "NASA was concerned about future long-term flights into space even at a time when the Apollo crews were peeing in their pants, and they disdained to use packages (!?). The result of these concerns was the ACS (sanitary and sanitary device) designed for the Space Shuttle ", which first went into space on the space shuttle Columbia April 12 1981 years... Thus, NASA began using ACS on spacecraft exactly 20 years after the start of manned space flights. NASA engineers tried to construct their own original design: "The first American space toilets resembled Waring's blender, spinning at 1200 rpm about 15 cm below the known area of ​​the human body. The device crushed excrement and other tissues - say, paper, not the scrotum - and threw it all into a container. The machine produced a kind of papier-mâché. "
            But instead of gratitude, the astronauts again began to complain and be capricious, because "there were problems when the container was exposed to the cold and dry vacuum of space (this was necessary to sterilize the contents of the container). Here, the mass was already falling apart on" papier "and" mache. "When the next astronaut turned on the instrument, the blender blades began to grind small pieces of aspen nests of feces that remained on the walls of the container, and those already scattered around the cabin in the form of dust. "
            On the ISS, NASA no longer began to tempt fate and entrusted the toilet service to the Russian side - all stationary toilets on the ISS are of Russian origin. Initially, the toilet was only in the Russian Zarya module, and in 2007 NASA ordered a toilet for the Calm module: "The US National Aerospace Agency (NASA) ordered a toilet in Russia for the American part of the ISS for $ 19 million." Thus, the history of the American ACS has exactly 30 years, darkened by fecal popcorn. "

            And it really isn't worth it, but you need to think about it. What mission to Mars can we talk about if neither the United States nor ESA in the entire history of astronautics have been able to build a long-term orbital station. There are questions to Skylab, for example, unlike the Soviet orbitals, there was no one but the Americans themselves, and there are still unanswered questions.

                Stop! Wait a second, who offered the ISS and to whom? Do we need Americans?
                The long-term orbital station (DOS) "Mir-2" was supposed to gradually, module by module, replace "Mir-1" by 2000, but democracy and the rest happened. In the conditions of the bacchanalia of friendship with partners, the United States and the West bought for nothing the already built modules Zarya and Zvezda, which became the basis of the now ISS. Without these two modules, the entire station cannot function. Taperich is in command there and, on a completely legal basis, are being promoted, like the owners, by the Americans. Like this!
                And the MIR station was de-orbited by Russian democrats on March 23, 2001, diligently licking the anuses of their overseas owners with their calloused, rough tongues. These were, of course, not Putin, not Rogozin, not Chubais, and many other equally well-known hari of the Russian establishment.

An excellent article, it would seem there is something to think about, for example, about the role of Russia in missions to Mars .. But to see this, few people are interested here, again half of the comments (exaggerating, of course, but ..) about the fact that mattress mats without Russian engines are in general nowhere fly, or about the "filmed in Hollywood" missions to the moon .. and in general about what stupid "s". With this approach, it may turn out that when the time comes for flights to Mars, anyone will participate in such a mission as partners, China, EU, India ... but not Russia. Even the USSR and the United States collaborated during the Cold War, since it is expensive and idiocy to do parallel projects of such a scale as a space station. Russian scientists in the field of space, as well as the employees of NAZA, generally do not care about any political rubbish, they have cooperated, they are cooperating and I hope they will cooperate in the future, since space exploration is a common thing for all earthlings.

          The funny thing is that the United States on "hydrogen engines", in the period from 1981 to 2011, made 135 manned launches (in 30 years, on average MONTHLY !!!), as part of the Space Shuttle program! With one unsuccessful, which ended in disaster " Challenger ", - the space shuttle Columbia was successfully launched into orbit, where a disaster occurred on its return to Earth.
          As for the Lunar mission, which also used "hydrogen engines", yes, EVERYONE knows from history textbooks that in the period from 1969 to 1972, mankind (within one country) carried out 6 landings on the natural satellite of the Earth, the Moon. Maybe you know something more, or you, directly, have irrefutable evidence that this is a SCAM, - lay it out.
          But I dare to recall that during the expeditions to the Moon, no one, including the main rival enemy (at that time No. 1), the enemy, doubted the authenticity of this achievement. Speaking about the fact that the Americans have cheated ALL of you, you first of all cast a shadow over the generation of OUR people, which PROFESSIONALLY was engaged in precisely so that US and YOU would not be fooled.
          We will be able to talk about some scams and prove something only when we ourselves set our flag on the moon. "We have a favor, a little step!"

          1. The cost of electrolytic production of hydrogen is quite acceptable, in any case, not higher than that of other types of fuel (or not by much). In addition, hydrogen in large quantities is formed as a by-product in a number of electrolytic industries. If you properly organize its collection and disposal, you can save healthy.

          2. Yes, hydrogen has a malicious ability to penetrate almost any wall. You can’t do anything, small size and weight ... But you can also fight this, for example, get it only immediately before use. Of course, this will not work for a long flight, but you can use it for launches from the Earth.

I am not an economist and I haven’t dealt with the economics of space flights (although I guess that this is a lot of money), but it was possible to simply cite the economic parameters by launching on different launch vehicles: fuel costs, maintenance, equipment depreciation, insurance, payload weight, etc. ...

