Russia has stopped the creation of a nuclear engine for a space tug

April 29 2020 43

At Roskosmos, they decided to temporarily stop the creation of a space tug with a megawatt-class nuclear propulsion system. This was reported by the agency the day before. RIA News with reference to the state procurement site.

The main reason for the “freezing” of a promising project was the failure to meet the deadlines for creating a rotary magnetoplasma dynamic engine, the operability of which, according to the plan, was to be confirmed on March 30 of this year.

The Keldysh Center has been working on the creation of an experimental stand since 2016. At the moment, the contract with the company is terminated.

At the same time, the Roskosmos said that despite the failure of the tests, the bulk of the work was completed and accepted. Therefore, testing of the experimental setup will be continued this year, but as part of another development work.

Recall that a megawatt-class nuclear power plant is being created for the future transport and energy module, the look of which was presented in 2018. It is assumed that this unit will be able to carry cargo in deep space. In particular, such a “space tug” can be used in the process of erecting a lunar or even Martian base.

Wah! And so they boasted, so they boasted about it for the last 4 years. It is a pity that this is a "failure to meet the deadline" and "failure of tests" ...

  It will not be different, probably.
  Nobody will go into details, tell us what the matter is.
  The main thing is that the notch remained in the memory, they stopped it, promised, did not do it. So one gets the impression that we have everything through the stump of the deck. On the next page, after all, no one will write, the "space taxi" from Boeing has not passed certification again, the delay is until next year, on the Musk rocket the "super-technological" engine caught fire and turned off right before the second stage separation. As far as I understand, the alcohol leaked on some sensor and caught fire. The first stage "FSE" has ceased to be returned. If it had happened a little earlier, probably the kirdyk would have been satellites.
  And now we will wait for the "voice of the people", now they will tell you what kind of corruption and stagnation we have, and there it is even an almost perfect success.

    ..on Musk's rocket, the "super-tech" engine caught fire and shut off right in front of the second stage.
    
    ... or 3 times a Starship cylinder with fuel exploded when something was pumped into it under pressure ... But for the fourth time it worked !!!

    And Rogozin needs to talk with Mikhail Kokorich of Momentus. His tugboats on water plasma are already in space. By the way - his office in Rusnano. And California.

      I suppose it will work with a nuclear engine.
      You, apparently, did not quite correctly understand my idea. I am talking about the fact that creating something new is a rather complex activity, designing and "embodying in metal" and assembling a finished product that has been used in production - these are two big differences. And so everywhere, it is a common occurrence all over the world.
      Thanks for the Mask example. The strength test, in fact the canister, can hardly be called something innovative, but even then 3 times all messed up. By the way, the problem with the engine is no longer a test, the rocket has been in operation for a long time, rather, it is an indicator of the reliability of equipment.
      With each delay, postponement, suspension of development (underline as necessary) universal grief begins. How so? Did you promise? This is always the case with us. Around corruption. Everything in our country is like that. Who will be personally responsible for such personnel decisions? And other infantile moans.
      And often they begin to tell "fairy tales" in the style "and everything is different there."
      
      And Rogozin needs to talk with Mikhail Kokorich of Momentus. His tugboats on water plasma are already in space. By the way - his office in Rusnano. And California.
      
      I am very happy for Mikhail Kokorich, but I believe that Roscosmos has something to do to correct the orbit of satellites without Momentus engines. In this case, we are talking about an engine for deep space. It is not entirely correct to compare the power plant for the "ocean liner" and the diesel for the "harbor tug".

        I completely agree with you! And not only me! Pentagon leaders agreed with you 60 years ago when they abandoned the development of a nuclear-powered rocket. It is precisely because “testing and testing the product” is necessary above the heads of its citizens, therefore they refused to implement the project.
        By the way, a couple of years ago when testing a Russian rocket with a nuclear engine, it sank at sea. And when it was taken out, something exploded, 5 people died, and it was unknown what area they were polluting with radiation. But in Russia, the people are patient, they spit on infection, but the Americans are too sensitive and take all sorts of disorders close to their bodies and raise a scandal. But do warriors need this? So they closed the project in a good way.

        I admire the scrupulousness of the Pentagon figures, however, testing over Hiroshima and Nagasaki did not bother them, and they did not hesitate to drive their own soldiers around the field after a nuclear explosion. Search for "Desert Rock Military Exercises". For the sake of fairness, I cannot say that the inhabitants of the Kremlin differed for the better in this regard, either, fill in the search for "Map of nuclear explosions of the USSR", if you did not know this, you may be surprised. The nearest point from me near Nefteyugansk, a plate with an interesting black and yellow picture is still hanging. As for "overhead", it is also not exclusive, the request "Nuclear satellites" is on the list for both the USSR and the USA. The engine being created and what the United States abandoned 60 years ago are two big differences. As far as I remember, that one was detonation. The idea of saddling nuclear explosions, those are still cowboy things.