            It is clear that hydrogen is the most energy-intensive fuel, only a tank is needed for kerosene, when hydrogen requires a whole range of cryogenic plants, both for production and storage. Liquid oxygen also needs plants, but its temperature is almost a hundred degrees higher, which creates an order of magnitude less problems.

              Listen to the sober-minded, the USSR was 10 years behind America. Interestingly, the USSR can provide evidence of visits to the moon by automatic stations, soil, details of station blocks, everything must have been stolen and sold out for a long time.

                When did the USSR lag behind the states in space? Wake up. As for the evidence, the USSR, unlike the states, before launching the lunar rovers, specifically asked the largest English observatory to track the devices and provided elements of the orbit. This is what no one would have questions. While the states did everything quietly, and everyone should take their word for it. Our lunar soil was brought by automatic stations, though not much, unlike the United States, which for some reason does not have the declared 400 kg. Where is he?

He made such a statement today during a conversation with the participants of the youth forum "Seliger-2001". Answering the question about the possible falsification of the landing of American astronauts on the moon, Vladimir Putin recalled that, as some say, the events of September XNUMX, XNUMX. also rigged and "the Americans blew up the towers themselves." "This is complete nonsense, it is impossible," he said, stressing that he considers this event a tragedy for the American people and the whole world. He also suggested that only people unfamiliar with the nature of the activities of the special services can put forward such versions, and assured that "for technological reasons" it is impossible to hide such facts, since too many people are involved. V. Putin noted that he could not imagine that any of the current or former US leaders "could come to mind." The same applies to landing on the moon - it is impossible to falsify an event of this scale, the prime minister said.

      Now everything rests on the economy, and earlier on politics. That is, before, there were lines, the first in orbit, the first docking, the first multi-seat ship, the first spacewalk, the first lunar landing, etc. The main thing is the first.

      Now, the main question is - Why? NASA's budgets were cut. From the frontiers space exploits left. The global goal for which you can knock something out is the second Earth. unattainable at the current and foreseeable level of technology, although second Earths themselves can already determine.

      The economy - even the Moon and nearby asteroids for another decades, but rather a century will be unprofitable in terms of economic component (that is, it is more expensive to transport than to mine / synthesize / manage on earth).


      On the other hand, a breakthrough in electronics, robotics and autonomous systems, allows you to explore the entire solar system, which is now actively engaged. The same Cassini-Huygens - gave science a huge amount of knowledge and made several coups in the concept of the Solar System.

    US engines can do in 5-10 years. And no one can say that they will not be able to launch rockets to assemble the Martian ship. Even at a tenfold price, but without us. They will print money.
    But, on VO, no one pays attention to a completely different, more critical element of the ship for flight. This is a banal life support system. No other country has repeated our Electron. A "Electron-B" is the only unit that has passed the FULL cycle of life tests.
    Without our life support system, competitors will have to take more than one ship with them with water and air supplies. It turns out that all the indicated number of starts is required to be increased several times.
    Of course, the Americans jumped. And they even did something. But they could not do key filtering. Their module on the ISS is cleaned by our unit.
    Why is this so critical? Yes, very simple. Without us, not one earthly ship could last longer than 90 weeks in space in the 2s. Now the United States may be able to increase this period by two times. But not more.
    All the rest are far behind.
    It remains only to say thanks to the developer of the system - Vasily Nikitich. Bright memory to him.

He wrote about the creation of the world by God in 6 days and that the world is allowed to exist for 6000 years. In the courtyard was 5800, according to that chronology, according to Lactantius, the end of the world was to come in 200 years.

There are still many problems, for example, the landing system has failed for the second time, but sooner or later it will be brought to mind, especially since 20 has years of work ahead. Orion has already flown once, the SLS engines have already passed the hot tests. The only thing that is not clear how the residential module for a flight to Mars will look like. For the United States, this is really a matter of prestige, and if anyone can fly to the red neighbor, then this is NASA, if not to regret it.

    The United States is working on sending a full-fledged manned expedition to Mars.

    Translating into Russian, another polygon is being built in the Mojave Desert, now Martian, from where the Most Real photographs of Mars will be broadcast around the world.

    The elements of the Martian complex will be assembled in a bundle not in near-Earth orbit, but at the Lagrange point L-2. It is located one and a half million kilometers from Earth, behind the far side of the Moon, in 61 500. This point is considered an ideal place for the construction of space complexes, because it balances the forces of gravity of the Earth and the Sun, which provides a "construction site", which is practically not exposed to external gravitational effects. NASA calls the L-2 nothing more than a “test site”, emphasizing that not only the assembly will be carried out there, but also the testing of the Martian technology.

    And most importantly, you will not see from Earth in any telescope. But Hollywood will assure everyone by showing how brave guys in diapers first assemble their rocket, and then play golf on the Red Planet.
    yeah, America didn’t know such a grandiose drink from the Moon epic.

    the following plan of action: by 2025, make a manned flight to an asteroid close to Earth, in the middle of the 2030-s - to Mars, after which a landing mission will follow.
    Dream, dream ...

    18 tons of fuel will be required for the 33-ton take-off stage, and NASA intends to extract it from the carbon dioxide and water available on the Red Planet.
    This passage in general touched in full.
    First, on what equipment are they going to get this fuel? Will the chemical plant be dragged along? You can’t meet the tons in 20-30.
    Secondly, despite the fact that the atmosphere of Mars is almost pure carbon dioxide (95%), there is practically no water in it. There are no rivers on Mars either, so there will be a complete strain on the water. And given the pressure on the Mars, you will have to sweat with carbon dioxide.
    Thirdly, what kind of fuel can I get from CO2 and N2O - two OXIDATION products? The synthesis process is possible from a mixture of CO and H2 - a mixture of a reducing agent and unoxidized carbon. In principle, it is possible from carbon dioxide, but the costs are an order of magnitude higher, and the product yield lower. But where to get hydrogen? Of water? See secondly. And How? By electrolysis? Where is the energy? From the ship? Oh well...

    In general, the whole program is a very good example of inflating a soap bubble on the topic "let's dream beautifully and unfold cosmic perspectives in front of the wide-open eyes of the American man in the street." And if, through incredible tension and MANDATORY international cooperation, it is possible to carry out a manned flight "back and forth", then it is infinitely too early to talk about landing, extracting something from "improvised Martian materials" and returning it back. However, the Americans must constantly create the appearance that they are now "ahead of the rest of the planet."

You can’t go out of town, but the S model is a luxury sedan. From the very announcement, all predict the death of the company, only every year sales are growing. With regards to losses, the fact is that the cars were sold at a loss. But initially, Tesla occupied a niche part of the market. With the advent of the crossover model, things will get better. The cost of charging the battery is approximately equal to a full tank of fuel, that's just zero exhaust. In Norway, for this extra pay even, so to speak for environmental friendliness.

                        There were economic calculations that it’s cheaper to drive on electricity than on liquid fuel (gasoline or diesel fuel) plus the driver gets recharged during braking (recovery) ... So far the problem is that an electric car is much more expensive than a car with an internal combustion engine, it is difficult to operate in cold weather there isn’t enough infrastructure ... Although in Moscow there are sometimes Tesla roads (most likely they are bought by very wealthy people who have a country house and can arrange recharging at night and as an additional car - sp orthcar))) ....

                        First, look at how Germany is coping with the shutdown of nuclear power plants and how many% of all electricity today generates environmental sources of energy, such as solar panels and windmills. When they started it, many also laughed, saying that nothing can replace a nuclear power plant, but time has shown the opposite. In addition, there are such projects as, for example, the ability to supply energy extracted from sunlight and at night, that is, without interruptions for day and night, for which the Germans received a Nobel Prize. Mass production of electric vehicles will reduce their cost to the level of cars with conventional engines, but the operating costs will be lower, since electric motors are more durable and simpler mechanisms than internal combustion engines, so many incidental costs disappear. And the energy itself is more and more produced in an ecological way. This is actually at full speed, everything is going on, and not someone's dreams. Those countries that have slept through "green technologies" in the future will be in a big span.

                        Russia continues to move in the direction of nuclear energy and there are reasons for it, namely, a new technology for the closed fuel cycle has been developed and is being implemented, spent uranium will serve as fuel for a new nuclear reactor
                        Brest ”is that revolutionary project. Work on it began back in the late 1980s. They are led by the famous developer of nuclear submarine systems at the Research Institute of Power Engineering (NIIET).

                        Advantages of the reactor:

                        - natural radiation safety in case of any possible accidents for internal and external reasons, including sabotage, which does not require evacuation of the population;
                        - long-term (almost unlimited in time) provision of fuel resources due to the efficient use of natural uranium;
                        - non-proliferation of nuclear weapons due to the exclusion of the production of weapons-grade plutonium and the substation implementation of dry fuel processing technology without separation of uranium and plutonium;
                        - environmental friendliness of energy production and waste disposal due to closure of the fuel cycle with transmutation and burning of actinides in the reactor, transmutation of long-lived fission products, purification of radioactive waste from actinides, aging and disposal of radioactive waste without disturbing the natural radiation balance;
                        - economic competitiveness due to the natural safety of nuclear power plants and fuel cycle technologies, the rejection of complex engineering safety systems, only 238U reactor replenishment, high lead parameters providing supercritical parameters of the steam-turbine circuit and high thermodynamic cycle efficiency, and cheaper construction.

                        Nuclear energy is a dead end. This is not only dangerous, as disasters at nuclear power plants have shown, but there are also big problems with waste, or rather its storage. If everything is calculated, then nuclear energy comes out even more expensive than others. Siemens were leaders in nuclear technology, but decided to get out of this gesheft.

                        Not developing nuclear energy is a dead end.

                        The fact that the FRG / GDR were occupied (and in fact this continues to this day) is the only reason why the development of nuclear energy is stalled in Germany. Nothing prevents the victorious countries in the Second World War from generating nuclear energy: France is 5 times larger than Germany, the United States 10 times larger than Germany.

                        The waste problem is perfectly solved by closed loop reactors, as already noted in the comments.

                        And finally, you can compare prices for the population: in Denmark and Germany they are the highest: http://www.riarating.ru/infografika/20151119/610681297.html. And all this happiness is subject to large subsidies for renewable energy producers.