        In the USA, both conventional (NERVA project) and pulsed nuclear engines (Orion project) were being developed. Both were dropped, although NERVA was pretty close to implementation. More precisely, it was embodied - only at that time it was too dangerous and not particularly profitable. By the way, the development of a pulsed nuclear engine (which works to ride nuclear explosions) was carried out in the USSR too.

        As I understand it, conducting exercises with the use of nuclear weapons and the participation of your own military personnel does not bother you? I meant that they have no moral restrictions. And to throw a bomb, and the soldier to push the arm under the radiation does not flinch, since you like being a lawyer, maybe you lick the Germans? Mustard gas was also used for the first time during the war.

        Exercises in the nuclear test zone are a necessary necessity, caused by a very probable atomic war. There was no urgent need for the launches of NRE polluting the atmosphere even in the normal mode, and even more dangerous in the event of an accident.

        Perhaps this will be news for you, but they were also created for military purposes and were also caused by a probable nuclear war.

        I didn’t list all the American developments? Did I downplay their greatest contribution to space exploration? Forgive me generously, how dare I be so uncivil. Surely, it is so painful for your subtle mental organization. Hearing this is unbearable for the "Musk Witnesses". Korvalolchik, if anything, accept.
        How does listing all developments change the essence of the matter? The second option is identical to that developed by Russian designers?

        And again, the transition to the individual. Any other arguments left?
        
        Was there a need for a check?
        
        The fact that the threat of nuclear war in those years was quite tangible. And, of course, it was necessary to work out the actions of troops in the nuclear bombing zone. Including yes, to study how much the factors of the explosion will affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, how to defend against them, etc.
        
        but they were also created for military purposes and were also caused by a probable nuclear war.
        
        Neither NERVA nor Orion were created for military purposes - they were created exclusively within the framework of space exploration. It was not created for a nuclear war.
        What about your last passage. You were told that the United States at one time abandoned the development of nuclear-powered engines. You answered, quote:
        
        Engine created and what the USA abandoned 60 years ago, two big differences. As far as I remember, that one was detonation.
        
        So that's it. They refused both the conventional NRE and the "detonation" one.

        You do not notice the contradictions? Tangible nuclear war and space exploration exclusively for peaceful purposes. The entire space program at that time was a side effect of creating nuclear weapons delivery vehicles. Even the FAA was created to kill. You are an incorrigible romantic. Do you think that the evil communists dreamed of destroying the American elves, and they thought exclusively about space exploration? I recommend saying goodbye to childhood. The world is not really what you imagine. There may be disappointments, for example, the NERVA engine was installed on the Saturn V, and it was created to launch military satellites. And the princesses, if that, do not defecate with buttercups.
        
        So that's it. They refused both the conventional NRE and the "detonation" one.
        
        Well, what's the problem? If one of the programs continued to develop, and I would say that this is not so, the essence of the claims would be clear.
        And so it turns out, the crux of the matter is that I have not sufficiently listed the contribution of Americans to the development of space? This is roughly how not all titles are listed? In this case, it is completely unimportant and does not change the essence of the matter. I continue not going to do this, I do not care about your feelings about this. I hope it doesn’t reach suicide?

        Therefore, they took all precautions, including using equipment to create radio interference. The warriors just did their usual work. In addition, the United States really tried to hide the secret part of the telemetry of the lunar rocket. All space explorations (both ours and ours) had a military component. Saturn-5, for example, could deliver to the territory of the USSR a nuclear charge of gigantic power of hundreds of megatons. Therefore, the Americans had something to hide.

        Once again, for the gifted - Saturn 5 was not designed for the military, it was developed exclusively as part of the Apollo program. This is evidenced by the fact that none of the versions of the rocket has ever been used to launch military satellites. Although they have all been worked out and ready to use.

        Confirmation that the Saturns were planned for military use is:
        - development within the framework of the corresponding military program with funding from the military department.
        - the use of rockets to bring military vehicles into orbit.

        The work carried out under the Lunar Program has acquired a nationwide scale and in mobilizing scientific, industrial and financial resources exceeded the "Manhattan Project" for the creation of an atomic bomb, which spent about $ 6 billion. Unlike the work on this project, the Lunar program did not have a "secret" stamp, which greatly simplified and accelerated the work, since all participants could freely exchange technical information both vertically and horizontally.
        In addition, the openness of the work allowed for effective public control over their conduct, including the media.

From what dumpsters they are dragging all this, it does not matter. If the site is the original source of the American, this, apparently, should be a certain "quality mark"?

        You posted a video with a speech by my president and invite me to believe him This Question? Don’t be crazy!
        Trump is a narcissistic patient, and does not hide it! He has YAYAIA everywhere! And he hates criticism from his advisers (hangs out like cards). And I’m generally silent about the press !!! The press that criticizes him becomes his personal enemy !!!
        But thank God that we have one Trump like that. In Russia, there are 10 million trumps (approx.), Which they can simply sue for criticism! After all, they invented a criminal article (!) For criticizing the state bureaucrats.
        Today, another Russian doctor jumped out of the window, the third already. Suspicions? I could not stand the pressure after criticizing the authorities.
        By the way, in the comment that you gave to see, Trump is still lying, CNN is right.
        And about the "Arkhangelsk tales." Having in orbit 10 times more than Russia, military satellites that have infra-, ultra-, x-ray, radio and other features know what sensors, plus optics with a resolution of 30 cm, it is difficult not to detect the flight of something with radioactive exhaust!
        C'mon man !!