                        Come on, but before "Atomausstieg" adopted in the late 90s, in your opinion, there was no "occupation"? What does the "occupation" have to do with "the victorious countries"? The reason for the rejection of nuclear weapons is the red-green government of Schroeder-Fischer, social democrats and greens. And, of course, energy prices have gone up, as it is necessary to somehow finance the regenerative ecological energy. The problem of nuclear energy is accidents, the consequences of an emergency and wastes, which no one has solved. And when they talk about the supposedly lowest self-cost of a nuclear power plant, for some reason they forget that the cost of waste storage is not included there and it is fully subsidized.

                        This is still a theory and has not been implemented anywhere. So what is the conversation about?

                        They cling, as they say, in the fall, so when the German government launched a program of regenerative, ecological electricity, there were a lot of skeptics. But now Germany is a leader in green technology, and with a wide margin, this is a huge market.

                        Why does France have a nuclear power plant? One of the reasons is the presence of nuclear weapons. Countries with nuclear weapons need reactors that, at least in the form of electricity, bring some kind of exhaust in financing.

                        And if you take Russia, then it is all the more incomprehensible to me why new NPPs are needed? All of Russia is dissected by rivers, in addition, there is a lot of free space that is needed for the construction of a hydroelectric power station. A hydroelectric power station, if done intelligently with modern and efficient generators, brings not only stable and a lot of energy, but also absolutely environmentally friendly. So why then need nuclear power plants in Russia?

                        As Germany will be added to the permanent members of the UN Security Council, then they will sort it out.

                        Energy prices have risen due to renewable energy just. Let us turn again to the list of countries at the price of electricity for the population? Great Britain (with its almost complete generation of coal energy) and France (with its nuclear power plant) have lower prices. And this is considering that Germany produces 15 times more coal than Great Britain and France combined. And given Germany’s subsidization of its renewable energy producers. Leadership in green technologies cost Germany dearly; I would not like this for other countries. I mean an unjustified bias in the structure of power generation, and not a rejection of technology.

                        Seriously, not implemented anywhere? BN-600 of the eightieth year (in 1980 it reached full capacity) from parallel reality, apparently. And the BN-800, in April 2016, reached full capacity.

                        There is much more natural gas in Russia; it is cheaper to build thermal power plants than hydroelectric power stations, therefore in Russia gas thermal power plants make up the bulk of the generation. And renewable energy sources are also developing, but in those regions where it makes sense according to natural conditions, for example, in Crimea (and in), where a lot has been done over the past two years: after connecting the already built solar power station, the percentage of renewable energy will reach 50%.

                        I would call your rave reviews cheers-patriotism, but then you must be German ...

Of course, the claimed power reserve (400-600), which seems to be close to the performance of a conventional car, is difficult to reach and it is much more difficult and longer to refuel, but there is a rather large niche of buyers which the car is suitable for they’re ready to buy))))) Let's see what Tesla does with a luxury crossover ....

                Of course you can, one way or another. But this is no longer an attack on Mars a la John F. Kennedy, but a difficult and painstaking work for more than a dozen years. And before you start it, you need to clearly answer one question: what are we expecting from Mars and is it worth the effort? So far, an intelligible answer to this question has not been received even with respect to the Moon, and here a couple of difficulties are fewer orders of magnitude. In all this Obama's chatter, only the political context is clearly captured: we were the first on the Moon and will be the first on Mars. But doesn’t he wishful thinking?

                In matters of space exploration, I am both a pessimist and an optimist at the same time. I believe in the prophecies of Tsiolkovsky and Korolev that humanity must come out and come out of the cradle.

Of these flights, only one disaster, and even then not through the fault of the engine itself, but from related factors

    here is the article by df n Popova A.

    You also remember Mukhin am . Another conspiracy therapist. But for some reason Shuneiko with his almost 800-page monograph, none of the supporters of the lunar conspiracy recalls. Do you know why? They have THE WORDS, and he has tables, graphs, calculations.

    Again, supporters of the lunar conspiracy are trying to circumvent the issue of soil. Or indistinctly begin to mumble something like, "Why did the Americans give us only a few grams, if they brought half a ton?" Forgetting that the exchange was by weight. We give them 3 or 4 grams, they give us the same amount, and not in proportion to how much they brought. They (Popov, Mukhin, etc.) completely forget that there are tens, or even hundreds of thousands of photographs, kilometers of film in the archives of NASA. And all this is freely available. That's just paid. But we have as - if not "freebie", that is, free, then these facts, as it were, do not exist.
    Say "I can't watch them, after all.". Yes, without paying a certain amount - do not look. Moreover, they so, with a stroke of the pen, they write to the traitors the collectives of scientific institutes, in particular the Vernadsky Institute. Do you know why? Because those after research said that the soil is genuine, from the moon. And this does not fit into their theory. And if the facts do not fit into their theory, then all the worse for the facts.

    Okay, let's go back to our rams, that is, to flight to Mars. The only thing that is not entirely clear to me, maybe there was a mistake in the translation - this was the time of the first expedition to Mars. Both in them and in our materials (a few years ago such work was published and with us, pages of 600, with a schedule of everything and everything) it was said that the time of the stay of the first expedition on the surface of Mars will be in the region 45-50 days, and in the article they mention something 500

      The timing is either a typo (most likely), or they want to act on the old scenario. Mars and Earth are closest to each other once every two years. Perhaps the astronauts will be left to wait for the launch window for a year and a half, but this is hard to believe.

      Vladimir Markin proposed to investigate the circumstances of the flight of Americans to the moon


      An official representative of the Investigative Committee of Russia proposed an international investigation, during which to establish the location of the famous lunar film and 400 kilograms of lunar soil brought by astronauts. "And you can also help to conduct an international investigation where the film, filmed by astronauts on the Moon, disappeared, or where 400 kg of lunar soil are hidden and are not shown to anyone. No, we do not at all claim that they did not fly, but only made a movie. But that's all. these scientific or, perhaps, cultural artifacts are the property of mankind, and their disappearance without a trace is our common loss. And the investigation will show, "Markin is sure, listing a number of potential investigations that could be carried out by analogy with the" football "investigation by the FBI. There are still a number of conspiracy theories according to which the flight to the moon is a secret operation of the US special services, during which no one flew anywhere, and the shooting of the US flag on the moon was staged.

              And in recent years, the Americans’s lunar soil (more precisely, what they pass off as lunar soil) has begun to disappear altogether. In the summer of 2002, a huge number of samples of lunar matter - a safe weighing almost 3 centners - disappeared from the storerooms of the NASA them. Johnson in Houston. Have you ever tried to steal a 300-pound safe from the space center? And do not try: too hard and dangerous work. But the thieves, on the trail of which the police marveled marvelously quickly, succeeded easily.

            The wingspan of this monster with two fuselages will reach 117 meters, and the weight will be as much as 544 tons. And all in order to raise a rocket to a huge height, weighing 222 tons.
            Having reached a predetermined height and having accelerated to a speed of 850 kilometers per hour, the aircraft launches a rocket that turns on its own engine and goes on its own. The Roc plane returns to the surface and lands on a strip of a special airfield, landing on a chassis of 12 wheels and a front strut with two wheels located at the bottom of each fuselage. According to the plans of the company's founder Paul Allen (Paul Allen), the first test flight of the Roc aircraft should be made in 2016. And if everything goes without any complications, an attempt to launch the rocket into space for the first time will be made in 2018.

              6 747 class engines (originally written so) that by this the author does not mean I do not know. On the 747 engines were from Rolls Royce and pratt and whitney and general electric.
              The payload is satellites weighing up to 6.124 kg at altitudes from 180 to 2000 km.

    If the USSR, which was in space ahead of the rest of the planet, could not send a manned ship to the moon, then no one could.

    The issue is very controversial. What does it mean ahead of the whole planet? More manned launches? More astronauts? And in what period should all this be considered. For example, in only one decade we were ahead of the Americans in the number of manned launches and astronauts. And even then, this time was just the period when the Apollo completed their mission, and the shuttles had not yet begun. In all other decades, the Americans were ahead in the number of manned launches and the number of astronauts. We've always been good at "priority". But then the Americans came forward. And this is practically in everything that concerns manned flights. There is only one exception - as it should be for an exception. Our orbital stations. We were the first to start, the Americans launched only one, there were three expeditions. But in terms of the duration of the expeditions, ours caught up with the Americans only on "Salyut-3".

    Quote: Alex
    So "IS", or "almost ready" and "still working"? And then, you know, there is often a gap between these concepts. And often, irresistible.

    EssEli already experiencing engines, then there is no longer a chasm. But when they say, and the fact that we will have a 37-ton A-7 Angara, which we will then upgrade to raise 50 tons, this is already very far from reality. Americans have very bad trait - They DO WHAT PROMISE.

    Quote: srha
    Missile technology on chemical engines is a dead end in space exploration! Like a wooden boat for exploring the ocean. You can swim, but mastering is not possible.

    They are absolutely right. So after all, Americans do not talk about the exploration of Mars. Only fly, land and go back ...

    Quote: Choi
    The timing is either a typo (most likely), or they want to act on the old scenario. Mars and Earth are closest to each other once every two years. Perhaps the astronauts will be left to wait for the launch window for a year and a half, but this is hard to believe.

    You know, at one time, by the nature of my work, I had to get acquainted with many military-technical journals, including and english "Space flights"... Unfortunately in those years there were no copiers to copy the articles. So about the "window". As far as I remember, a slightly different return scheme was proposed. Not MARS EARTH, MARS-VENUS-EARTH. That is, they did not return directly to Earth, but flew to Venus, then the gravitational maneuver in its orbit and from there to Earth. This allowed us not to wait for almost 2 years of the launch window. Especially in the first flights, such a delay was fraught ...

    This is a banal life support system. Not a single country has repeated our Electron. A "Electron-B" is the only unit that has passed the FULL cycle of life tests.
    Without our life support system, competitors will have to take more than one ship with them with water and air supplies. It turns out that all the indicated number of starts is required to be increased several times.
    Of course, the Americans jumped. And they even did something. But they could not do key filtering. Their module on the ISS is cleaned by our unit.
    Why is this so critical? Yes, very simple. Without us, not one earthly ship could last longer than 90 weeks in space in the 2s. Now the United States may be able to increase this period by two times. But not more.