        And after this lecture do you read me about the country of the winning TV? Will you tell how the Chekists in shabby leather jackets of freedom-loving liberals in "funnels" are being taken to execution at night? Here are the facts: The law of March 18, 2019 N 28-FZ was adopted.
        Amendments to the Code of Administrative Violations
        
        http://www.consultant.ru/document/cons_doc_LAW_320403/
        
        Changes to the Law on Information and Information Technologies and Information Protection, dated March 18, 2019 N 30-ФЗ
        
        http://www.consultant.ru/document/cons_doc_LAW_320400/
        
        As regards criminal liability proper, Art. 319 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation has been in force for a long time, the latest changes are from April 7, 2020.
        
        http://www.consultant.ru/cons/cgi/online.cgi?req=doc&base=LAW&n=349294&fld=134&dst=102060
        
        - the period of compulsory work has been increased (it used to be a maximum of 80 hours, now 360). What is required work, you can see in Art. 49 of the Criminal Code at the link:
        
        http://www.consultant.ru/document/cons_doc_LAW_10699/a65dac
        
        In general, do not tell my slippers about the terrible Putin repressions.
        
        Today, another Russian doctor jumped out of the window, the third already. Suspicions? I could not stand the pressure after criticizing the authorities.
        
        I’m not sure that this topic should be discussed in this context. Events are unhappy. Doctors have a hard time. They actually went to war and suffer losses. More than 70 medical workers have already died from coronavirus.
        
        https://ria.ru/20200429/1570746208.html
        
        Someone does not stand the nerves. My condolences to all these people and their families. To say that this is happening only in Russia is wrong.
        
        Bernard Gonzalez, doctor of Reims French football club, commits suicide
        
        In Poland, a doctor commits suicide after being infected with coronavirus
        In the hospital of the city of Kielce, who died in Poland professor, consultant of gynecology and obstetrics Wojciech Rakita. According to unofficial data, the doctor laid hands on himself.
        
        Lorna Bryn, a leading doctor in the emergency room at a New York hospital, committed suicide. According to the father of the deceased, she worked with patients infected with coronavirus and was cured of the infection herself.
        
        If you want such examples, you will find many. I suppose you should not speculate on this topic.
        
        By the way, in the comment that you gave to see, Trump is still lying, CNN is right.
        
        It’s you yourself who sort it out.
        
        And about the "Arkhangelsk tales." Having in orbit 10 times more than Russia, military satellites that have infra-, ultra-, x-ray, radio and other features know what sensors, plus optics with a resolution of 30 cm, it’s hard not to detect the flight of something with radioactive exhaust!
        
        For starters, I would like to see at least one picture relating to a downed Boeing over Ukraine, and I don’t remember something about satellite images in Arkhangelsk. And then in words you have a lot but as you dig deeper, there is nothing.

        Yes, on earth, but not in flight. And to test in flight their gut is thin - they regretted their own population (or their people). Because if the exhaust of a rocket (or its fall during testing) infects / kills at least one, then it will not be good (replace it with a suitable synonym, because “not good” is a very gentle word). But they, the Americans, are funny, really! Well, who in Russia will be with him, the population should be considered ...!

        This is your finger to the sky. The Yankees treat their population according to the laws of capitalism. Read at your leisure about biological experiments in the mid-60s on your own US population. There is a lot of information on this topic on the net. I also recommend reading the book "Potent Medicine".
        PS And by the way, the NERVA exhaust was not that much active. The main problem was the monstrous radiation of the reactor itself, not shielded by anything. After stopping, it “cooled down” for another two days.

        So try / test yourself “unshielded reactor with monstrous radiation” - the Americans are not competitive to you, they surrendered in advance (wimps, I told you!). This test will be under the law of “socialism with a human face”.

If my memory serves me right, they started designing in 2009. They promised the current model in 2018. It is sincerely sorry that everything is as always.

"Missed deadlines". RIA Novosti, as usual, sucks from the finger. One construction contractor, the notorious former "Spetsstroyservis" that built the test bench, is being replaced by another. Builders just change and that's it.

The main reason for the “freezing” of a promising project was the failure to meet the deadlines for creating a rotary magnetoplasma dynamic engine.

And I read something else there:

Roskosmos has suspended the creation of a transport and energy module (TEM) based on a megawatt-class nuclear power plant (NPP) due to an unfinished test bench.

Looks like the hat is no longer on Senka. The intellectual and technological degeneration of the Resource Federation is taking leaps and bounds. Negative selection over the past 20 years begins to do its job. A generation has been grown which, apart from cutting the budget, is capable of nothing.