    Let me disagree with you. The autonomy of a ship is often determined not only by the maximum operating time of the LSS, but also by the tasks. Our "Soyuz" has autonomy in autonomous flight of about 30 days. "Shuttle" with a crew of 7 people - EMNIP - 15 days. But these figures are only for ships. At the stations, they were much higher. The same "SKYLAB" had it for about six months, the "MIR" - much more.
    Nobody is going to Mars on the same ship and is not going to fly. It will be a whole complex consisting of several modules. "Orion" is just a "taxi" from the Earth to the Lagrangian point before the start and exactly the same "taxi" from the complex to the Earth. The rest of the time the expedition will be outside the ship.
    The fact that our module is listed as American - so what's the problem? Let's redeem it, because it was built on American money.

      If you understand so well, then specify how the Americans lived at their station for more than a month? What was the consumption of water and oxygen per day per person?
      And what happened to the shuttle, in which they tried to stay in orbit a record time? How many crew members were fully conscious when they landed?
      And if the Americans are so brilliant, tell me, will they launch equipment that has not passed the resource tests to Mars?
      And what are resource tests? What is their duration for flying to Mars?
      And when you answer these questions and write out, temporarily, for all components of the ship, the time parameters of the passed life tests, then we can return to the question of whether our first colleagues can fly to Mars without us.

So there is no need for me to study thermodynamics: I passed the exam in physical chemistry in 1981 with excellent marks. By the way, in physics - too.

        And there is no need to recall the school curriculum either: I teach chemistry and physics at school. Moreover, in 2007 received a degree of candidate of pedagogical sciences. So both the barometric formula and the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, Raoul’s laws are well known to me.

    If by some miracle we finish the megawatt-class nuclear power plant within the stated time frame (chances still exist), then Russia can be quite "invited" to the American project, or stir up its own, or better - a joint one - with the same Indians or Chinese.

    The mass of our block fits into the capacity of the Angara-5 (even the tail remains); so we don’t need any monstrous SLS (expensive it is strong).

    Orion is also not necessary for us; because the Union will cope with the task of returning astronauts to Earth at the final stage of the flight; the speed exceeding the second cosmic one is not an obstacle for him. Of course, they won’t be able to make a federation (if they do anything at all except layouts).

    We do not need a transhub at all; any of the commercially mastered modules of the World or the ISS (as well as any Salute) is a ready-made residential unit for the flight period.

    The only thing we are in equal relation with the amers (at the level of full zero) is the landing block (to Mars).

    I generally consider the "solar-electric installation" complete nonsense; do not fly on it to the outer regions of the solar system; and it will weigh more than any conceivable reactor (We will leave the possibilities of nano-films in the design of solar cells behind the scenes, since their "survival" remains a big question).

    Who is technically closer to Mars? Financial - it’s clear that the United States, and technically? The dominance of all green and other downs, stopping technological progress, will not allow Amers to use the power of nuclear energy. Our situation is different - we have a peaceful (and military) atom in high esteem; the nuclear industry is developed like no one else in the world.

Before him, information about the atmosphere, the ground, the composition of the air, and other environments was collected by several more vehicles. Both orbital and ground. In fact, they have almost all the technologies to reach the surface of the neighbor. Once at the beginning of the 2000th zero, the mission to Mars was seen only as an international operation.

        Which is very bad and wrong. Science must not be confused with politics. If the Kremlin and the State Department have fallen asleep, then this is their problem, but what does the scientists have to do with it, what does Russian science have to do with it? Given the Soviet-Russian experience, the Americans would of course first of all organize a mission to Mars with Russia. But I am afraid that China and India may take the place of Russia, which will give them a powerful impetus for the development of their own space industry.

          China and India, with all their successes, are not able to "redeem" a place on the ship, which is about to fly to Mars. They basically have nothing to offer us for bargaining. But the Russian Federation also has experience of long-term stay in space and the development of a nuclear installation. Of course, in a better world where science and human aspirations are above politics, two countries could agree and land in 10 years. But now Mars is becoming the second moon for the United States. Recently, their prestige as the best country in the world has been greatly shaken, largely due to the actions of the first and last black president. The landing and flag on the red planet will be a huge success for the state. US propaganda.

            There are no such statements between China, India and the USA as we can erase into radioactive ashes, the Chinese and Indians do not conflict with the USA. And what can they not? They will give money and can. The authority of the United States has nothing to do with the work of NAZA and scientists. And by the way, authority ... When the trial mission took place, the experience of finding a group of people in a tight, enclosed space in Russia, something happened that, unfortunately, happens too often in the Russian Federation and that does not contribute to the growth of reputation. The fact is that all the necessary materials for the experience, from devices to things and even rations, it came from Germany. But at customs, customs officers requested a bribe, for which they were refused by German scientists, since their budget was not designed for bribes and kickbacks. So the container stuck out half a year at customs until they connected Merkel, who called Medvedev and only then let the container go. Today, the majority in the west sees the aggressor in Russia, and not only in the west. This is in the mid-2000s, with the Bush administration and its idiotic war in Iraq, the United States suffered strong reputation losses, but today, in this role, Russia is unfortunately. In my opinion, Russian scientists should make a statement that they, scientists and science are not connected in any way with Kremlin policy and are ready to cooperate with their American colleagues. If the mission to Mars starts to be organized without Russian scientists, then in my opinion this is a meaningless and powerful blow to Russian space exploration. It is necessary to separate flies and cutlets, the State Department from NAZA and the Kremlin from Roscosmos and other specialized design bureaus, although for obvious reasons, they should only give money, and as many independent observers as possible should make sure that they do not go a penny to the side. The first manned flight to Mars, this is generally the ultimate hellish technique, in simple terms, well, nothing is more complicated and cooler. Russia just has to be on board, regardless, it will be a dozen, seven countries, or only with the United States together, a matter of prestige and a chance for a firm place in the future of Russian space.

              It is not clear that for mimocrocodiles you are minus, however, as well as everyone who writes something in the branch except slogans and ridicule ...

              As for prestige, the fact is that the USA has a fad about being the best and the first in everything. About money is not so simple. Exomarz which all ears were originally buried was originally planned in the NASA and ESA coalition, but the United States refused because of budget constraints. Didn’t Germany and the whole European Union think up to invite India and pay one RN? Instead, despite the war of sanctions, I had to bow to Roscosmos. The budget of ESA is certainly modest and their strategy in cooperation with other countries in the matter of conquering Mars.

              China, if you look at the new Doctrine of the United States of America, is now in first place in terms of threat. Recent events in the controversial areas of the APR are proof of this. If anyone has a chance of cooperation, it is the Russian Federation. We and the plane once the long-haul fly, joint. And there is no tension in the relationship. True, in the Celestial Empire, they don’t look towards Mars at all, and there is simply no long-term strategy.

              India is a longtime opponent of China. Hoping that the astronaut 2 will be in the same boat ... the chance is very small. Lovers of elephants and songs with dancing in space, only one person was. Epta in 1984 year. At the union. There should be a maximum convergence in politics for the Hindu to take with them. Although again in 2004, the person in charge of the space program suggested that the United States send a joint crew by 2050. But in that year, close cooperation between space agencies was started, but here is a little exhaust.

              The ESA cosmonauts and their closest allies have the most chances to get into the crew. Although there will be more Americans, again to emphasize who the boss is. Although I saw a statement by an employee of NASA in which he does not categorically deny the participation of Roskosmos.

              P.S. Nasa has announced candidates for sending to Mars. Among them are a military pilot with a physical education, a test pilot from the Navy, a test pilot with sapper skills, a female test pilot, a marine, an oceanologist, a doctor of medical sciences specializing in emergency situations and sports medicine, and another physician from Harvard. 4 men and 4 women. They are already behind 30, so the question is where will they fly to 60?

    Do you know HOW the leadership of the USSR believed in the American flight to the moon?? The Americans showed the spacesuit to Mr. Leonov, and on the basis of this, he drew conclusions - if there is a spacesuit, then the Americans have flown to the moon.

    What are you saying? Was it really possible that they showed him the spacesuit and he bought it? Do you take him for a moron? Based on your logic, the Americans should have reported to the president that the Russians were also on the moon. After all, we also had the Krechet lunar suit. And Leonov, he is so trusting, so trusting. And I can’t imagine how he was appointed to the first lunar crew. BULLSHIT. He spoke at our design bureau 6 times - and not once did he talk nonsense about the spacesuit. And all “national technical centers of the USSR” were turned off. Prevention was carried out when alcohol was spread on the circuit boards in a “thin, thin layer.”

    ...The mass of our block fits perfectly into the load-carrying capacity of Angara-5 (even the tail remains); so we don’t need any monstrous SLS (it’s very expensive).

    ...We don't need Orion either; because The Soyuz will cope well with the task of returning cosmonauts to Earth at the final stage of the flight.

    ...Our situation is different - we hold the peaceful (and military) atom in high esteem; The nuclear industry is developed like no other in the world.


    And there will be no tail left. The modules, if you believe the materials published by the FKA of Russia - the work was called “Flight to Mars” and on about 600-700 pages, some aspects were discussed quite thoroughly and should be much larger than those that were on the Mir and now on the ISS. I'm afraid I'll be wrong in size, but something has a diameter of about 6-8 meters and a weight of up to 100 tons. so even the Angara A-7 won’t be able to handle them. "Rus-M" may have pulled it off, but they put a heavy cross on it.
    "Union" is not suitable from the very beginning.
    Firstly, since its autonomy even as part of an orbital station is about 1 months. And the expedition to Mars will last, according to different options, from 6 to 520 days.
    Secondly, this ship is not designed to enter the atmosphere at the same speeds that the Mars complex will have

    Residential blocks on the Mir-ISS base are not even being considered. They are suitable for flights in near-Earth space, but not at such a distance and not for such a time. There will still be people there
    Regarding the fact that we hold the peaceful atom in high esteem... You were probably at a fairly young age and did not live in the European part of the Union when the Chernobyl disaster occurred. He was so held in high esteem that many stations that were planned and started to be built then remained unbuilt. And the only nuclear rocket engine tested in Semipalatinsk is still emitting noise in the area where it exploded.

    I would recommend the second link, "Chronology". There are only manned flights and you won’t have to search out the total number. To avoid confusion, do this. Sheet. table with five columns.
    In the first, for example, USSR cosmonauts
    In the second - USSR ships
    In the third - a year
    In the fourth - US astronauts
    In the fifth - US ships.

    See a specific year in the "Chronology". A Soviet ship has taken off - place a stick in the second column. There are 2 astronauts on it - two sticks (or the number 2). The American flew - the same thing in their columns. Ours again - with us. And so on until the end of the year. Move on to the next one. There is a lot of work, I warn you in advance.

    There is something not entirely clear with the numbers in the article. According to calculations, there will only be a ship, a residential module, take-off and landing stages and a propulsion system. What will she be like - HZ. The only thing that is more or less precisely known is how much food and water is needed. How to protect water and food from radioactivity is still a question.

      A non-landing flight will have to be carried out using a more energy-intensive scheme in order to avoid a 500-day orbital hover. And I wouldn’t have delayed the flight and landing that much. What to do there for 500 days? Sitting in an iron barrel and eating radioactive canned food, hoping that nothing will break. And in 500 days, something will probably break during the takeoff stage.

    Exactly. But do not forget that the ISS is regularly supplied from Earth. At least 5 Progress flights, plus the Dragon carries something. Plus there were flights of French and Japanese ships. Although these rarely flew, they carried three times more cargo than the Progress. But on a Mars expedition, “I carry everything I own with me.” And it’s one thing to load the landing module with food, water and air for 45-60 days, and quite another for 500 days. After all, 500 days is a simple descent module, where you can’t live without it. We'll have to deploy some residential modules. And this is all weight and volume. In addition, food standards are a daily ration of 1,6 kg, plus an average water supply of 2,5 liters. If three people land, that’s 2,4 tons of food and 3,75 tons of water. Total 6,15 tons. The weight doesn't seem to be prohibitive. But volumes? Almost 4 tons of water is still 4 cubic meters.

    Your rations are a bit small in terms of weight. However, they will basically have to sit in a barrel. So they will get fatter if they don’t die from radiation sickness, or go blind from cataracts (caused by radiation), or have a stroke from weightlessness or after landing. Anyway. I myself once had fun with calculations. It turned out that in order to somehow accommodate on the road and on Mars, and it would also be nice to have a spare ship for takeoff, it turned out that God knows what kind of weight would have to be launched from Earth’s orbit, which would never be launched there. It turned out to be something like a thousand tons. In general, it's a disaster. It’s just not clear how you can fly there in decent and safe conditions, without heroism, I’m doing simple scientific work, and without ruining the country. We need some breakthroughs in engines or energy or methods of transportation. They write that gas-phase nuclear engines could help.

    Not at all. This is actually the weight of the daily ration. Moreover, according to our scheme, during the flight to Mars there will be 5 meals a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner and two intermediate meals). At the second stage (orbital flight around Mars) - four meals a day (breakfast, second breakfast, lunch, dinner). Return - four meals a day. Sachet - 50 grams. Plus 50 grams of water. Container-suitcase with food for 4 days. Daily ration - 1,6 kg... Plus 165 g tubes with seasonings, sauces, mustard, honey...
    So the weight characteristics are approximately the same.

    It is precisely the protection issues that are being most studied at present. It is very unlikely that radiation will be present in doses that can cause the diseases described above. Biological protection is a top priority.

    Is this with conventional chemical rocket engines? As far as I remember this science, it’s not even particularly useful for planting. Nuclear solid phases can be made without much innovation. Electropropellants are mentioned in the article. This is also an option, especially if you start further away from the Earth, for example from the mentioned L2, and if you achieve non-microscopic acceleration and if they do not die during prolonged operation.

      So it works out well for them anyway. Most of all knowledge about deep space is due to us. And who publishes photographs of nebulae, constellations, supernova explosions and other things?

    Is this with conventional chemical rocket engines?

    Of course not. As far as I remember there were several options, incl. and a nuclear engine. But actually, you need to look for this book in the archives. I remember the format, approximate name - I'll look for it

    Quote: Mikhail Krapivin
    If Americans directed their irrepressible energy to peaceful and noble goals, such as a flight to Mars, all of humanity would carry them in their arms. But they prefer to organize color revolutions, in every possible way to infringe on Russia, China and in general everyone who has not taken a knee-elbow position, while loudly declaring their love for the United States, like all the Baltic states, Poland and Ukraine.

    It's nothing you can do. When a country is considered a superpower, it does what is primarily beneficial to it. When the Union was a superpower, we also did what was beneficial to us. It is necessary - they organized revolutions, it is necessary - they supported the people's liberation movements. Now Russia cannot do this. America - maybe.

    I don’t remember exactly, I think “Flight to Mars”. Released by the Federal Space Agency. Year of publication - approximately 2010-2012. Analysis of our flight options to Mars. Perhaps not only ours, I don’t remember. It's on the hard drives somewhere. Have to search.

    What about Mars? It’s better to go somewhere straight away - to Neptune, for example, with the whole white house.

    Yes, mark the territory. Collect stones and... All.

    Did they make a toilet that works normally in zero gravity? Or will they shit in their spacesuits, or maybe continue to breathe ground up feces? laughing
